ASKED AT ALL TIME

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25.-Back
from visit to the western battle front
Major General Leonard Wood, in a
confidential statement today before
the senate military committee, declar-
ed that allied military opinion is unan-
imOus that the German offensive will
fail and urged great increase-to
100000 to 100000 men-in Ameri-
cas- army.
1t was General Woods opinion. ac-
cording to his auditors, that the Ger
mans on the Western front now are
numerically superior both on the
ground and in the air, but that the al
lies are in better position While
confident that the German offensive
will be halted before the enemy has
gained any material detectives, Gen
eral Wood suggested that the offensive
may change the warfare into more
open contest. For that reason he re-
commended the training of American
forces of open warfare as well as for
trench fighting.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25.-Sacreta-

the total amount which may be issued
is $S,166 100000.
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditures of the
United States and the Allied govern

three billion dollars.
Congress will be asked for authority
to make additional loans to the Allies

was found yesterday afternoon.
Yesterday morning his clothes were

feet below the surface.
The legs were torn from the body
during it's drop through space and
remain hung up somewhere in the

were torn from the trunk Of the
body, leaving the ears attached to

The remains were collected to-

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.


The tact with which President Will
son has received the ovations accord
ed him in France has created a most
favorable impression abroad and at
home. Still more pleasing is 1T to
record the fact that he has gone to
Europe with a much more open mind
than many had feared was the case
Though standing firmly on his four
teen points, he is open to conviction as
to the best means of applying his
ideas. In brief, he went across with
no set program for the adjustment of
the many problems that must arise,
and he is devoting himself whole
heartedly to learning the views of the
representatives of the other nations.
On some of the greatest questions to
league of nations, the indemnity to be
assessed against Germany and the dis
position of the surrendered German
wal fleet, it appears the American and
British delegates will be in full &C.
cord, and there is reason to believe
the French representatives will be sat-
isfied in these matters. Furthermore,
Mr.. Wilson, it is asserted in Paris, in
sists that in formulating the peace
treaty no one nation shall be allowed
to assume the role. of master, debating
to the others their line Of conduct.
-
The president has not changed his
views as to the foundation of a league
of nations, and those, in general, meet
with the approval Of the British and
French. The French Society for a
League of Nations, of which Senator
Bourgeois is president, already has
drafted a complete plan for the consti-
tuition of such a. league and submitted
it to Premier Clemenceau. This So
ciety is not Of recent formation. It's
delegates will confer with members Of
similar organizations in the other al
lied countries and probably the result
of their deliberations will be submit
ted to the peace conference. One OF
President Wilson's demands concern
ing such a league, namely, that it's or
ganizatiOn shall be a part of the peace
treaty, will meet with opposition in
America, If not at the conference.
Some Republican senators are against
what they think would be unwise
haste in committing this nation to
such alliance and urge that the forma.
ton Of the league should be delayed
and made the subject of a separate
treaty, If adopted at all. Senator
Knox started the debate by proposing
a resolution putting the senate on rec.
ord as favoring the postponement OF
both the league of nations and the
freedom of the seas questions until
after the settlement Of the immediate
issues Of the war. -
Mr.. Taft, who for long has been pro.
noting the League to Enforce Peace,
Is combating this Republican opposi-
ton and, 1t is said, has warned the
Republican senators that their course
may largely help the Democrats to
win the next presidential election.
