With the American Army in France, Wednesday, March 20.--(By the As sociated Press .)-Secretary Baker to- day concluded his visit of inspection to the American military zones in France with trip which took him from the yerdun sector to great head quarters, and included review of one brigade of the First division, which he addressed as representative of the whole army. The secretary also vis- ited the birthplace of Joan of Arc, and made an incidental inspection of the troops here and there over the route which he traversed. Tonight the sec retary departed to fulfill other aspects of his visit to France.
 GROUND WAS MUDDY
 The brigade of the First division was reviewed from stage on high plateau commanding a wide panorama of one of the most scenically beauti- flu. parts of France. It is reached ky steep winding road from the val ley below. 4 20-hour rain had made it inaccessible by motor so the secre- tary and his party made the ascent on foot, slipping and sliding on the glassy mud.
 Just as they arrived at the stand General Pershing and his personal staff came across the field and dis mounted. The entire party then joined the. waiting division and brigade gen. erals and their staffs.
 cold March wind and October squalls of rains occasionally made the scene more impressive as the brigade in full marching equipment swept by at company front, each saluting like cloclSworS while bands played music which swelled and softened in the gusty wind. Secretary Baker lifted his hat to each regimental flag as it was lowered in salute and occasionally spoke to General Pershing, who stood beside him.
 MEN MARCHED SWINGINGLY
 This brigade from the first division to put foot in France was composed of men seasoned in training under summer and winter skies, and enured to mud and cold under all seasons Of campaigning. They were the first ili tEe trenches and the first to suffer casualties. Under the weight of full field eQuipment from trench tool fn

6OO,0OO TONS IF DUTCH SHIPS
 ARE TAKEN OVER

Washington, March 21,-The 6G0000 tons of Dutch shipping seized in American ports last night on orders from Presi- dent Wilson will be put into service. if was said today. as soon as they can be made ready for sea and cargoes are loaded The vessels will be armed by the navy department.
 Most of the vessels will go Into the transatlantic service, transporting food to the allies Some united for cargo work may be used as transports.
 Reports to the navy department, Sec retary Daniels said today, showed that the taking over of the ships proceeded ac- cording to schedule and without the slightest hitch
 The navy department will remain in control of aIlIthe ships until their final allotment has been decided The tank ships are expected to be added to the naval supply ships for use in carrying fuel to the oilburning vessels of the navy
 Although no damage has been done to the ships by their crews. as in the case of the German craft, naval engineers doubtless will be called upon to inspec, each of the vessels to determine whether drydocking will be necessary to repair the effects of the long wait many of thelr had in American harbors.
 The navy department is unable to pro vide complete crews for the ships, 1t was stated today. but nucleus for the en- zine room and deck forces is ready foi each vessel. Additions to the crews vii be made as rapidly as possible. Civilian crews will be put aboard those of thu ships which are not to be sent into ths war zone.

Wilson Wants People
 To HaUe Information
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington. March 21.-tspectaL) President Wilson is anxious that every man. woman and child of the United States know every thing that trans pired before the war which made it necessary for the United States to be- come involved in the European de- bscle.
 The bureau of public information has prepared series of pamphlets giving in detail all the facts-all that Germany did and contemplated doing not only in this country but in Mex leo. South America and European ns- tions. In the series are the addresses of the President prepared with notes which explain to the minutest degree every reference contained in his speeches After reading the series one knows SIS much as the President or Secretary Lansing about the story of German intrigue and Germany's dream

 It was the first time an entire bri- Eade which had been in action had
 been reviewed and the secretary com piimented the general commanding and the coionels of the various units. When the review was concluded the bri- gaoe and commissioned sofficers as- sembled in semi-cirele and were pre- . sented to the war secretary by Gem eral Pershing in brief address. in which he complimented their record of fitness and efficiency.
 TYPICAL OF AMERICA Secretary Baker. with barred head in the cold wind, told the officers they were typical American soldiers and saiG they were the point of the wedge of the army which the whole Ameii- can people is driving into the ranks l Of their adversary

DISTRIBUTION IF COAL IN ZONES IS CARP F|ELD'S PLAN Fuel Administration Com pletes System Which Will
 Save 16O,OOO,O0O
 Car Miles

Washington. March 21.-Completion of its zone system of coal distribution designed to bring about economies of 5 transportation and increased produc- ticn was announced tonight by the fuel administration. Railroad embargoes will be used to enforce operation oI the plan.
 Anthracite and coke are not atfect- ed, neither is coal used by railroads nor particular kinds used for specific purposes such as production of cer- tain by-products and gas. Coal moved on inland waterways and that export ed to Canada are not included in the regions.
 With the annual production of bi luminous coal approximately S00.000,- coo tons or 60 per cent of the coun- try's output it is expected that the saving resulting from the plan will amount to 160,000.000 car miles. Coal operators last winter complained that production was reduced because they could not get cars.
 The idea of the plan is to have coal corsumed as near as possible where it is mined. which is not the general practice now.
 A large part of the coal which the system will prevent from moving west out of the eastern producing districts Z will be available for use in New Eng land in so far as it can be transported ! there,
 Roughly outlined. the zones include:
 Mines in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa will supply those states; Nebraska, Texas east of the X Pecos river and Louisiana west of the Mississippi.
 Illinois will supply from April 1 to September 30, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Mis- SC uri, Arkansas. Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and from October 1 to March 31, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana Tennessee. Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
 Indiana will supply Illinois, Ken lucky, Wisconsin, Michigan.
 Western Kentucky fields will sup ply Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi Arkansas. Louisiana. Texas. Illinois Wisconsin. Indiana.
 Virginia, southeastern Kentucky, Tennessee will supply Kentucky In diana. Ohio and the lower peninsula of Michigan.
 Tennessee. Georgia, Kentucky and Virginia will supply the Carolinas Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia a and Florida.
 Alabama will supply Louisiana, Mis- sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida east Texas, Arkansas and west Ten nessee.
 West Virginia low volatile fields will ship to District of Columbia, North E Carolina, Virginia. Kentucky, Ohio West Virginia. South Carolina and Lake Erie ports for transshipment only.

of world empire at the expense of all free governments.
 Senator Underwood is mailing this series to the heads of colleges and schools fin Alabama with the idea shat teachers will find means of putting the facts in the hands of pupils. Pres ident Wilson believes that the war will be won easier and quicker if ev- erybody will become filled with right eors indignetion-if everyone will rec ognize that the life of the United States is at stake. and that in de- fense of it's life the nation must sac rifice it's every resource and. if neces- sary. it's every drop of blood
 In this connection the President Is as anxious that the people realize that the war is a real war and that Amer lean victory will be achieved only by the greatest national sacrifice as he IS that the people be confident of the ultimate result. In Washington the idea prevails that the war will be a long and bloody war
