as they could make trips in the norm

MILLION SAMMIES
| OVER THERE SOON,
SAYS SEC. BAKER

WEST POINT, N. T., June 13.-
More than a million American fight
ing men will be in service in France
in the near future. declared Secretary
of War Baker in his address to 1877
graduates OF the United States Mill
tary Academy.
SuppIementing his recent announce
ment in Washington that United
States troops exceeding 100000 in
number have disembarSed on French
soil, the Secretary told the cadets sit
ID not unfair TO speculate that We
will shortly pass the million mark"
Gen Peyton c. March, chief OF
staff, who made commencement day
the occasion Of his first official visit
to the Academy. said that neither the
menace Of raiding German subma-
riDes off the Atlantic coast NOR the
territorial gains of the enemy on
the western front will affect Amer
ica's policy Of sending men TO France
as fast as ships can carry them.
Graduate Ahead of Time.
The graduation was that Of the
class OF 1919, whose members were
awarded their diplomas a year ahead
of time, the FIRST since 1917 TO attain
that distinction, because Of the urgent
demand in the army for trained Of
ficers.
Secretary Baker, who awarded the
diplomas to the graduates. told them
they were destined to have a part In
leading the armies Of the nation to a
victorious peace. After that" he
said, "as officers Of the regular army,
you will prepare. not for war, but
be ready for another war IL anybody
wants to make It."
Mr.. Baker declared that the United
States became a belligerent because
Germany tried to crush individual
human happiness and liberty which
we call the theory Of democracy.
Force for Right.
I'VE have Joined a combination in
which France and Britain and Italy
and the United States have assembled
in France the greatest force for
righteousness the world has ever
seen" he continued. We see in that
combination 4 submergency of inter
national discOrd and Of national sell
fishness."
General March told the graduates
they were fortunate in becoming Of
ficers at this time, when they will be
able. under war conditions, to achieve
rapid advancement
Commanding men at the front"
said the chief OF stan, will test to
the last ounce every bit Of military
knowledge you have gained here. You
will find your character tried to the
utmost, and IL any fail it will be be-
cause they will not have the char
acter to stand up under the strain"

As the result Of an order by Leon
Trotzky to disarm Czecho-SlOvak
troops which were endeavoring to
travel TO VIadivostok, and OF direc-
tons which he gave TO prevent their

outbreak occurred, eliminating IN

station at Penza, in the Volga region,
and boarded trains going in the di-
rectioR OF Chelyabinsk, which 1000
Czecho-Sloyaks are holding.
A battle also took place near Zlat-
Gust, where the Czecho-Slovaks were
obliged to abandon their train and
force their way forward on foot.
Government reinforcements are flow
ing in from all sides, and great ef-
forts are being made to subdue the
