ARMY IN FRANCE
READY TO FIGHT
Over Half Million Trained
Men For General Foch'S
Counter Offensive

Washington, May s.-More than
half a million American soldiers
have been sent to France. Sec
retary Baker yesterday authorized
the statement <hat his forecast in
Congress in January that 500. .00o
troops would be dispatched TO France
early in the present year now has
been surpassed. Mr.. Baker dictated
the following statement:
'IH January told the Senate COM
mittee that there was strong likeli-
hood that early in the present year
100000 American troops would be
dispatched to France. cannot
either now or perhaps later. discuss
the humber of American troops in
France, but am glad TO be able to
say that the forecast I made in jan
uary has been surpassed"
The Secretary chose his words about
the troops in France with utmost
care. He would not amplify the
statement in any way. and specifical-
ly asked that the press refrain from
speculation as to what precise figures
his guarded remarks covered or as
TO what possibilities OF early further
increase in the force on the other
side there might be.
All Equipped and Fit to Fight

Government is bending every energy

portation have expressed satisfaction
with the progress being made.
There is no doubt that the present
force of American troops there rep
resents only a small part of the to-
tai strength that will be, available
for employment by General Foch be-
fore the summer lighting ends.
There are indications, too. that the
War Department has adhered TO its
policy OF equipping fully before his
departure every man sent across.
That is the first consideration in
checking of supplies Of clothing and
arms. Mr. Bakers recent study of
the whole ordnance program was
founded on his desire TO see Just

retary announced that there Is no
present shortage of light or heavy
types OF these weapons. either in
France or America. and no short
age is in prospect.
Plenty Of Guns
Mr.. Baker said there had been no
question brought up as to the sup
plies of light type Browning guns.
which were coming forward in guam
titles. He would not say whether
shipment of these guns to France
had been started. As to the heavy
Brownings, he said;
Early manufacturers estimates as
to the production of the heavy type
perhaps were more optimistic than
was justified. The estimate of the
Ordnance Department in January has
been met and is being met. Some
of these heavy guns have been pro-
duced and there is every indication
of Forthcoming production in increaS-
ing and substantial numbers"
Secretary Bakers conclusions as to
machine guns follow on the heels of
pessimistic statements by members
OF Congress in this regard. In the
discussion of the production of
Browning machine guns. contracts
for other types both here and abroad
apparently have been lost sight Of
These contracts preceded the placing
OF orders for the Brownings, and
that supply was designed to meet the
emergency until the new gun was
available in quantities.
The present practice of fitting
American units with French and
British divisions it is pointed out.
makes the artillery question less
pressing as an immediate independ-
ent supply.
Thousands to Follow
The Allied divisions to which the
Americans are assigned already have
the artillery necessary, and the fact
that American infantry is added to
them does not mean a proportionate
increase in guns. 1t is manpower
that is being supplied by the new
arrangement. and additional gun
power will be necessary only where
independent American divisions or
army corps are formed.
Yesterdays statement regarding
the movement TO France is the first
official utterance made during the
war indicating even Indirectly the
number OF men sent abroad. The
first force to go over was never de-
scribed except as division. although
as a matter of fact il was consti-
tuted into two divisions soon after
its arrival on the other side. The
fact that more than 100000 have
gone this year also shows the ac-
celerated rate at which the men have
been moving forward since the win
ter passed and eased the shipping
and embarkation situation.
The effect OF Mr.. Bakers announce
ment in Germany and Austria. il il
is allowed TO reach those countries,
will be watched with interest. There
is little doubt that the German gem
eral stan has known that some hum
dreds of thousands of men have been
