AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE IS
GRoWiNG RAPIDLY.
Secretary of War Baker Says Prog.
ress Is Being Made-Awards
Diplomas, to Cadets.

West Point, N. Y, June 13.-More
than 100000 men will be in service
in Frai*e in the near future, declared
Secretary Baker in an address to 1877
graduates Of the United States mill
tary academy.
Supplementing his recent announce
ment in Washington that United
States troops exceeding 100000 in
number" have disembarked on French
soil, the Secretary told the cadets ut
is not unfair to speculate that we will
shortly pass the million mark"
General 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 submarines
off the Atlantic coast nor the terri
torial gains of the enemy on the West
ern front will affect Americas policy
of sending men to France as fast as
ships can carry them.
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 to be ready for another
war If anybody wants to make it."

OPEN DISCUSSION
OF TREATIES LOST
SENATE DEFEATS BORAH PRO.
PosAL BY DECISIVE VOTE OF
so TO %.
PRESIDENTS WISH PREVAILS
DisapprovaI of Amendment by Chief
Executive Mainly Responsible for
Its Defeat-Letter to Lansing
Explains Wilson's Position.

Washington, June Is. - President
Wilson's disapproval has killed a pro-
posal in the senate for open discus
sion of treaties. Senators voted down
SO to % an amendment by Senator w.
e. Borah of Idaho, embodying the pro-
posal which had been offered as an
amendment to the resolution of Sena-
tor Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama,
curtailing senate debate during the
war.
Open Diplomacy Defined:
The president made it known that
his advocacy Of open diplomacy was
not in reference to the senate execu-
tive discussion of treaties, in which he
recommends no change, but meant the
publication of treaties after their rati-
fication, in a letter to Secretary Of
State Robert Lansing. which was read
by Senator G. M. Hitchcock.
The main point at issue in debate
has hen just what the president meant
when he spoke of open covenants,
openly arrived at" The presidents at
titude, Hitchcock intimated, extends to
the treaty of peace which will con-
clude the present war. He does not
intend to urge open sessions of the
peace conference, but only that all
nations signing the treaty shall fully
inform their people of its terms after
it has been decided upon.
Peace Conference included.
The presidents letter follows:
"My dear Mr.. Secretary:
81 wish you would be kind enough
to formulate careful and conclusive
memorandum for the use of the com.
mittee Of the senate with regard to
the enclosed resolution. take it for
granted that you feel as do that this
Is not time to act as the resolution
prescribes, and certainly when I pro.
nounced for open diplomacy, I meant
not that there should be no private
discussion of delicate matters but that
no secret agreements should be enter
ed into and that all international rela-
tons when fixed should be open,
above board and explicit"

GERMANS MAKE DETERMINED
ATTACK ON VILLAGE NEAR
BELLEAU WOOD.
TURN LOOSE TERRIFIC FIRE
Americans Rain Shells on Advancing
Huns and Their Onslaught Was
Soon Broken Up With
Heavy Slaughter.

London, June 13.-The menace which
the Germans see in the advance of
the Americans and French northwest
of Chateau Thierry again was exemp-
lifted and in most disastrous fashion
for the enemy.
Two divisions of fresh troops were
thrown by the German command
against the American center at the
village of Boureschesz near Belleau
wood. A terrific fire Ras turned loose
by the American artillery, and the
German advance was broken up with
heavy slaughter. #.....
Reuters correspondent, writing from
the French headquarters, declares the
Germans are taking seriously" the
Amtrican thrust at the apex of their
line in the Clignon valley, and thus
far have used five divisions in at
tempting to counter 1t, but entirely
without, success.
Referring to the enemy's fruitless
effort to retake Boureschts, the CORE
spcndent says: .
Trusting to the deep woods north
east Of the village, and the twisted
spur of a hill to conceal them, the
leading division advanced in mass for.
nation.
Artillery Hits Mased Banks.
"They were observed. however,
from the Bots de Balleau and were
brought under destructive hail of
shrapnel before they could deploy.
The fire was so severe that the at
tack was disorganized, and no pro-
gress could be made for some time.
when the Germans did succeed in
penetrating the defense. they were
met with such enthusiasm in cold
steel that their only choice was death
or surrender.
"In the capture of the wood to the
northwest of Bouresches, the Amerl.
cans had to deal with machine gun
nests, a game at which they are be-
coming expert. Gun after gun was
captured and turned upon its late
possessors and the advance never was
materially delayed"

GERMANS ARE BEING FORCED
TO RETIRE NEAR BELLoY
AND ST. MAUR.
REPULSE COUNTER ATTACKS
-Four Hundred Additional Teutons
Have Been Made Prisoner and
Some Artillery and Machine
Guns Have Been Taken.

London, June 13-Further gains
have been made by the French troops
in the fighting in the region between
Montdidier AID Noyon, where in ad-
dition to the capture of territory near
Belloy and st. Maur, the center of the
line, 400 additional Germans have
been made prisoners and some guns
and machine guns have been taken.
Numerous German counter attacks
have been repulsed, but the enemy
succeeded at one point in crossing the
Matz river.
On the eastern side of the Disc
river. the French have carried out a
strategic retirement along the line
of Belloy-Tracy-Le-Val and Nampeel,
unobserved by the enemy.
In violent fighting between the
Aisne river and the forest of Villers
Cotterets the enemy made slight
gains against the French.
French Evacuate Wood.
French forces operating on the east
bank of the Disc river south of Noy-
on have evacuated the Carlepont wood
and the Germans are closely pressing
them southwark, according to the Ger
man official. communication. The
communication also asserts that the
territory on the opposite side of the
river, near where. the Matz enters the
stream, has been cleared Of Allied
troops.
Nowhere else along the battle trent
running from Montdidier to the region
around Noyon is any claim made to
further advances by the Germans. On
the contrary the latest communication
shows that the enemy everywhere has
been busily engaged In attempts to
hold back the French and other Allied
troops, among them some Americans.
Ignore Allied Advance.
No mention Is made in the COM
munication of the Allies having ad-
vanced their front east of Merry and
the Genlis wood or the repulse of
violent German attack along the
Aronde river and, the Loges farm and
Antheuil. Neither is there any men
|. ton of the fact that the enemy, not
withstanding his numerous attempts
has been unable to debrouch south of
the Matz river.
The communication asserts that all
the counter attacks of the Allied for
ces have been repllseL and that they
suffered heavy casualties. 1t dccisI ed
that the number OF prisoners taken
by General Won Hurtier's army has
now risen to-more than 10000
1t had been admitted that the posi-
ton of the defending line on the west
bank of the Disc river was delicate
one owing to the capture by the Ger
mans of the outfanking hills to the
west and successful drive through
the Carlepont wood on the opposite
Side of the stream seemingly would
have necessitated a strategic retreat
if the troops were not to be enirely
cut off.
