 ATTACKS UPON
 WOMEN, RIDDLES
Henry P. Davidson Tells of Dastardly Work Behind
 the Fighting Lines.

New York, May 1G.-A German of. fensive of terror against the civilian population of France and Italy was described today by Henry P. Davison. on his return from tour of inspection of Red Cross work abroad. He lis chairman of the Red Cross war cOun. cil. and comes back to iEaugurate the drive for $100.000,000.
 "The outstanding feature Of German methods at the present time,' he said. "is the effort to terrOriZe women, chil- dren and old men at home. German airDlanes are bombing nearly every night towns behind the lines with the deliberate and declared purpose of terrorizing civilians.
 "rhe purpose of the fight behind the lines is to break down the morale of the civilian population to such a point that they will impOrtune theh' governments for peace. It is the most distardly. unrighteous. cruel. devilsh plan which could be conceived. and has resulted in the maiming of thou. sands of women and children, and the driving of hundreds of thousands of terror stricken people from their homes to wherever tiiey might seek refuge"
 Mir. Davison described the efforts to uphold civiliaM morale as "one of the great missions of the Rcd Cross"

President Unbending in Op position-Chamberlain
 Forces Are Confident

Washington, May 16.-Another test of strength is pending in the Senate between administration leaders and critics of the governments war pre- parations. Upon receiving word to- day that the president still strongly disapproved the Chamberlain resolu' tion for further war inquiries by the senate military committee even in it's modified form, both sides laid plans for the fight which probably will be- gin tomorrow.
 Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the military committee, and author of the original resolution has stated he will favor abandoning the committees investigation unless the measure is passed in it's present form. He and other senators support ing it apparently are confident of winning, tho they ccncede the vote may be close.
 After conference at the white house, Senator Thompson of Kansas said the president felt even if amend ed the Chamberlain resolution pro posed dragnet war inquiry em barrassing to the administration and also possibly to the aviation inquiry under Charles E. Hughes and the de- partment of justice.

MEN AND MUNITIONS
 READY, NEED SHIPS
Two Million Men (lcmencean propll- csies Gan Easily br Transported if Vessels Gam be Obtained
 to Carry Them.

Washington, May l6.-With more than o00,000 men now In France, ar my officials are more hopeful that a poewrful American force will be co- operating with the allies there by the end of the year. Unhappy experience With ovef-Sangulne estimates of what can be accomplished make them slow to put their hopes into definite predic- tions, however, and it was not possible tonight to obtain specific confirma- tion of the report from Paris that l : 5UO,O00 fighting troops before Jan uary have been promised. The state ment of Premier Clemenceau's news paper that such promise had been made was not believed by army off cers generally to mean that the Am ican government had definitely pledg- ed itself to deliver q specific number of men within a time limit
 Secretary Baker would make no comment on the statement. Many weeks ago he told the senate military committee, however, that the govern ment had hopes of getting 1,500,0 men to the front during the year. Since then his estimate that 1000 would reach France early in the year has been fulfilled, and since then also the German drive has changed the whole course of events and brought about a speeding up of American participation which has a- ready shown results.
 The French articles indicates that under the program total of 2,000,- 900 American troops would reach France during the year, 1,5000.000 of which would be fightin" units. Wheth CT the result can be obtained depends on the shipping situation. The men and the essential equipment for them can be ready.
