Baker Will Announce
His Army Increase
Plan Within 2 Davs
(By The Associated Pressl


WASHINGTON, April 30.-Plans for
increasing the army to keep pace with
the accelerated movement of American
soldiers to the battlefront in France
will be laid before the House Mill
tary Committee by Secretary Baker
within day of two Mr.. Baker said
to-day, after a prolonged session of
the Cabinet, that he would be ready to
submit his estimates in that time.
What increase is to be asked has
not been disclosed, but the report
most widely circulated is that an ad-
ditional million men will be provided
for in the appropriation bills submit
ted, bringing the army up to more
than 100000 men.
1t is known that very careful sur
vcy of the equipment and transporta-
tion situations was completed by the
War Department recently as basis
for formulating army increase plans.
The Provost Marshal Generals office
has taken steps to ascertain in definite
figures the exact number of fighting
men still available in Class 1 of the
mendations for authority to organize
additional divisions and estimate for
appropriations have been held up pend
ing the completion of these studies.
Previous plans contemplated the mo-
bilization of an additional 100000 men
during the present year. This project
represented the filling up to full
strength of all existing divisions and
the erection in France before the end
of the year of full field army under
General Pershing, with an ample re-
serve to keep the fighting ranks full
at all times.

April Ship Production
Shows SO P. c. Gain

WASHINGTON, April Ship pro-
duction figures made public to-day by
Eugene T. Chamberlain, Commissioner
Of Navigation, show that 100000 dead
weight tons of shipping were construct
ed during the month Of April in the
shipyards of the United States. This
is approximately an increase of so per
cent over March production. 1t repre-
sents thirty-two steel and wooden ships,
two-thirds of which, Mr.. Chamberlain's
report indicates, were constructed DUR
ing the last half of the month. The
best previous record in American ship
building was registered in June cf last
year, when 228,l54 deadweight tons
were launched.
The Shipping Boards official figures
for April construction will not be made
public, it was stated to-day until COM
pletc reports have been received from
all shipyards. Reports from Pacific
Coast yards may delay this compilation
until the middle of next week.

Foes Defeat
Costs Chance
To Win War
Vital Opportunity Gone,
Washington View of
Ypres Battle
By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, April 80 Great
satisfaction was felt here to-day over
the repulse of the most recent German
efforts in Flanders. Especially is this
so betause military authorities believe
the present great hattle-conceiving
the whole German effort of this spring
as one great battle-will be decided be-
fore the Channel ports.
The one chance Germany has left Of
winning the war before this country
arrives on the West front in ftFce lies
in the capture of these ports There
fore, any success of the Allies in that
region is success of prime importance.
1t is defeat of the main effort Ger
many now is making, the only ore
which holds out any hope, however
slight, of reaching decision.
This has become so because in all
other respects the German effort to
hammer way to victory has definitely
failed. The original German plan had
for its aim breaking through Of the
Allied army near the point of junction
between the British and French forces.
The break through was to be followed
by a defeat and destruction of each
army in turn.

Reported
[Staf Corrcspondcnce1

WASHINGTON, April 30. - Impa-
tience at the delay of Secretary of
War Baker in getting started on the
training of an additional army was
manifested in the Senate to-day by the
introduction of three measures provid-
ing for the immediate calling out of
from 100000 to 100000 men.
The measure for 100000 men was
introduced by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, Democrat who has been
mentioned for membership on the Mill
tary Committee. His resolution would
direct that committee to draft and re-
port at once bill for calling out
100000 additional men from the Sc
lective draft.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, a member
of the Military Committee, introduced
a bill for the calling at once of 3,O0O,-
600 additional men from the sNective
draft list. Senator Poindexfer, OF
Washington, Republican. intro dhced q
bill providing for the calling at once
of 100000.
Mr. Baker was urged by both COM
mittees at his appearance before them
last week to give the committees an
idea of how many men he would want
to call out at once, and what he would
want in the way of military appropria-
tlons. He put both committees of
and told them details were being
worked out. Many members of the
committees and of the House and SEN

to get started at once.

Poindextcr on the floor of the Senate
to-day, "directing the Secretary of
War to call an additional one million
five hundred thousand men from the
registry of the selective draft act and
to proceed forthwith to train and
equip them for service in the National
Army.

to act Immediately, and that there
ought not to be any delay in increas-

Terrific Toll Slows the
Enemy's Drive; Brit.
ish Positions Are
Improved $,
Locre Retaken by
French Assault
T'euton Attacks Fail at
Amiens and Noyon;
Foch's S Reserves
Intact

Clearly suffering from the crushing
repulse inflicted by the Allied
troops on Monday, the Germans
yesterday failed to renew their
assaults on the defences Of Ypres
and contented themselves with a
heavy artillery fire.
Fuller details yesterday emphasized
the Importance of the check the
enemy had received and his Sc
we're losses in men resulting from
the reckless attacks on the Flan-
ders hills. Along the slopes for
miles, observers reported, could
be seen the gray uniforms of
German dead.
The only sector where the Allied
line gave was between Mounts
Rouge and Scherpenberg, where
frightful struggle ragged about
the village of Locre. The
French retreated a short distance
and a few Germans got on the
lower slopes of the two hills.
Then the poilus counter attacked
irresistibly, retook Locre and won
back all but a small part of the
lost ground.
To the northeast, between La Clytte
and KENNEL, the British have ad-
vanced their line slightly. One
of the fiercest struggles ragged
about Ridge Wood, between
DickeDusch Lake and Voorme-
zeele, where the Germans ad-
vanced in wave upon wave and
were cut to pieces by thousands
in the Allied fire.
The Germans used thirty fresh bat
talions, besides the divisions al
ready in position along the line
involved. The only result was to
cut deep into Ludendorff's avail
able man power. The Allies met
and threw back this effort, the
greatest of the Flanders offensive,
with comparatively light forces.
Foch still holds most Of his re-
serves intact.
Few prisoners were taken, but this
was due to the violent hand-to-
hand character of the struggle.
Paris officially announced last night
that the enemy in Spirited en-
gagement" had captured certain
French positions near Noyon,
where the line crosses the Disc,
and had been Immediately elected
by French counter attack.
Having found the Flanders line ada
mant, observers yesterday agreed
the enemy would probably follow
his favorite strategy of shifting
his attack and striking on a wide
front far away from the scene of
his reverse, a likely point being
the Amiens front.
