was opposed. though its opposition was
based not on any unfriendliness to
Japan but upon grounds that necessity
did not compel the move and that the

Allies and America

side, America developed a political Of

WASHINGTON. April p America
found itself today on the anniversary
OF President Wilson's request for war
on Germany, a great part OF the world

ord OF achievement.
More thousands Of men are now in

Some of Americas mighty task is still
in the making. There have been, and
SIN are delays In war work Some Of
our expectations were exploited too
boldly. and there are disappointments
ehcad
But, AN in all. the conversion Of the
country from peaceful land TO the
biggest single reservoir Of strength TO
mack up the Allies has been a story of
progress upon which history viii
doubtless look with praise.
Voluntary censorship forbids that the
press shall indulge in figures revealing
the number of forces abroad. But II
is recalled today that Secretary Of War
Baker predicted 10000 men in France
"early in 1915" and &c is known that

While a portion Of the overseas force
mas been fully seasoned for front line

In this country, the camps and can

sought to gain a separate peace with
Austria through a political offensive,
there is now no peace talk. The Rus

This has done much to cement the
American people into a stern deter

Goals. The result has been that re-
organization, started before Congress
undertook It's probe, has been COM
pleted and now the departmental
wheels run smoothly AID with more
visor than before. Chief OF Siaff March
has pumped pep into the organization.
Younger men are at the helm. Chiefs
such as General COethals, quartermas-
ter, have the imp )rtant posts.
The navy. with less reorganization

as II needed with less difficulty be-

These vessels and their craft have
aided substantially ina destroying or

the navy is engaged on a vast destroyer

anti-submarino devices OF American

America has poured forth her money
in lavish streams. This fund running
not I'm six Dgures but in mines and
tens Is being converted into war ma
terial rapidly and. FOR the most part,
efficiently.
The ordnance bureau. for instance.
has placed contracts running far past
a billion dollars. while aviation has
had more than a billion and soon wants
millions more. Secretary Baker esti-
mates that the ordnance bureau he'd
averaged contracts Of s6OO0OO0 a day.
Production Of MACHINE guns is now
ahead Of schedule except for the Brown
ing heavy type, and while France and
England are supplying the primary
needs Of she United States in big ar
tillery the nation Is producing the
large type guns, toe.
The ordnance bureau anticipated that
by the end OF the year It will have
more than 6OOOO,OOO shells produced ia
American factories.
Figures on the war make The brain
fairly reel. For instance, the army IT,
self has grown from a handful Of men
and ofilcers-say 10000 TO about f.
100000. Officers alone number close to
10000 at this time.
Supplying such a force has been a
trying problem. Delays marked the
earlier work. and there were COM
plants Of lack OF warm clothing IN
many camps during the winter This
situation was remedied. however, ard
the reorganized quartermaster branch
stated today that It has now collected
a reserve which viii obviate any short

supplies OF meat and other goods are
stored at convenient places so that
there shall be no tleups as occurred
when the railroad congestion was at It's

The clothing supply task is a tre-
