DETAILS OF u. S.
PLAN GIVEN OUT

Washington, D. c., Jan. $780,
GOO American troops in France early
this year-and a million and a half
more ready to go-fully equipped and
with the artillery to support them.
This was the answer Secretary Baker
today gave the Senate Military Com
mittee to the charge of inefficiency
and break down in the military es-
tablishment.
AS the climax of days explana-
ton of all that the military establish
ment had done, freely confessing
faults and imperfections in so vast
an undertaking. but maintaining that
out of each deficiency the remedy has
been found, the Secretary of War dis
closed what hitherto has been guard
ed as military secret, and what the
German people little suspect.
Secretary Baker told the Senator's
the United States would have a half
million fighting men on French soil
early this year, and that one and one
half million American troops in all
would be available for foreign DUTY.
Composition of the Force
This great fighting force, probably
little expected by the German gen.
eral staff itself, will be composed of
men now with General Pershing. the
thlrty-two divisions of troops now in
environments and camps in the United
States and ready to move, Secretary
Baker said, and by the next mere
ments to be drawn and trained this,
spring under the selective service,
law.
Elemental equipment of the men
from the United States is assured and
the artillery necessary to their sup
port will come from the British and
French Governments, which have
such an excess of ordnance that thew
have on their own initiative-offered
to supply the guns and save ships
which would be used for their trans
port.
Many of the facts have been known
to newspaper correspondents here in
the Capital, but cooperating with the
government under the voluntary
censorship, they have not, until this
time been given to the public by the
newspapers.

whatever position Senator Hardwick

lating the fact that Director McAdoo
has held lengthy conferences with
Senator Smith concerning railroad
legislation to be introduced in Con-

A thoroughgoing program of legis-

der complete and effective the con-

ment, and Director McAdoo is now
going over the details of this legis-
lation with administration leaders in
the Senate and House. Senator Hoke
Smith was one of the first men called
into conference with Director Nc
Adoo
Senator Smith has expressed the
belief that government control of
railroads under the direction of Mr..
McAdoo will afford the country a
thorough test of the mammoth ex-
pertinent which will determine whe-
Their or not the government is to en-
bark upon government ownership.
The Senator has full confidence in
