berlain disclosed to the Senate that
Gen. March had told the military COM
mittee 1t was up to the United States

three million men in France by June
80 next year, with eighteen more divi-

Secretary Baker informed the COM

front, including Italy, and that the
theory Of the fighting in the future is
that we must force the issue and win

win.
II the draft ages are fixed at from

Ing the army composed of as many
young men as possible. Young men
between IS and 20. he said. not only
do not have many membranes, but
they are better fit physically.
THE policy Of the War Department
10 to put the maximum number of
men in France with the idea of short
.ening the war We found from fig
ures furnished by the provost marshal
general that we could embark on q
program Of eighty divisions in France
by June 30. 1919. with eighteen divi.
sions at home. These divisions con.
sist roughly Of 10000 men to di.
vision.
THE President" said Gen. March.
resuming his statement. has finally
announced that the American military
policy from this time on is centercd
on the western front. and we have
declined TO be diverted from that one
thing. The War Department has now
adopted this as policy. and it is the

MUST POOL RESOURCES
DECLARES UNDER SECRETARY
FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Lord Robert Cecil Says Great Britain
and America Must RedoubIe Ef.
forts In Fight for Justice.

London.-Lord Robert Cecil, under
secretary Of state for foreign affairs.
speaking at q government dinner in
celebration Of the fourth anniversary
of the establishment of the interna-
tional commission on Onrevictualing, said:
I'VE now are not only in the alliance
with the greatest partnership of ma.
tions. but we are engaged in the great.
est enterprise taxing the energies Of
mankind. All the suffering and all the
great strain on our resources can De
met only by the complete pooling Of
them.
Great Britain and America have not
suffered like some of the allies. They
have been spared the misery Of inva.
sion. That only means that we must
redouble our efforts in the common
cause. Everyone knows we have not
spared our blood. money, trade and
shipping. and we are not going to
spare them.
The unity Of the alliance is due to
the realization that we are engaged in
a great cause-fighting for justice
against force. II We are merely 60
ing to restore the world to what 1t was
before, then We shall have missed the
greatest chance ever offered to gen.
Grafton of men.
We must rebuild the international
system. That Is why believe this
commission Is the organization upon
which a league Of nations can ulti.
mateiy be built"
