"lRREDU CiBLE MlNIM UM"
Victory-!nsists Enemy Must Re-
etore AIsace-Lorraine To
France.

ashiEgton-Hailing the new Man
power bill as the weapon with which
America will win a complete and final
victory over Germany, Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, out
lined to the Senate the ''irreGucible
minimum" which the Allies should
agree to in making peace.
The essential conditions of a com
piete, secure ard lasting peace, as
Lodge outlined them, are:
Restoration of Belgium.
Return of Alsace-Lorraine to
France, not from sentimental rea-
sons alone, but to deprive Ger
many of the coal and iron of
Lorraine.
Restoration of Italia Irredenta,
including Trieste to Italy.
Re-establishment of Serbia and
Roumania as independent states.
Security for Greece.
Establishment of the Jugo-Slavs
and Czecho-Slavs as Independent
peoples.
Independence for Poland.
Restoration to Russia of prov
inces taken from her by the treaty
Of Brest-Litovsk.
REIMBURSEMENT of CONSTANT
nop!e by the Turks and establish
ment of the Dardanelles as a free
international waterway
Elimination of Turkish influence
from Palestine.
"Such victory" Lodge said, must
be won inside, not outside the German
frontier. 1t must be wen finally and
thoroughly in German territory, and
can be so won nowhere else"
The Manpower bill is the means to
this end, Lodge said.
Lodge warned that because
Germany now sees herself beaten.
with the Allies firmly in control of
the offensive and American troops
pouring in daily, new peace drive
may be expected. Because America
must face this peace drive in the next
few months, Lodge declared it of the
utmost Importance to know the sort
Of peace we are fighting for.

Losses FaIse-Casuaitics Net

lingtCn.-AnnOunci that to
date more than 100000 American
soldiers have embarked for foreign
shores, General March, chief of staff,
reiterated his firm belief that the
presence CT 100000 troops Of the
| United States in France by next sum-
| mer would enable the Allies to carry
out any campaign they may adopt for
the defeat of Germany and the end
of the war. Such declarations, Cen
eral March said, were founded upon
cold-'blooded study of the respective
man-power Of all the Allies and the
enemy in June, 1919 and ARE not
issued as spread-cagle statements"
General March Impressed the
newspaper men who met him in con-
ference with the absolute confidence
American officers have in their men
as result of the initial tests on the
battle fields of France. He intimated
that the somewhat sensational predic-
ton which he had made was based
as much upon these soldierly quail
ties as in the numerical superiority
which the War Department plans to
give the Allied command by mid-sum-
Eier of next year.
"The American soldier deserves
the confidence of the American peo-
ple," said General March. "On
every occasion so far where he has
been tested he had absolutely deliy-
cred the goods.
"My confidence III them is inspired
and developed by serving with them
and beside them in battle. l have
ordered back from France certain
men who have won distinction over
there to give them increased rank in
the divisions organizing at home.
These men talk the same language
do. You do not find any lack OF
confidence on the front in France
among the American forces.
"These officers are now telling me
interesting things which have not yet
come over in official reports. One
officer reported specifically that in one
engagement of the First American
Division they captured So German
guns and brought them in at the rear
of our trucks. On the same occasion
they took $500 prisoners.
Another officer reported that the
second division, which he was with,
captured 10 complete German batter
les which they brought in and pre-
scented to General Pershirg."
Discussing the changes on the
western front, General March said
the French operating in the Noyon
sector have now advanced across the
plateau overlooking that important
base until they have reached the Disc,
and have progressed northeast to the |
Ailette. The enemy has been pushed
out of Carlepont forest, south of
Noyof, and behind the Disc
Recent events, General March said,
emphasize that 1.-THE fine work of the |
French has been duplicated On the
British 'front.'"
Members of the Senate Military
Committee were assured by General
March that stories of great unpub-
lished American casualties overseas
are wholly false and that all casual
ties among the Expeditionary Forces
are given to the public as promptly
as the cables can transmit them.
