the best army in the world. 1t is his
contention that Germany, in it's next
drive. must fail, and that conditions be-
rible aspect by allied air maneuvers will
make a cessation Of hostilities neces-
sary.
This idea is general. Nevertheless. the
administration is making never before
approached efforts to prepare more per-
fectly. Tho President is giving personal
attention to shipbuilding, for American
success is dependent on ships. AS here
tofore stated in this correspondence, the
placing OF 100000 Americans in France
is dependent on the ability Of this coun-
try to maintain ever moving 100000 tons
of food. fuel, clothing and ammunition.
WILSON DISCOUNTS SIGNS
The President, apparently discounting
evidences of possible early peace, is en-
deavoring to secure the necessary ton
mage. For obvious reasons the available
tonnage is not disclosed. but to say that
it is totally inadequate is to violate no
secret The testimony of Secretary Ba-
ker, followed by the torpedoing of the
British ship Tuscania, bearing American
troops, disclosed the fact that for present
needs, ships of England and France are
necessary for continuous American ac-
tivity.
It has previously been pointed out that
by the conclusion of this year the United
States is positively guaranteed an addi-
tional 100000 tonnage. For the mainten-
nance of 100000 Americans in France,
this additional tonnage will not suffice.
The President, quickly to appreciate the
gravity of the situation, and oblivious
to possible Developments in relation to
diplomacy. has set out to acquire in
addition to the guaranteed 100000 ton
mage, 100000 if possible.
RECOGNITION OF TROTZKY
For the further Strengthening of the
allies position, it has been suggested to
the President that the United States
should recognize the bolshevik govern
ment in Russia. Col. w. B. Thompson,
recently returned from Petrograd, where
he studied the situation in all its phases,
| is outspolSen in favor of recognizing the
Trotzky administration. 1t is the con-
tention of this prominent New York cap
italist and philanthropist that Trotzky
deserves consideration because he re-
fused to permit Germany to dictate peace
terms, and was highly instrumental in
arouslng spirit of democracy and dis
| satisfaction among workmen in Berlin.
| Irrespective of how the President views
this suggestion, it is known that he is
still determined vigorously to prepare for
any emergency-tha despite signs of a
German breakdown, he is moving as II
the result of the war depended on the
United States alone, and as if it was
certain the struggle would continue for
an indefinite number OF years.

Nv HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, February 9-(Special)-De-
spite the preparation of Germany to
initiate new drive for Paris and Ca
lais, and at the same time to direct sub
marine activity against troop ships bear
ing reinforcements to General Pershng,
the idea prevails in Washington that
ginning Of new year.
The basis for the prevailing idea is
belief that Germany, irrespective of its
Iii new divisions, each numbering 1900
men, on the western front, cannot break
through the allies lines, and that as a
result, internal dissention among social
lists will force the Wilhelmstrasse to pro-
pose IN acceptable peace.
In this connection, it Is regarded as
a notable fact that no one in official
position contends that the allies will to-
tally crush the German lines. Reaction
following indecisive, though terribly de-
structive, fighting will be more keenly
felt in Berlin than in Paris, London and
Washington. It is pointed out and as a
result the Kaiser will find himself unable
to froce another magnificent army into
the trenches.
OPINION OF SENATORS
Senator Williams Of Mississippi, one of
the closest students of the European war.
is not an optimist respecting the con-
clusion of an early and satisfactory
peace, but he is of the opinion that the
German machine must ultimately break
down. The Mississippian last summer
predicted in this correspondence the utter
collapse of Russia, and the facile check
ing of italy. In consequence his opinion
is regarded as one worthy of consider
alton.
Senator Underwood has depended on
economical conditions more than on war
prowess of the allies to force Germany
to its knees. 1t is his point that with
Germany dependent on German resources
exclusively and with the United States
supplying all its allies with abundance of
food, fuel, clothing and munitions, the
contest cannot long endure.
when the next German drive fails, it
is his prediction that hunger in Berlin
will compel the Kaiser to abdicate or
sue for peace.
GERMANY MUST BREAK
Representative Dent, chairman of the
House committee on military affairs, be-
1ieves that the end approaches He de-
clares that the allies are strong in num-
bers and in morale, and that the Amer

luately and intelligently, will prove itself

Selling Babies"
is Horribly True!

Paris, Nov. 9.-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press. .)-"Selling ba-
bies to soldiers" is Murry G. Sawyer's
Characterization of his activities as a
Red Triangle man with the American
Expeditionary forces. Mr.. Sawyer
comes from Minneapolis, MINI.
Horrible, isn't it?-but true" he
said to friend who met him in a
French village and asked what he was
doing. 'My particular outfit of men
have sold ten babies in the last ten
days and we expect to sell a hundred
more within the next two months.
Why, it's the greatest business in
France today-this selling of babies
to soldiers.
We have been working with a bunch
of men pretty close up to the front
lately, and when pay day comes
around there's nothing much to do
with their money. So we Y. M. C. A.
men began to figure out something to
offset that.
"There are SO men in platoon, and
we suggested that each platoon should
adopt a baby on pay day. It costs
500 francs to take care of a baby for
one year, and that meant that all but
nine men in platoon should pay 5
francs each on the first installment,
and five francs each on the following
payday Making a payment each
time of $50 francs, or the 500 in all.
Each platoon elects a leader who acts
as go-between, for the babies, are
bought through the baby department
of the Stars and Stripes. On the pay
ment of the second and final install
ment the leader gets seven pictures of
the child in various poses.
at will be possible for one platoon
to take up six babies a year, for it
would mean about dollar from each
man on every pay day, which comes
around about tice in two months.
"One man said to me the other day.
Gee, Sawyer, this baby business is
great. Who wouldn't rather have
baby than a. jag.?'
"And that's the way the Y. NJ. c. A.
men have figured it out. We have sold
ten babies in ten days, and we are go
ing to place one hundred right in our
division before next pay day rolls
around"

SOLDIER MAY
HAVE DESERTED
Duncannon Man Whose Uni
form Was Found Along
River Tired of Army

Duncannon, Pa. May 21.-The sui
eide theory first accepted when the
clothes of Clarence w. Myers. of this
place, serving in the National Army,
were found near Marietta has been
discarded by his parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. o. Myers, and other Duncan
non persons
Instead of indicating suicide, Dun
cannon people now believe that the
clothing found at Marietta was thrown
from a passing train, inasmuch as
no underclothing was found with
them. 1t is known that Myers was
tired of Army life and some are in
clined to believe that he may have
deserted.
The bundle of clothing found at
Marietta near both the Susquehanna
river and the Pennsylvania railroad
included only coat, hat and trousers.
With it was a letter addressed to
Clarence w. Myers from Duncannon.
Attached was found "a note with the
request: Anyone finding my things
will kindly send this letter to the
commanding general at Camp Merritt
and oblige a soldiers At first au-
thorities took up the theory of sui
eide, but this has now been largely
discarded.
Myers, who was about 26 years
old, had been making his home at
Duncannon. although employed in a
shoe factory at Harrisburg. Accord
ingly, last June, he registered at
Duncannon under the selective draft
law. In November he went to Camp
Meade, Md, with a contingent OF
Perry county men as part of the
county quota. Recently he was sent
to Camp Merritt. n. j., and relatives
here believed until Saturday, when
news of the finding of the clothes
was received. that he was on his way
to France with Company ID, one
Hundred and Tenth Infantry.
