LETTERS EXPLAIN
Mr.. BAKERS TRIP
President Wilson Saw Need of
Visit to France by Secre-
tary of War.
URGED BY GEN. PERSHING

President Wilson's Endorsement of
plans of Secretary of War Baker for his
| trip to France, and the letter in which
the Secretary sought leave of absence
| to make the trip. were made public yes
terday.
| MI Baker informed. the President that
he had been urged by Gen. Pershing to
visit the Army and to inspect ports,
transportation, storage facilities and
camps.
/ Secretary Bakers letter follows:
February 20, 1918.
My Dear Mr., President:
II have had repeated cablegrams and
letters from Gen. Pershing urging that
1 visit our expeditionary forces in
France. and as our plans have gone for
ward L have come more and more to
realize the need of e actual inspection
of ports, transportation and storage
facilities and camps OF our overseas
Army.
of course. we are constantly having
officers of the several armies returning
from, France with information and rec
concentrations, but they frequently serve
only to illustrate the impossibility of
securing a complete view of the situa-
ton by any other course than d per-
Sonal inspection
Relatives and Friends Interested.
Tn addition to this the relatives and
friends of our soldiers are deeply con-
cerned to know the conditions under
which these soldiers live and the en-
vironment in which they find them
selves. 1t will be of Importance if
can give comforting assurances as the
result of an actual visit to the camps;
and il may be that I can suggest bet
terments as the result of our experience
here where great encampments have
been built up and d most wholesome
and helpful environment provided with
the cooperation of all the helpful and
sympathetic agencies which the people
of the country have placed at our dis
posal.
The various reorganiZationS in the
War Department have now progressed
to a place where l feel that they will
proceed uninterruptedly with their
task, and can, with more comfort than
would have been possible at an earlier
time. be absent for a brief time. 1. am
writing, therefore, to ask your consent
to my absence long enough to pay a
hurried visit to France for such an in
spection trip as I have herein outlined.
Ny plans would carry me to France
and wpuld include a thorough inspec-
ton OF our ports, lines of transporta-
ton and communication and camps,
with brief visit to Paris and London.
Respectfully yours

ing the age limits to include men be-
tween and 4E55; From this
number approx mat 900
fed for full military servIce are Sx-
pected to be secured:
: So urgent is the need for additional
manpower, General Crowder said,
that the draft machinery is being put
into shape for the great task ahead
without waiting for final action by
Congress. Men of the new draft Will
be needed by October 1 and in order
to get them, registration day will have

fixed as the day
When the 1900 men are enrolled
nearly $25, 100000 will have been reg

GENERAL INTEREST cENTERs
IN SITUATION ON THE PI-
cARDY FRONT.
ALBERT IS STRONGLY HELD
Increasing Artillery Activity Continues
Along New somne Battle
Front.


With the British Army I'm France
General interest in the situation along
the Picardy battle front has shifted
to the northward, where it is confirm
ed that the Germans are evacuating
some Of their forward positions. Beau
mont-Hamel, Serre, Bucquoy and
Puisieux-au-Mont have been abandon
ed. British patrols crossed the Ancre
at Authuille and Aveluy, north OF
Albert, and. went some distance be-
for they were fred upon.
Albert is still held strongly by the
Germans. British patrols, on entering
the town, were fred on from the AL
bert cathedral.
It will be remembered that the Ger
man retirement in February, 1917, to
the Hindenburg line was immediate
ly preceded by slight local retiret
ments such as have been made north
OF Albert. The mystery now is wheth-
er some such plan is being carried
out by the enemy.
Along the new Somme battlefront
quiet still continues except for rather
increased artillery activity at several
points.

RAILROAD HEAD
WARNS SHIPPERS


Washington. - B. L. Winchel1, re-
gional director, has issued drastic
warning to shippers and industries to
beware of waiting upon transportation
until the months of congestions. He
says:
Every effort should be made to In
duce all classes Of shippers, and more
particularly, the industries, to follow
the policy OF stocking up during the
remaining months of good weather,
when the flow Of transportation is the
easiest and the demands relatively
highest"
There is no doubt but that indus
tries in general for economic reasons,
have avoided carrying stocks, relying
upon the railroads to meet their cur
rent needs from day to day, or week
to week, but it is clear that M there
is an explanation made OF the great
demands which the carriers will have
to meet during the winter and the
difficulties of transportation that are
likely to occur (not merely because OF
the total volume of traffic, but the
preference that must be given to war
reouirements), the probable shortage
of equipment, ETC., thy will be willing
to stock up for their own protection"

has been estimated that the required
number Of men for class one may be
had only by including within the

must be added to the list Of regis
