BULLETIN, 2:28 p. M.
Washington, May 13.-Secre-
tary Baker today added his
formal denial to that Of Lord
Reading regarding statements
as to the disposition of Amer
lean forces in France. Mr..
Baker said the facts were di-
rectly opposed to the state
ments and that American
troops were being used active
ly in battle land in such ways
as meets with the approval of
General Foch and General
Pershing."
The secretary dictated the follow
ing statement:
The statement made in morn
ing papers purporting to come from
Ottawa seems TO say that Amer
lean forces will not be used ac-
lively for the present, but will be
conserved until they constitute a
larger and independent American
army.
The facts are exactly otherwise.
american troops in France are be
ing used actively in battle and in the
trenches, and while all of the plans
of the war department look to the
development of the American
army as such, and the creation of a
distinctly American army, yet the
various elements of it now in
France are being used freely in the
general cause and in such ways as
are deemed most effective in ac-
cordance with General Pershing's
action in placing all OF our forces
at the disposal of the British and
French commanders and Of the su-
preme commander
Mr.. Baker added that he had no
Information as to the source of the
Ottawa dispatch.
Washington, May 15-Lord Read
ing, the British ambassador, in
statement here today, declared that
the announcement coming by way
of Ottawa that the American army
would not be fully utilized on the
western front until developed to its
full strength. was directly opposite
to information he had received from
the British war cabinet and that he
was in the dark as to its meaning.
The ambassadors statement add
ed to the puzzle in which Ameri-
can officers found themselves today
on reading the announcement from
Ottawa. Confidential information
reaching here recently indicated
that such plan as outlined from
Ottawa was under discussion.
Lord Reading Issues Statement.
The ambassador authorized the
statement:
The statement attributed TO the |
British war cabinet to the effect |
that the allies are so confident that
having been given the choice OF
small American army for defense
DR. waiting until they are reinforced
by complete. powerful, self-sup-
porting American army. 'hey have
chosen the latter, iS Numerically
opposed TO all the information re-
:eved by me from the British war
,abinet and the requests which |
nave been asked by them to make
1f the United States administra-
ion.
Il am quite in the dark as to the
,rigin OF the statement. At present
III ! can say is that ! am convinced
hat the document has not been IS
.ued with the knowledge of the
Prime minister or the British war
.abinet."
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-05-13

M. LeygueS SAID that in February,
March and April 3,723 French
steamers and 7S8 French sailing yes
sells passed through the danger zone
where few months ago losses by
torpedoing had been weary heavy.
Not a single ship was sunk.
Many U-Boats Are Sunk.
On the other hand, he said. the
number OF submarines destroyed had
increased progressively since Janu-
ary in such proportion that the eff
fectiveness of the enemy squadron
cannot be maintained at the mini
mum required by the regulations.
The number OF enemy U-boats de
stroyed in January, February and
March was far greater in each
month than the number construct
ed in the same months. In Febru-
ary and April the number of sub
marines destroyed was only three
less than the total destroyed in the
previous three months.
These results, the minister de
clared. were due 10 the methodical
character OF the war against the
submarine; to the close co-ordina-
tion OF the allied navies: TO the in
trepidity and spirit animating of
hcers and crews of naval and aerial
and TO intensiication OF
the use of old methods and the en-
= loyment OF new ones.

found by his comrades. Lieutenant
Robertson returned safely.
Lieutenant David E. Putnam, q
descendant OF General Israel Put
nam, was credited with twelve aerial
victories. He enlisted as an aviator
with the Lafayette flying squadron
and brought down his first enemy
machine on January 10, 1918. He
was awarded the French war cross
on March 23. after having won five
victories in the air. He later, was
decorated with the military medal
by the French government.
Lieutenant Putnam was transfer
rcd to the American Aerial Corps as
first lieutenant early in June. His
achievement on June 10 of bringing
down five German airplanes in one
day has been eclipsed only once dur
ing the war, Aviator Rene Fonck, of
the French army, having destroyed
six machines in one day. Lieutenant
Putnam's last aerial victory was re-
ported on September 2.
1t was with Sergeant Walter Shat
fer's squadron that Lieutenant Put
nam first began to fly and the dead
ace was often mentioned in the
Dauphin boys letters. The two bunk
ed together for while and some of
Lieutenant Putnam's daring exploits
were wildly told in Shaffers letters.
Putnam and Shaffer made MANY
fights together until the former was
transferred TO the American Army.
1t was while Putnam was in Shaffer's
squad that he beat down five Boche
aviators in one day.

NATION PLANS TO
TRAIN PRISONERS
FOR WAR DUTIES
Scheme Will Have First Trial
in New Jersey; to Work
or Fight w..
By Associated Press

Trenton, \. j., Sept. i9.-An ex-
pertinent which may lead to inten-
sive military and manual training of
more than 100000 prisoners in Jails
throughout the country to prepare
those physically, mentally and
morally lit for service in the Army
has been approved by the War De-
partment. according to a statement
to-day by Burdette G. Lewis, COM
missioner cf charities and correc-
tions, who said the plan would have
its first yryout in New Jersey.
Prisoners in this state, said the
commissioner. will be utilized in work
essential TO the war and will be drill
cd under the supervision of an Army
officer for incorporation in a separate
unit of the military forces.
The plan, the official stated, will
eliminate the objections of military
officers to the enrolment of felons
and misdemeanants with other
troops.
Prisoners should work or fight"
declared Mr.. Lewis, asserting that
the New Jersey scheme, IL applied to
other states, will result in the en-
ployment CT the countrY's entire
prisoner class in war work at home,
noncombative service in camps here
or abroad or actual fighting, accord
ing to the capabilities of the indivi-
duals.

Chemin des Danes branches off
from the road leading from Scissors
to Laon.
A strong counterattack led by
grenadiers of 4 the Prussian Guard
was repulsed by the French. who
drove the enemy back of the road
leading from the plateau of Ange
Gardiene to the Colombes farm. This
road is less than half a mile from the
Chemin des Danes.
Fighting Is Severe
This success drives deeper the
wedge south of the Hindenburg po-
sitions in the st. Gobain region and
facilitates operations in the direction
of Pinon.
The fighting in this region has
been most severe during the last few
days.
Prisoners now are complaining
that they are frequently left in the
front line to shift for themselves.
Rarely do their officers stand by
them when they are attacked. they
say. 1t often happens that machine
gun crews are ordered to hold po-
sitions and discover some time after
ward that the troops behind them
have abandoned the field. They at

an address on his findings before the
Chamber at luncheon tomorrow.
Impressed With City
He was very much impressed with
the city as a whole, this being his
first visit. Many of our types of
houses he found good and not few
of the local developments met with
his hearty approval. He saw many
houses that might be greatly improv-
cd at small expense but was more
deeply interested with entirely new
operations, it being his comment that
there is plenty of well situated land
about the city upon which attractive
groups of modern houses might be
located which would sell or rent at
CURES easily within reach of the aver
age workingman.
THE whole purpose of the survey,
said Mr.. Jackson, lis to ascertain
just what Harrisburg ought to do to
provide good houses at reasonable
rentals for its working men. We
realize that our need in this is great
and we hope Mr.. WELLER will be able
to find a solution for us. OF course
we cannot say now what will or will
not be done. Mr.. WELLER is here in an
advisory capacity and to talk for
publication now would be to antici-
pate what he will have to say at the
luncheon tomorrow. We have tried
to put all necessary Information at
his disposal"
Mr. WELLER was very much i'm
pressed with the Cameron Extension
section, which hesaid is an excep-
tionalIy good example Of this type
of housing.
