PAPERS ASKED NOT TO
SPECULATE ON TROOPS
Secretary Baker Discourages Com
ment on Number Of U. S.
Soldiers in France.

Secretary Baker yesterday again
appealed to American newspapers not
to speculate on the number Of Amer
lean troops in France or in transit
Mr. Baker said he would endeavor
from time to time to state the approx
innate numbers officially. and made his
request that the public might not pc
misled by speculations on possibly in
correct premises.
"A good deal of public comment.
through the press and otherwise. is
being made on the subject Of the num- :
Der of American troops in France and
the number from time to time in
course of transportation" said the
Secretary.
Papers Asked Not to Speculate.
Il want to ask the newspapers of
the country to refrain from comment
and speculation on this subject ex-
cept to the extent that official state
ments with regard to such numbers
are made by the Secretary Of War.
make this request because any pro-
gram Of troop shipment necessarily
depends upon a variety of considera-
tions quite apart from the number Of
troops in the country and the avail
able troop ship capacity. and ! am
therefore anxious that the people of
the country be not unintentionally
misled either as to the facts at any
given time or by speculative possibil-
tiles of the situation.
Il will endeavor from time to time.
and whenever it can be done. to state
through the press approximate num-
bers. MY particular request, however,
is that such statements be not made
the basis of differences as to future
intentions or possibilities"
Recently statements have been made
on the subject from the floor of Con-
gress or in bills and official publica-
tions 1t is understood that Secretary
Bakers request does not apply to
statements of such a nature. but pure
" to newspaper speculation.

PRESIDENT HEADS
$1,000 LIMIT LIST
Club Members Who Buy War
Savings Stamps to Amount
Law Permits.

President Wilson tops the list of
$50 prominent men and women of
Washington who have bought or who
lave pledged themselves for the full
$1,000 worth. the limit the law allows.
OF war savings stamps. The $1,000
Limit Club is growing. under the
'tivities of the w. s s. campaign
workers.
Presidents Wilson's pledge was
iron Club. Charles J. Bell. president
Of the $1,000 Limit Club is planning
drive to increase membership. He
proposes a canvass to make 1000
members
Text of the Pledge.
The pledge reads:
Il hereby pledge myself to pur-
chase $1,000. maturity value, of
United States war savings stamps with
money saved by me out of my income
during the year 1915"
Although II is desired that the
money used in purchasing the number
of stamps required for membership be
taken from income. this phase is not
binding. several members having pre-
ferred to use savings or other money.
Attention again is called by the
national war savings committee to the
Importance of buying war savings
stamps out of savings instead of
merely straining credit"
The Importance of this fact is
brought out in a statement by T. y.
Carver. professor of economics in Har-
ward University.
How War Will Be Won.
This war will be won, not by the
side which has the most man power.
but by the side which manages to
mass the man power at\ the points
where it is needed" says Prof. Carver.
I'VE have the man power; the next
thing is to mass it where it is needed.
Nothing else will win the war. The
more comprehensive and thorough
going our plans for massing of our
vast man power, the sooner We get
them into operation, the sooner the
war will be won," he says.

ending May Is purchased stamps
amounting to s3.0S7.55. This makes
