REIMBURSEMENT OF
AMERICAN ARMY

Washington, Sept. s.--Readjust-
ments of the American army on a
grand. perhaps. final scale with ref
erence to positions on the western
front, probably will take place before
the return to the United States of
Secretary of War Baker.
TO make such readJustment. how
ever, was not the purpose of the sec
retary's trip to Europe.
1t is understood that the plans were
worked out here before General Tas-
ker Bliss went to Europe. AT that
time it was foreseen by the general
staff. as it is seen by staff officers here
now, that the time would come when
the American army must be given an
"all-American" position and national
prominence on the battle front.
General Bliss now is the United
states representative on the inter-
allied war council. and it is under
stood the plans referred to are being
worked out there
