The actual plan adopted is an out

Washington, April while the
battle in Picardy halted today in lul
that may only foreshadow the break
ing of a new and more terrible storm,
American troops We're Fastening to
join in the fray with their FSench and
British comrades. Formal announce
ment from London that these units
would be merged with the allied war
machines indicated to officials that
losses of the allies would be immedi-
ately made good with vigorous young
Americans, keen for the battle, and
the stage set without delay, not for
counter defensive but for aggress-
i've warfare without pause until the
German invader shall not only be
checked but hurled back to ultimate
military defeat.
President Wilson has predicted that
this will be tie decisive year Of The
war.
In the opinion of the military Off
GERS here American and French and
British-he has now taken the de-
cisive step toward making his words
good The power of American man
hood is TO be brought to bear without
delay not only in the American ex-
peditiou itself. hut also in the fight

this means the effects of American in

coming days the battle which may last
for months, Americans by the hun
dreds of thousands will play their

No explanation of the announce
ment from London was made today at
the war department Probably not
more than a very few of the highest
officials know precisely what method
is to 0e adopted to rush additional
forces to France Instead of an eX-
planation Major General March, act-
ing chief of staff, made public an or

Europe, directing that all information
hereafter regarding the activities or
all American troops overseas be cen
tralized in General Pershing's hands.
The war department will not give out
any statements relating to those
forces.
presumably. under the new plan or
merging American units in the allied
armies and also because of the crea
tion of a supreme commander in the
person of General Foch under whose
direction General Pershing as well as
General Petain, and as well as Field
Marshal Haig are now operating, IT
has been found advisable to provide
itary operations.
Revieding the meagre information
that has been available to the great
things that have been accomplished
since the German drive began, many
officials were convinced tonight That
Secretary Baker had been sent 20
Europe by Presidents Wilson for The
purpose of bringing about just the
amalgamation of forces that has been
effected In urging the single con-
mand for the whole battle front in

that the American war SECRETARY

Washington, April 2.-Controveray
over the Overman bill to give the
president general authority to reor-
ganize government departments and
agencies during the war which has
been smouldering in committees and
private discussions for weeks, broke
out in the senate today with the be

committee, who INTRODUCED the bin at
President Wilson's request opened the
debate. He said the measure had
been greatly misunderstood that 1t
does not confer any new substantive
powers on the president, but merely
provides for more effective execution
of authority already granted by con-
gress and that he did not see how
any senator could oppose it,

pressed by Senator Cummins. Iowa,

Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, re-
publican, supported the bill as neces =
sary to get troops to France
Senator Cummins declared the
president, under the DILL, could abol-
ish the interstate commerce commits
sion or the federal reserve board and
insisted that the authority should be
limited to specific agencies.
Senators Reed Hardwick and Smith
contended the president already had
power to make necessary reorganiza -
lions
Both Senators Overman and Nell
son declared the opposition to the bill
is based largely to reluctance to trust
the president
To the contention that the bill
should limit the presidents action to
specific congratulations. Senator
Overman declared that both Great
Britain and France have conferred
greater powers on their premiers
than this country has in the president
The president does not know him

president has been criticized for not

Senator Overman
Greater coordination is needed,

preparation of estimates and govern

daclared the general plan outlined in

Senator Gallinger, republican lead
er. asked If it were not true that most
of the committees referred to as
needed reorganization are not created
by the president Senator Overman
replied that even though that were
true, the authority to coordinate
them was necessary and that in ad-
dition to the special war agencies, the
bureau of standards and the civil ser
vice departments were among those
in which changes were needed.
