Secretary Reports on Visit
Abroad in 2-Hour Talk
in White House
Sees Chamberlain Also
To Tell Military Committees
of House and Senate of
Conditions in Europe
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Army off,
GERS are awaiting with interest the re-
suit Of the two-hour conference between
Secretary of War Baker and President
Wilson to-day. The Secretary laid be-
fore the President a complete report
Of his visit to France. 1t is assumed
he made many recommendations that
are likely to be put into effect.
The conference was made possible
when the President cancelled the Cabi-
net meeting to receive first hand in
formation from the fighting front. 1t
was the first visit to the White House
by Mr.. Baker since his return to Wash
lngton. Coming as it does day in ad-
vance Of his first public speech at q
Liberty Loan meeting here tomorrow,
the conference was looked upon as of
special significance.
While no announcement was made
at the White House or fro1H Secretary
baker, as to the matter discussed at the
conference. it is understood the report
OF the special aircraft investigation
m!ttee, headed by Snowden Mar
shall. was gone over. and that perhaps
the report soon will be forthcoming.
Whether the committees suggestion
that the aircraft programme be placed
IN the. hands of one man, directly ra-
sponslble to the President, will be fol-
lowed is yet unknown Numerous
changes in the present aircraft admin
istration are expected, however.
Secretary Baker conferred with Sem
ator Chamberlain and Representative
Dent, chairmen, respectively, of the
Senate and House Military Affairs COM
mittees. to-day. He expressed a de-
sire TO lay before Congress report of
his visit abroad, and it has been ar
ranged that he will appear before the
House committee next Tuesday morn
ing, probably in executive session. He
also will address the Senate committee
next week, at time to be fixed later.
Nj. Baker also conferred with Lord
Reading. The subject of the conversa-
tion with the British Ambassador was
not revealed, but it is known to have
concerned the movement of American
trOOUS overseas.

Entente Now a Unit,
Miner Tells 1T emps -
No Such Example of Loyalty
and Devotion in History,
He Asserts

PARIS, April 19.-"To manifest our
sentiments toward France we could do
nothing more significant than to place
our forces under the authority of a
French commander" Viscount Miner.
British Minister of War, said to-day to
the "Temps."
1--WE have not waited until to-day,
either, to understand the utility of a
single command or to recognize Cen
cral Foch's value" he said. Every
coalition has its weakness, but | do
not think there is an example in his
tory of an alliance carried out with
so much loyalty and devotion as ours.
Now the hour has come to be more
united than ever, and we are and will
remain So"
Viscount Miner said the importance
>of Gcrmanys aims in this great battle
may be measured by the violence OF
it's blow.
"Our fighters are worthy of the trial
they are facing" he said. attacked
by divisions far more numerous than
ours, they make up for lack of num-
bers by the courage with which they
decimate their assailants."

Is Ready to Act II,
Siberia IF Necessary
(By THE Associatefl Pres

TOXIC. April 12.-The japanese
press and public are not greatly con-
cerned over the situation which has
brought about the landing of Japanese
and British forces at Vladivostok. The
jingo elements efforts have fallen
fiat. Anti-government newspapers have
seized the opportunity, but have been
unable to make headway.
The "Nichi Nichi Shmbun" says the
Russian people probably will soon
understand Japans true motives more
fully. The "Kokumin Shimbun" warns
against snap judgment calculated to
cause trouble. 1t expresses the belief
that the Bolsheviki do not intend to at
tempt TO drive away from Vladivostok
the landing forces of friendly nations,
peacefully guarding life and property
from the mob.
Some effort has been made to create
a distrust of Americas motives, but
government officials say the United
States Joined Great Britain and Japan
in representations to Russia regarding
the situation at Vladivostok, and would
herself have landed troops in similar
circumstances. The United States,
they say, is merely observing the prin-
clplc OF non-interference unless abso-
lutte neceSSitV arises

German Diet Urged
To Demand Indemnity
Senates of Hamburg, Lubeck
and Bremen Pass Such
Resolutions

COPENHAGEN, April 19-The Sem
ates Of Hamburg, Lubbock and Bremen
have passed resolutions that the Prus-
sian Diet should make demand for war
lndemnities. The "Weser Zeitung" de-
clares that large majority of the Diet
Will support such a demand.
AMSTERDAM, April 1s.-Germany
intends demanding indemnities from
her enemies, according to Prince Fried
rich Wilhelm of Prussia, SON of the
late Prince Albrecht, Regent of Bruns-
wick, as quoted by the Cologne "Volks-
zeitung." In speech at Breslau, saws
this newspaper, Prince Friedrich Will
helm said:
'The eneHy's rejection of the hand
OF peace justifes us in demanding eco
nomlc and financial indemnities. Such
indemnities also are needed for our
economic development"
Germany Will have to observe the
greatest economy for her national debt
is now S31 ,OO0, 100000. and the hour of
reckoning will come when there will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth on the
part of the taxpayers. This reflection
on the German financial situation was
made in the Reichstag on March | by
Count Arthur Won Posadowsky-W elmer.

House Votes Increase
In Marines to $500
Pershing Plans to Use Entire
Division of Them With Ex-
peditiorary Forces

WASHINGTON, April 19.-1ncrease
of the Marine Corps strength to 49,
500 men was voted by the House to-
day, to enable the navy to put an en-
tire division of the sea soldiers at the
front with Pershing's expeditionary
forces. Provision for the increase,
which would add about so per cent to
the enlisted personnel, was approved
by the Naval Committee, and was
made a part of the Naval Appropria-
ton bill under consideration in the
House.
The action was based on recon-
mendation from General Pershing, that
the brigade of marines now attached to
his forces be raised to complete di-
vision. With 75,50O men the Navy De-
partment, not only could maintain a
division of $1,000 men in France, but
would be able to organize certain ad-

Austrians Mass
Troops Opposite
American Front
25O,OOO Men and Heavy
Guns Are Concentrated
Near Metz

According to information in German
newspapers received here, General Per-
shing's forces are quite likely soon to
clash with Austro- Hungarian troops on
the West front. The divisions the Dual
Monarchy has sent to help the Germans
are massed near Metz, and therefore
opposite the Americans vino are in the
front line near St. Mihiel and further
east in French Lorraine.
These Austro- Hungarian troops the
"Berliner Tageblatt" reckons at thir-
teen divisions of about 25O.OeO men, in
addition to much artillery, especially
heavy guns. "a large proportion of
the Lys and Picardy offensive sectors }
These troops are part of the German
General Won Gallwitz's new army
group, which has been interposed be-
tween the groups of the Crown Prince
end Duke Albrecht of Wurtemberg,
from Verdun southwark. But they
probably are Incorporated in a sepa-
rate army.
The position of the Americans, SO
far as they have been revealed, are
just north and east OF St. Mihel,
both sectors. on the Heights of the
Meuse; on the Xivray Seichepray line
further east; in certain parts of the
line near the Rhine-Rhone Canal and
further south near the Swiss border.
Major Endres, German military
critic, writing in the Munich "Neueste
Nachrichten," figures the parts of the
front the Americans have taken over to
be held by about five army corps, or
in the neighborhood of 100000 men.
AS to the total forces in the West,
Endres quotes Stegemann without ex
pressing his own approval or disap-
proval of the figures) to the effect that
the Germans have 200 divisions and
the Allies 1870, the latter being divided
into fifty under Haig. seventy under
Petain and sixty in the army of ma
nmuvre, the last named commanded
when he wrote by Foch.
Endres emphasizes as principal
handicap of the Entente Allies the lack
Of supreme commander. This. Of
course, has recently been corrected.

tion with the Germans, control the
route to Russia from Sweden, it was
remarked that General Roop would find
great difficulty in reaching Russia
1t also was remarked that General
Mannerheim, the Finnish White Guard
generalissino, was formerly distin-
guished officer in the Cars army, and
that his invitation to the Germans to
intervene in Finland might indicate that
other former Russian officers, despair
ing of saving their country from the
rule of the Bolsheviki in any other
way. may offer their services to the
Germans, with the understanding that
the empire in Russia be revived
1t was believed by the neutral diplo-
mat that the final decision of the
Entente governments and the United
States toward the question Of Japan
ese intervention in Eastern Siberia
might have a determining effect upon
the future actions of Russian officers.
1t is possible that these will set on

Military Developments

WASHINGTON,'A April 19-Thousands
OF Russian army officers hostile to the
Bolshevik regime, but who were in
sympathy with the revolution, are re.
turning to Russia from all parts Of
the world. This apparently concerted
movement is believed by neutral DIM
lomatic observer here, to foreshadow
important military developments in
relation TO the Russian situation.
A distinguished Russian officer in
the United States informed this dip
lomatc authority rnat both England d
and the United States had refused to
accept them in the British and Ameri-
can armies. The Bolshevik government
has deprived them of all their re-
sources and property. and there is no
recourse for them but to seek emplov-
ment somewhere" for their profess
sional services.
IL was stated that there are at the
present time 5000 Russian officers. ex-
elusive of Bolshevik adherents in
Vladlvostok, and that instead of heinz
unfriendly to the japanese, they have
given proof of their cordial FEELINGS
toward that nation, approving Of the
landing Of Japanese forces at V1adi-
vostok.
Speculation has been caused bv the
tact that some Of the Russian officers

wounded 81. Forty-fve men are re-
ported missing, but it is believed by
the British authorities that they were
not all captured and that many of
them were separated from their com
mand and are now with other British
organizations. This report of casualties
does not consider one detachment Of
fifty-seven men from which no report
has been received"
The report also quotes the letter
sent by General H. L. Mullers, COM
manding British cavalry division, to
the commander of one of the American
engineering units, conveying the con-
graduation of his superior, and the
letter sent by General Rawlinson COM

In capturing the Black Sea port OF

lBy Tho Associated Press

TOXIC, April 19.-According to the
"Nichi Nichi," Viscount Ichiro Motono,

nounced his intention to tender his
resignation. III health is given as the
reason for his decision.
A San Francisco telegram to The

were believed to be much dissatisfied
with his handling of the Siberian sit
uaton: The Toxic papers picked Vis

before that Ambassador to the United
States. When Uchida was hurriadly
called home early .his year the reason
