FIVE MILLION MEN
MUST Be SENT TO
FRANCE IN YEAR,
THIS is DECLARATION OF
SENATOR REVIEWING
WAR CONDITIONS.

Washington, May 5.-flve million
men must be sent on the battle front
by the United States within a year,
Senator McCumber, North Dakota
declared today in an address to the
senate, which reviewed America S
work during the first year in the
war. The results OF Americas et-
forts have been almost negligible up
to the present, he said. Six months
have been wasted by the shipping
board and $640,0O0000 for aircraft
has been worse THAN squandered.
'If we fail to put less than 5,OOO,-
600 men on the fighting line before
the end OF another year" he con-
tinued, I'VE will again have grossly
failed to measure up to our moral
duty. We will have charged to our
discredit another year of colossal
blunders.
Quotes Schwab.
Senator McCumber contrasted a
statement of President Schwab of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation
that the United States would pro-
duce ship tonnage Of only 10000 900
deadweight in 1910 with the csti-
mates Of the U-boat lossc. OF 7,000,-
600 gross tons in 1918, ~ said:
~ program whc'i loEtemplates
but 100000 tonnage is trihing
with the most serious question that
ever confronted the people of this
country. 1t is worse than trifling, it
is suicidal.
Our only hope Of winning this
war is in being able to keep our al
lies in the field another year. That
means that it is incumbent upon us
to supply them with food. II we
can't get armies into the field, let us
at least send food and munitions to
those who are fighting our battles. -
Says We Are Slothful
As a preface TO his conclusions
Senator McCumbcr asserted that
what we had lacked most was the
foresight and determination to get
up and be doing when the flying
sparks of that great world war
threatened to produce cOntiagra-
ton that might force us on the firing
line
I'VE seem to have gotten so be
wildered in a maze OF little things
that we have lost sight of the great
requirements he said.
THE failure Of our shipping board
IS the most aggravating example of
failure to grasp a big situation"
I'VE have been literally burning
up the money which the taxpayers
have cheerfully paid to create and
support fighting army" he
charged.
while we can't win this war
without buying Liberty bonds,
neither can We win it by making
bonefires OF the money received
from Liberty bonds
The buster OF the public press
he said, which has grossly exag-
gerated everything in our favor. had
been another factor in the delay.

London, May 2.-"The war is like
ly to last long time yet said Cen
eral Sir William X. Robertson, ex-
chief of the general staff, spl King
here today. How long it will last no
sane man would dare to estimate.
"One Of the reasons why the war
was not finished long ago is that we
were unprepared for it when it be-
gan, while the enemy had been pre-
pairing for years. We now are pay
ing the penalty for that unprepared-
ness which in the past has caused
countries to become bankrupt or
ruined. But we have no intention OF
becoming bankrupt or ruined"
Il know" Sir William concluded,
chat every right minded person in
the empire has made up his mind to
see things through"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-05-03
Is Timely Statement.

Sir Williams warning that the
war is likely to last for long time
yet is commented upon in London
as timely. 1t is pointed out that one
reason why American intervention
did not sooner become active in
some fields is because America made
arrangements for Intervention on an
immense scale, and she realized
that a successful offensive against
Germany was necessary to win the
war.
The Times refers to a dispatch
from Washington stating that Dip
lomats anticipate a peace move, but
that no offer of mediation even from
the pope will be considered. Any
proposal of peace must come from
Germany, The Times declares, and
the allies will meet any such move
with the same unbroken front rs
they met the latest offensive.
