CRv Review Leased wire,


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The army program of 80 divisions in France by June 30. 1919. was embarked upon with complete confidence that Ger many could and would be defeated during 1919 if the project was carried out, General March. chief of staff. de clares in his annual report to Secre- tary Baker. made public today. That conviction was based on a compre- hensive study of the whole war situa- tion ordered by General March imme- diately after he assumed his duties as head of the army last March.
 After a study of the situation" the report says. including as accurate an estimate of the potential strength of our allies from the western front and of the probable German strength as was possible. I came to the eonclu- sion that the war might be brought to an end in 1919 provided we were able to land in France by June 90 of that year 80 American divisions of a strength of 3.36O.OO men.
 "On July IS. 1918, submitted to you a formal memorandum, accompanied by a study of methods by which the men could be obtained. the munitions procured and analysis of the shipping which must be obtained in order to accomplish this very large military program. This was accomplished by an estimation of the cost of the pro posed program.
 Tn this study I recommended to you the adoption. as the American pro gram of so divisions in France and IS at home by June 30. 1919. based on a total strength of the American army of 4.S5O,000 men, This was approved by you and by the president of the United States and adopted as our formal military program. To carry this program into effect required the adOp- ton by congress of a change in the draft ages so as to include men be- tween the ages of IS and 45 years. and also created a deficiency over the en- ormous appropriations already made by congress of some $T.000. 900. 000. The presentation of the program 10 congress. accompanied by the state ment that this increase in the army. if laws were passed by congress which would make effective, would lead to success in'1s19. produced prompt and favorable consideration by that body.
 Up to the signing of the armistice troops were being transported 70 France monthly in accordance with that program. The results speak for themselves"
 The remainder of the report is de- voted to a presentation of the steps it was found necessary to take to build up an adequate general staff and the that complete plan of reorganization for the army including the staff is being worked out.
 'I have directed the division of the general staff concerned to study and submit for your consideration a plan for the reorganization of our army.

WASHINGTON IS KEEPING IN TOUCH
 WITH PRESIDENT
Wilson Has Not Yet Found It Necessary to Communicate With White House, As He Left Desk Clear

ON BOARD U. s. SHIP GEORGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-(By Wireless to the Associated Press. 10 p. m.)- President Wilson today faced the test that the American troops have been undergoing on their way to France. The American executive was forced to don a life preserver and prepare to abandon a ship which theoretically had been attacked by a submarine.
 This afternoon the alarm bell and the "buzzer" in the presidents apart ment gave the signal to prepare to take to the boats.
 Previously having been instructed by Captain McCauley, President Will son left his office and called Mrs. Wilson and led her to a lifebOat. The president assisted Mrs. Wilson in ad- justing her life preserver and they stood in line waiting.
 Meantime. all the ships company was doing the same as the president. The drill was perfectly conducted and the people on board the George Wash ington could have abandoned ship in ten minutes.
 There was a steadily roughening sea today and the conveying destroy CTS looked like big submarines awash. The heavy swells at times made things uncomfortable for those not used to the sea, but President Wilson seemingly was enjoying the trip.
 Seven of the 12 destroyers escort ing the George Washington turned back today.

Referring to enforcement of the espionage act Mir. Gregory said:
 This department has proceeded up on the general principle that the con stitutional right of free speech, free assembly and petition exist in war time as in peace time and that the right of discussion of governmental policy and the right of political agita- tion are the most fundamental rights in a democracy"
 The attornel general disclosed that only 5000 enemy aliens have been ar rested on presidential warrants and examined with a view to internment and that "a considerable number" Of these have been placed in internment camps administered by the army. The balance were paroled. Most enemies interned were German and there were comparatively few German women or AustrO- O-Hungarians. About 4S0,0OO Germans have been registered in the nationwide census-26O,0OO men and 22O.0OO women.
 Up to last July 1, department of jus tice investigations had rounded up 23. .439 draft evaders, causing their in duction into the service. More than 220.O00 cases of men who had failed to file questionnaires or appear for physical examination were investi- gated.
 War activities claimed the principal portion of the report, and after refer ring to the growth of the departments secret service to six times its size in 1916 and the efficient organization of the American Protective league of 250, ,O0O citizen volunteers, Mir. Gregory said:
 Tt is safe to say that never in its history has this country been so thor oughly policed as at present.
 When it becomes possible through the lapse of time, to disclose fully the activities of these various secret services their work will stand out as one of the substantial achievements of the war.
 Hints of an American espionage were given in the statement that the secret service have given protection not only to the civilian population, but to the armed forces, and some of their activities have also resulted in direct damage to the enemy forces abroad"
 Great stress was laid on the sui ficiency of normal civil processes "and the needlessness of attempting to in- yoke the use of military tribunals in this country"
 The department has been hampered in suppressing propaganda said the attorney general, by ::selfappointed committees or associations of citizens. who, ignorant or dissatisfied with the scope of the federal laws or jurisdic- ton. have sought to supplement them by extra-legal measures of intimida- ton and punishment" Another ham, pering influence was the dissemina- tion of hundreds of unfounded reports relating to the use of poison gas agents, ground glass in food and dam age to Red Cross supplies.

This appar- atus, on the Pennsylvania, the most powerful transmitting set on any United States naval ship, and special receiving apparatus for receiving from high power stations used Ordi- narily only for transatlantic mes sages. The George Washington was also especially equipped with similar receiving apparatus.
 "On board both ships were installed radio telephones and the newest type of low power radio sets for use only in communicating from ship to ship. The George Washington and the Penn sylvania are thus able to communicate with each other and at the same time receive messages from shore.
 "All messages for the president are sent by the new naval high power station at Annapolis, which is five times as powerful as the Arlington station. These messages are received by the George Washington and the Pennsylvania simultaneously. All re- plies are forwarded from the George Washington 10 the Pennsylvania and relayed to shore by the Pennsylvania.
 At three special navy radio receiv- ing stations, one in Maine, one in New Jersey, and one in the navy building at Washington, expert operators are listening continuously for the Penn sylvania's messages. The messages when received are forwarded with utmost despatch to the transatlantic radio division of the office of the di- rector of naval communications, in the navy department, and the three copies are compared to insure accur-

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 5.-The former German crown prince, trudging over muddy country lanes, in Dutch sabots, is a familiar sight on the island of Wieringen, says a correspondent Of the Telegraaf Frederick William de clares that what he misses most is a riding horse.
 He plays billiards with the villagers and treats them to drinks and smokes and buys candy for the children.
 The younger HOhenzollern has breakfast at S:30 o'clock and dinner at 2 psm. He eats oysters and drinks champagne regularly, unlike his father, who dimes plainly. Neyerthe- less, he is reported to suffer from fits of depression
 Sometimes, according to eye wit nesses, he dons full uniform, re- splendant with medals and parades in front of the mirror. He then resumes a woolen sweater and knickerbockers and plays the violin. He is said to have a deep dread of Spanish influ- enza and takes preventative medicine regularly He becomes extremely nervous, it is said, when strangers near him make abrupt movements.
