TO SEND 100000
MEN TO FRANCE?
Greater Need of Men Than Food
Now.
ALL POSSIBLE UNITS TO GO
Secretary Baker Cabled His Approx
al-May Increase the Draft
Numbers. to Get Big
Army Across.

Washington, April THAT the
German drive in France, together
with the offer of Gen. Pershing to
place Americans troops at the dis
posal of the allies have had a tre-
mendous and far-reaching effect on
American war plans was made evil
dent today at the meeting of the war
council with members of the SEN
ate Military Committee.
These developments, it is under
stood, refer to a newly made decis-
ion to answer the appeal of the al
lies for men and to rush National
Army and National Guard troops to
tie front at once, disregarding for
the time being the shipping situa-
ton, so far as it relates to the trans
portation of food.
The ratio of food and munitions
ships to transport is to be reduced
materially, it is understood and with
the approval of French and English
authorities the sending of troops is
to be the most important function
of this government in the next few
weeks.
While, of course, no details are
available as to the number of troops
that are to be sent, or in regard to
the identity of the divisions which
are to go, it can be said that large
proportion of the 100000 troops
now in training in this country are
involved in the plans that have been
made.
Further, it is understood Secre-
tary of War Baker urged in mes
sages from abroad the necessity of
sending troops, and gave approval
to any plans to that end that might
be made in his absence.
The movement of troops that is to
come is also expected to alter mater
tally the plans for the drafting of
men for this year. 1t had been ar
ranged to call only 100000 men in
1918, but If the troop movements
are carried out as scheduled, it is
possible that this number may be in
creased by half or more.
