PLANS 3-YEAR WAR
GOVERNMENT FIGURES ON LONG
STRUGGLE WITH HUNS.
Schedules GoethaIs VIII Submit at
Conference Will Extend Ship
building Through 1920.

Washington. April 24.--The govern
ment is figuring on at least three
more years of war
This Is made plain by the programs
that are to be laid out at session
Of the shipping board and other agen-
cies concerned with the dispatch OF
soldiers and supplies to Europe
General Goethals. who has charge
of traffic and transportation for the
army, has made out for submission
to the conference his schedule of troop
shipments for the years 1919 and 1920.
The programs for this year are. OF
course, already in process of being car
ried out
This involves the extension of the
shlpbuilding which was to produce
100000 tons of ships by the end OF
1919, TO run through 1920, SO directly
we may expect to see Chairman Hur-
iey up at the capitol asking for an
other billion dollars or so for steam
ers to be constructed In addition TO
the vast schedule already under way
AS Secretary Baker announced that
we purposed to have a million and a
half men in Europe by the end of the
current year, the troop shipment
plans give at least a shadOwy idea
Of the aggregate of the forces we in
tend sending.

U. S. WILL SEND GREAT ARMY
Shipping Board Pledges Secretary
Baker That Tonnage Will Be Ready
for Troops.

Washington, April 26.-Secretary Of
War Baker told the senate committee
on military affairs on Wednesday that
the strength of our overseas fighting
force would depend upon the tonnage
that could be supplied by the shipping
board.
The shipping board at the most i'm
portant conference In the history OF
the organization, prepared an answer
for Secretary Baker.
1t Is that the shipping board will be
able to supply ships for the transport
and maintenance overseas of all the
American troops now available for
fighting duty.
This program. If carried out, will
mean over million fighting Ameri-
cans in France this summer and should
win the war for the allies.
The assurance given General Goeth-
ais about the overseas transport of
troops and supplies would be sur
prise to this country. if publication
in detail were permissible.

Shooting Takes Place In Courtroom at

Exits-case Given to

San Francisco, April 25.-Ram
Chandra. Hindu publicist and revolu-
ZIONIST, was shot dead here on Tues
day In the United States district court,
where he was on trial. by Ram Singh,
a former employee and fellow defend
ant.
While Singh still pulled the trigger
of his automatic pistol he was shot
dead in turn by United States Mar
shall james b. HolOhan, who nred
from across the courtroom and over
the heads of lawyers at their tables
Belief that Ram Chaudra had d.
verted to his own use proceeds from
property which Ram Singh had turned
over to be used for aiding revolution
airy measures is said by federal OH
clals TO have prompted the shooting.
Both men, with 80 others, were on
trial on charge of conspiring to TO
ment revolution In India. The case
went to the jury last night.
Ram Singh chose for his vengeance
the closing hours of a trial which
started November 20 last and has
seethed with excitement and animos-
Sly among the defendants ever since
10 such an extent that all were search
ed for weapons daily when entering
court.
Soldiers who have been on duty in
court since the trial opened preserved
order.
Investigations we're started along
many lines, including the possibility
that other defendants knew in all
vance that the shooting was to occur

URGES AID in LOAN
SECRETARY BAKER IN SPEECH
SAYS ARMY WILL DO SHARE.
I'VE Will Do Our Part; You Do
Yours" Is Message From
U. S. Soldiers.

Washington. April 23.-"We viii dc
our part; you do yours" Is the mes
sage from the American army in
France to the American people that
Secretary Baker delivered here on
Saturday at a Liberty Loan rally in
his first public address since his re-
tura from Europe.
I'VE are fighting an adversary" Mr.
Baker declared, who has elected to
make force the center of his political
philosophy and belief--pure, naked
force.
1T is not the doctrine upon which a
permanent and beautiful civilization
can be bull. but we accept that chal-
lenge as it has been made. There is
no answer except cold. relentless, ade-
quate force"
A tremendous crowd that packed
Liberty Hut, the great Y. NJ. G. A.
building to its capacity roared with
applause as the war secretary reiter-
ated the purpose of America and the
allies. q
when force is divorced from NOR
atty" he continued. there is some
thing in morality that engenders the
force to overcome it.
There is no doubt as TO the out
come"
Turning to the German drive Mr.
Baker said the people watched the
bulletins from day to day and hour to
hour, always with the question In
their hearts, "Will the line hold?"
The end of that war will not come
when a line is broken. This war can
not end until peoples heart is
broken. and those who have looked
into the faces of the people of Eng
land, of France or of Italy, who have
looked into the faces of those refugees
leaving territory to be occupied
know that mere force can never
break that heart"
Again the great crowd roared its
appreciation.

German Minister at The Hague
Also on Way Home,
Says Paper.
SITUATION is VERY SERIOUS
Officials Fail to Give Authentic Details
of Alleged Teuton Demands
Sand and Gravel Question
Up Again.

Amsterdam, April 26.-The HetvolS,
announced on Wednesday that the
German minister to the Netherlands
has left The Hague for Berlin and
thar the Dutch minister to Germany
is on his way from Berlin TO The
Hague
London, April Relations be-
tween Germany and Holland are still
discussed IN special dispatches from
Holland with the suggestion that the
situation is extremely serious, but no
one is able to give authentic details
of the alleged German demands.
The sand and gravel question takes
a prominent place in all the reports,
but some of the correspondents write
of several others.
The correspondent of the Times at
The Hague mentions among other
things the reported demand that Hol-
land guarantee to Germany a supply
of raw materials Immediately after
the war, while certain quantity OF
Dutch tonnage is demanded for the
same period.
1t is further suggested, the Times
adds, that the Germans expect TO be
able TO force Holland to accept such
conditions as would virtually compel
the entente allies to formally occupy
the Dutch colonies, which would
throw Holland completely into Ger
man hands.
There are no special indications of
nervousness noticeable in The Hague,
and the correspondent of the Times
says that reports such as the forego-
ing emanate solely from German
