NOHibou L iooo STALL cOrrtspOuucnLl
With tho American Army in France
Mar. 20.-For the first time in history
a secretary of war reviewed American
troops on foreign soil.
Secretary Baker, General Pershing
and the staff generals stood on the
brow of great plateau and saw the
regiments of the first division, fresh
from the trenches, march past.
''Tin-hatted laden with field equip
ment, the SaInmies swung by with a
new confidence and vigor. Men from
those ranks were the first to give their
lives in America s struggle against au-
tocracy. They withstood German raids,
gas attacks and hardships.
Their swing stride and confident
bearing indicated they felt, "well re-
viewing is all right, but our game is
more than parading now"
1t was new chapter in American
history. AS the eolors were passing the
reviewing stand. the sun burst momen-
tarily through the low hanging clouds,
lighting up a picture that will be sur
passed only by the review of Ameri-
cans as vietors.
Pershing, briefly addressing the Of
ficers, said he was proud of their show
ing in the trenches, which augured
we'll for the future. The reviewing
field was heavy with mud and motor
cars were unable to surmount the pla-
teau. Baker, Pershing and the others
trudged muddy, uphill mile.
The troops were drawn up, waiting.

1t is no longer felt necessary to hide
the facts, it is explained. On the sub
iect of losses the admiralty "disclaim
any desire to prophesy about so uneer-
tain a thing as war in its submarine
phase"
The result Of the last year, however,
show the ability of our seamen to get
on terms with the submarine menace
and gradually to gain the upper hand.
1t would be incorrect, however, to
assume, the admiralty warns, that los
ses by submarines will continue to de-
crease or that production of merchant
vessels will increase. 1t is emphasized
tlat the publication at this time of
the real facts regarding the U-bOat
threat is solely to Hensure the vigorous
cooperation of all concerned" in boom
ing building while Science is placing
vt our disposal means of offense and
defense of which we have been in
need
With both the American and English
production records for January sadly
hampered by bad weather and other fac
tors, tht British figures today AMI the
forthcoming Hurley statement sound an
underlying note of serious warning to
shipyard managers and workers. The
point where production balances losses

around. The British statement warns
frankly. And besides meeting the con
slant losses, the deficit Of tonnage for
the past must be made up.
Great Britain is about to introduce
more unsl1illed labor both male and fe
male to meet the need for constant ac-
ton.

part, " said the British statement, "if
men anywhere down tools or go slow
for any reason, they are pre-
judicing the vital interests Of the com

TROTSKY FAILED
BECAUSE LENINE
TIPPED HIS HAND
Planned to Launch Revolution
Among TeutOn Nations
to Save Russia
HIS UNIQUE APPEAL TO
GERMANS SUPPRESSED
Calls HertIing "A Jesuit and
Friend of Junkers" and a
HypOcrite

Washington, Mar. 2I.-The bold eff
fort of Leon Trotsky, former Bolshe-
vik eommissary for foreign affairs, to
launch in the Teuton nations a revo-
luton which would save the Russian
democracy, has just been unfolded in
all its dramatic details to the United
States government. 1t is the story Of
Trotsky' s trump card'' in world di-
acy--which failed because Nikolai
Lenine, his co-leader, Clipped off" his
hand
Trotsky staked his all on revolu-
tion in Germany. He refused to yield
to Lenine's eounse3 for q separate
plunder pact-abject surrender of Rus
sian rights-with the Teutons. He pro
longed the meetings at Brest Litovsk
as he laid the foundation for his last
play. Lenine let him work to the end
he sought.
But the German military authorities
were informed of the program On the
date set for the great effort-January
25-Lenine did not accompany Trotsky
to Brest-Litovsk. He awaited results
in Petrograd.
Trossky launched broadcast his ap-
peal to the German people. 1t was
checked in its prime by the military
authorities. 1t never saw the light
among the soldiers. 1t was suppressed
everywhere. But it found its way into
some parts of Germany and Austria.
Whether it was the cause or not, it is
significant that the riots and strikes
in Gnrmanv and Austria followed short
ly afterward.
Lenine Knew
But the military were in control,
Trotsky saw his efforts fail. There
was not the great response he expect
ed. He couldn It understand.
Lenine, however, understood. When
Trotsky returned to Petrograd admit
ting failure, Lenine's hand was
strengthened. His counsel was needed.

DUTCH SHIPS WILL

Total Is Million Tons and

the next ten months.
Considerably before that time, launch

Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the
British admiralty has announced that
the new shipping now being launched,
comes within 100000 tons monthly OF
replacing the total sinkings of mer-
chantmen. The million tons of Dutch
shipping that have just been rest rcd

Mar. 21.-The enemy is reported ad-
vancing at several points between the
Scarpe river and st. Quentin. Its in

front line at points north of Lampi-

Later, it was reported the Germans
were advancing on st, Quentin ridge,
on the edge of the Cambria salient,
and also through the Gauche wood, in
the same sector and through the brick

southeast of the point where the
Scarpe crosses the front. Lampicourt

city unfortunately has controversy
with the De La Vergne people, and
they will not supply any broken

making new parts for an engine like
this at home is not an easy thing to
