AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE FAST
BECOMING FACTOR OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE
100000 MEN ARE DRAFTED.
Movement OF Troops Across the Allan
tic During Latter Part Of April
Wat at Rate Five Times Greater
Than Last Winter.

Washington, May 9.-The reports
that the American Army In France
was fast becoming factor OF great
importance In the war was confirmed
by Secretary Of War Baker.
In a statement Mr.. Baker said that
the forecast he made In January that
there was strong likelihood that early
in the present year 100000 American
troops would be dispatched to France
had been surpassed.
Mr.. Baker dictated the following
statement:
I'm January 1 told the Senate COM
mittee that there was strong like
lihood that early in the present year
10000 American troops would be des-
patched to. France. l cannot either
now or perhaps later discuss the num-
Der of American troops in France, but
1 am glad to be able to say that the
forecast l made in January has been
surpassed ~ q
il. 100000 Drafted.
To date 1921 900 Americans have
been called to the colors under the
selective service act. Provost Mar
shall General Crowder today gave this
figure as the approximate strength of
the .conscripted forces. -
AS a result of a personal investf-
cation of machine gun production
during the past few days, Secretary
Baker announced that there was no
present shortage of light or heavy
types of these weapons either in
France or America and no shortage
is In prospect.
Mr.. Baker said there had been no
question brought up as to the supplies
of light type Browning guns, which
were coming forward in quantities.
He would not say whether shipment
of these guns to France had been
started.
Heavy 8rownings Delayed.
AS to the heavy Brownings he said:
Every manufacturers estimates as
to the production Of the heavy type
perhaps were more optimistic than
was justified. The estimate of the
ordnance department in January has
been met and is being met. Some
of these guns have been produced and
there, is every indication Of forth
coming production in increasing and
substantial numbers"
While it cannot be stated what the
exact number of American troops is
abroad at this time the following fig
ures as to the total force both in
this country and France were OBJ
tanned today from authoritative sourc-
es.
Total number of troops under arms
May 1, 100000; number under arms
when May mobilization is completed,
2,250,000; total number of drafted
men in the service, 1,227,000.
Troop Movements Gigantic.
Troop movements to France in the
last few weeks under the spur of
events connected with the German Of
fensive in Flanders and Picardy have
exceeded in volume the most exagger-
ated hopes possessed by military men
six month ago.
The movement across the Atlantic
during the latter part of April was
at rate five times greater than the
maximum efforts of the late winter.
Every week has seen the stream Of
fighters widen. 81
At the present rate it is believed
by military men that nearly a million
men will be in France by July.

Southeast Of Ypres, from the re-

the Germans have launched an at

with some success by penetrating

however, over the greater part Of
the field OF combat they met with

MOTHERS DAY-MAY IL
lBy Adela Stevens Cody]
The Knights Of American Manhood
And the CLEAN Of the white carnat1on
Shines fair through the blooms of
May.
The orchid and rose are discarded
Ay, and even the sweet violet!
For to-day sees the white carnation
In the crown of motherhood set.
All, blest is the land whose mothers
Have borne sons who such homage
pay,
To her virtue on Mothers Day!
Who wear her flower-and better,
Live true to the dreams she had
Of the future which held as hero
Her own little clear-eyed lad
And even if time smote roughly
Those dreams, so enchantingly bright
Who find scattered still 'mong their
Some jewels of heavenly light.
Some wealth which they owe to Moth
That the world has never. guessed,
Whose sign is the white carnation
That lies on each loyal breast
Records compiled show Minnesota as
the winner in class B, in the annual
competition for the sale Of Red Cross

Minnesota can answer all charges of
disloyalty and point with pride to the
record established by the Minnesota Re
cruiting district during the month Of
April, says Major j. D. Yost, recruiting
officer for the district. In the thirty
day period 1103 men were accepted for
service in various branches of the
army. To last month, February was the
banner month with record of 900 ac-
cepted recruits for the army. Major
Yost does not propose however, to let
the district rest on it's laurels, and is
planning to make the recruit drive this
month more strenuous than ever. He
will not he content, according to his
statement, until the Minnesota district
establishes itself at the head Of the IS
recruiting districts in the country and
maintains that position. The April rec
ord will come close to putting it there.
The goal for May has been set at 1850
