MORE TROOPS MUST
Be SENT TO FRANCE
ALLIED WAR COUNCIL STRESSES
GREAT NEED FOR IMMEDIATE
MOVEMENT OF RESERVES.
PLANS FOR NEEDED TONNAGE

Washington.-Thea allies have made
new calls on America for more men.
Despite the arrangements for a hast
ening of troop movements. undertaken
since the great drive began, pressing
clamors to go beyond that limit have
reached here.
England and France must have even
greater man power than America has
pledged, officials have been informed,
and though the program of brigading
Americans with the allies was a speed
up measure, it and the hurried in
crease in troop saiilngs will be insult
ficient
AS result the officials are racking
their brain to make an even heavier
shipment of men. More ships are be-
ing sought and 1t may be necessary to
cut into already short rat1ons for Eu-
rope to provide the space for soldiers.
Haig's blacks to the wall" statement
is an echo Of the call. With the Ger
mans pressing in in Flanders and
spread along the great Amiens front,
the reserve force of the allies must be
built up vastly at once, the appeals
suggest.
At the War Department it was given
out officially that new troops are un-
der way to increase the tonnage avail
able and thereby hurry the troops
across. And it was made clear that
more shipping will be obtained This
will come from unexpected quarters,
it was suggested.
The Versailles war council has the
whole troop problem under considera-
ton, it is known. The general staff,
the shipping board and the navy are
being called in on the play

Washington. = Senator William J.
Stone of Missouri, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee and

stroke of paralysis suffered while on
street car on his way to the senate

A successor to Senator Stone to hold
office until the next general election
in November will be appointed by Gov.
Gardner Of Missouri, who is a Demo
crat.
Senator William j. Stone was in pub
lie life As years. and during that long
period probably engaged in as many
political contests as any man of his
time. ranging all the way from contro-
versies over county offices to the
broadcast national issues.
Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska,
ranking Democrat of the foreign rela-
tons committee, is expected to sue
coed to the craftsmanship.
A Kentuckian by nativity. born May
Z, 1S4S, Senator Stone removed to
Missouri, where he graduated from the
Missouri university and was admitted
to the bar in 1869. He Immediately

ical affairs, and in 1873 was prescott
ing attorney of Vernon county.
He came to congress as a represent

PROOF OF EARLIER THRIFT

and illustrated his remarks by show

opportunity to save through the medi-

''See." he said, holding up a card on

The governors suggestion made a
deep impression upon some of the chill

One Of the most attractive booklets
issued recently Is the year book put
out by Swift & Company, covering the
activities of the big packing concern
during the year 1917. Serving as an
Introduction is the address of the vice
president, E. F. Swift, to the stock
holders, in which he tells of the abnor-
mally high prices paid for live stock
In Chicago and of the prices obtained
Tor meat; of the investigation by the
federal trade commission, and the IL
censing by the government of food dis
tributing agencies and the limiting of
proflts on Strengthening and meat pack
ing to 9 per cent on money employed.
Mr.. Swift also told with pride of the
$500 employees who had entered the
various branches of the United States
service. and concluded with the state
ment that Swift & Company would do
their utmost to help win the war.
An interesting and illuminative Sec
ton of the booklet Is that devoted to
statistics of live stock prices and pro-
duction, and another is given up to
telling "the packers service to pro-
Queer and consumer" Figures are
given showing that the net profit of
the company per head. 1912 to 1915.
averaged $1.22 for cattle, less than ID
cents for sheep and less than So cents
for hogs. 1t is explained that the large
aggregate profits are due to the i'm
mense volume of business done.
The booklet is handsomely illus
trated with photographs and color
prints and the cover illustration, made
from a photograph of a corn farm In
Ohio, Is especially attractive.

renewed German assaults. Meanwhile
officers here discussed the probable
motives Of Field Marshal Haig in is
suing the call to his forces to fight to
the last man.
The meaning and purpose of the or.
der were variously construed. Some
officers hailed it as forecasting the
counter offensive by the united allied
armies. Others were disquieted.
The War Department was without
information that would throw much
light on the battle situation. Officers
who have followed the progress of the
fight from hour to hour in press bulle-
tins, however, were very optimistic.
They saw no reason to doubt that re-

also noted with satisfaction General
Haig's announcement that French re-
Inducements were coming up.
In the view of some officers, the
German front as 1t now stands places
the Germans in jeopardy at two points.
The wide salient driven toward Ami.
ems appears to them susceptible of a
flank assault by the French from the
southern and southwest, while in
Flanders the narrow salient driven
into the British lines leaves the Teu-

BOOBIES PREPARING
FOR VAST SEA RAID
GREAT ACTIVITY REPORTED At
TEUTON NAVAL BASES lNDl-
GATES EARLY OFFENSIVE.
U. S. WILL ACT WITH BRITISH

MISUNDERSTANDING is preparing
for vast sea raid, experimenting her
west front drive. While not verified
the reports were that unwonted activ.
ity is evident at Teuton naval bases
and that all movements tend to show
preparations for an offensive ahead of
any allied smash -
Navy advices, similar in many re-
spects to press messages out Of Berne,
may be German-inspired with a view
to disturbing American-allied morale.
But whether they are only German
propaganda or not, they were regard
ed sufficiently plausible by navy au-
thorities to take seriously and to pre-
pare against such a drive. America
has many craft abroad, including bat
tleships, submarines and destroyers,
which will be one with the British
navy in awaiting the Germans.
Many navy men have favored an ag-
gressive American-allied policy on the
seas, but in the last two or three days
they have turned to the view that the
sea war may be brought home to the
British-American fleets in raiding &C.
tivities. The best season for a Ger.
man raiding operation of large proper
tions has passed with the opening of
spring, but the Teuton may be plan
ming a desperate gamble in line with
his policy of casting all into the bal
ance now.
Recalling the advertising Germany
gave to the west front offensive, the
Navy Department is not falling into
the error of casting entire doubt on
the reports gathered by agents
abroad 1t was recalled that army men
began to doubt that a real west front
offensive was planned by Germany.
In any event, the allied-American
fleet situation is regarded as capable
of coping with any Teuton offensive,
though the German plan of attack
would probably depend upon picking
off an isolated unit here and there.
Germany has put the Russian navy
out Of commission, but may
have obtained the few able cruisers
the Slavs had.
II the Berne press reports and the
navy information constitute a German
plan to distress England, France and
The United States, the effort will fail,
to all indications.
