SECRETARY BAKER
 WILL NOT TALK OF
 TROOPS IN FRANCE
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-While de- clining to comment directly upon the statement attributed to President Will son that there will be twice as many American soldiers abroad next June as had been originally planned, Secre- tary Baker said today:
 The program of the department has been a constantly developing one, and been removed or overcome. I cannot discuss numbers of men in France or anticipated to be in France at any par ticular time, but we have made sub stantial progress
 When General Pershing sent his first battalions into the trenches with vet eran French troops. formal announce ment of the fact was made here, coupled with the explanation that these units were rounding out their training course. A similar announcement, eith- CT directly from General Pershing or from the department is expected when American troops finally take over whatever sector of the battle lines they are destined to fight in.
 Recent press dispatches from Gen eral Pershing's headquarters have shown that a considerable part of his force, at any rate, was regarded as fully trained. The war department has had little to say ofl this subject. There have been no hints dropped as to when the American front would be estab- lished. but the impression is gaining strength here that the day is not far distant.

 GENERAL SHAKE-UP
Republican A. p. Leased Wjr.1

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-An upheaval in the New York police department, the most sensational in years, was caused by Mayor John F. Hylan to- day when he demanded the resigna- tion as commissioner of Frederick H. Bugher whom he appointed to the of flee on January 1. Mir. Bugher promptly complied with the demand
 Mayor Hylan appointed a uni formed man as acting commissioner, selecting for the post Lieutenant Richard E. Enright
 Enright, for many years head of the Police Lieutenant's Benevolent association, has led a picturesque career on the force. He is 46 years old and was appointed a patrolman in 1896. He is reported to be af- filiated with Tammany Hall.
 The ostensible reasons for the re- moval of Bugher was his failure to suspend members of the motorcycle equad on charges of levying tribute on motorists accused of violating traffic regulations.
 Bugher declared that he was about to place these men on trial and that the real reason for his dismissal was his refusal to submit to dictation by the mayor in the matter of appoint ments, and his determination to keep politics out of the department

GOVERNMENT NAY ADVERTISE B00zE
 IN ''DRY' STATES
Republican A. p. Leased wIreI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Solicitor Lamar of the postoffice department, ia an opinion submitted to Postmaster General Burleson today holds that the federal statute excluding from the mails going into dry territory pub lications carrying advertisements of in- toxicating liquors does not apply to advertisements for the sale of liquors inserted by the government.
 The question arose in connection with an advertisement offered to pa pers announcing a public auction sale of liquors seized for violation of the internal revenue law.
 Solicitor Lamar cites the doctrine, supported by many decisions, that the state or the public is not to be con- sidered as with the purview of a stat ute unless expressly named or included by necessary implication or unless the statute is made flor the public good, the advancement of religion and jus tice, and prevention of injury aud wrong"
 Mir Lamar holds that the statute, while intended as a measure in the in terest of the public cannot be con- strued as expressing the thought and will of the people of the United States as a whole that the liquor traffic is immoral or against the interests of the entire public. The law, he says, is obviously a measure merely to sup plement the enforcement of whatever happens to be the policies of the diff ferent states.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirsl

With the reported amelloratlon Tn the political unrest in Austria Hungary and a continuation of silence as regards the internal situation in Germany, the notable feature in the world war is the apparent resumption on a somewhat large scale of the military operations on the western front in France and Belgium.
 From the North Sea to the Swiss frontier the lessening in the rigors of winter has permitted the belligerentS to send forth their men in enterprises which seemingly forecast the intention shortly to resume fighting activity more extensively.
 On their extreme right in northern Belgium the Germans have carried out an important raid" and gained foot ing in French advanced trenches east of Nieuport, while along nearly all of the front in Flanders the artilleries have increased the volume of their fire.
 To the south, around Lens, Arras and St Quentin, the fighting daily is grow ing in strength, while eastward along the Chemin des Danes, past Vcrdun and thence to the Swiss border, the French and Germans are continuously engaged.
 On the front in Italy the change in the high command evidently has not resulted as yet in any betterment of the strategic positions of the Austro- German armies. From the Asiago pla- teau eastward to the Piave river and thence southward to the Adriatic sea the Italians again have been victor | ious in numerous minor operations. The greater portion of the striking | workmen in Austria are said to have returned to work, but the situation both | in Austria and Hungary is declared still to be acute owing to the desire of | the people for peace. In Germany some trepidation is being evinced by newspapers of panGerman leanings over the situation in Austria.
 The socialist newspaper Vorwaerts of Berlin again has been suppressed this time for announcing the solidarity of the German proletoriat with Aus trian labor in the peace struggle.
 British labor in conference has agair upheld the war aims set forth by Pres ident Wilson and Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and re-asserted that i. Germany will not accept them British labor must fight. op'
