cording to his auditors that the Ger

numerically superior both on the
ground and in the air but that the
allies are in q better position. While
confident that the German offensive
will be halted before the enemy has
gained any material detectives. Gen
crul Wood suggested that the offensive
may change the warfare into Il more
open contest. For that reason he roc
commended the training Of American
forces for open war fare us well as for
trench fighting.
The general was before the Military
Committee for three hours. Stating
that the French are disappointed IN
the size Of the American army thus
far sent to Europe according to com
mitlee members he recommended i'm

they are too busy elsewhere. At times
he said, the Germans flew so low that
the Americans were able to fire at them
with revolverS.
"The general lad some criticisms
to make and many IDEAS" said Sena

American industrial program should
be pnshed,and not slackened in the
least. He thought also that more raw
materials might he sent abroad to be
manufactured in France"
The Liberty motor, General Wood
said, according to Senator Chamberlain
should be used mostly in bombing ma
chimes.
Gle thought the foreign motors hav
ing been tried and proven, Should be
used in the combat planes" said Sen

GENERAL WOOD BELIEVES
DRIVE WILL BE SHORT-LlVED

Commenting on the German oIen---
sivc. General Wood according to mem
bers OF the committee, said that al
though the initial success Of the Ger
mans probably had been greater than
expected either by the allies or the
enemy Judged by the number OF Brit
ish reported captured he and allied
officers believed the drive will be short
lived.
Explaining the viewpoint Of the
allied officers, he said the Germans
soon will reach more difficult ground
to traverse, while the British and
French retire to superior prepared
positions at which the Germans often
sivc will be stopped.
Bombardment OF Paris by long-range
German artillery, General Wood told
the Senator's is not serious military
factor, and will have no effect upon
the morale OF the French people.
Men, ships and artillery in the order
named, the general stated, are the
principal needs Of the allies from
America.
Training of the American forces,
the general SAID, has been rapidly ac
complished and supplies are plcnti-
full.
