OUR RIGHT ARM IN FRANCE.
Balance Of Body in America-Sup-
port the Strong Arm.

Washington, April 17.-President
Wilson and his war cabinet heard
from Secretary Baker to-day that the
American soldier has made good in
France aud that the men OF the eX-
peditionary forces are well physically
and in high spirits. Although he re-
ported his arrival by telephone last
night, the war secretary saw the
President for the first time since his
return from Europe when they met
at the cabinet table. He did not at
tempt to give a full report on what
he saw and beard abroad.
Later Mr.. Baker said that even
casual observation made 1t evident
that tremendous progress had been
made on the war program since he
sailed for France.
''The American soldier has made
good in France" Secretary Baker to-
day assured newspaper men who met
him at the War Department. "rhe
French and British authorities are
uniform in their praise of the cour-
age, endurance and soldierly quail
ties Of our men.
Need of Support.
''rhe big thing for America to do
is to support the war, support it
financially and with firm belief. The
right arm of America is in France.
II is barred and ready to strike. The
rest Of the body Is here In the Uni
ted States and it must support the
arm. This support should include
subscriptions to Liberty loans as well
as moral support or high confidence"
The condition of American troops,
the secretary said. is excellent. They
all are well physically and "well in
every other way"
Their spirits are high, their be-
havior admirable and their relations
with the French and British cordial
and sympathetic, he said.
'One rarely meets an American
soldier in France who does not smile |
and wave his hat" Mr.. Baker said !
1.-The only sad Americans there are

1.-The information went to get, I
got Mr. Baker said. His trip, he
said, would bring closer and more
understanding cooperation between
the War Department and the army.
AS for the secretary himself, he feels
that he is nov equipped with the
means Of Judging and appreciating
the kind Of cooperation needed"
Spirit Of People.
"'The American, British, French
and Italian armies are filled with
this tremendous spirit, and the civil

say that the general sentiment is one
OF inspired determination.

secretary Baker said he had been
interested to note the extraordinary
extent to which American newspa-
pers carry the war news. European
papers, he said, were immeasurably
behind those in this country in that
respect.
Mr.. Baker declined to discuss the
drive on the West front Fe said the
situation had been aptly covered by
Premier Lloyd George when he stat
ed that alternate periods of cheer
fulness and anxiety must be endured
for some time to come.

GUARD ROYAL CASTLE

With the American Army of Occupa- tion, Monday, December 16.--(By the As- sociated Press. 1.-The royal castle in Cob lenz. known as one of the former Elm
 peror's summer palaces, is now under guard by American troops. The palace
 stands on the banks of the Rhine, a
 stones throw from the business center
 of Cobenz.
 The palace is surrounded by royal gardens and contains many articles of
 historis interest in addition to silverware and other belongings of William I. who once occupied the building
 Since the arrival of the Americans there have been several attempts to re- move some of the valuables in the palace. Therefore it was decided that the guard should be placed around the house as a precaution against the furniture and other things inside being disturbed. The palace was built by Prince Glenn ems Wenzeslau. The building was started in the year 177S and was finished eight years later. It was remodeled in 1S45. During the occupation of Coblenz by the French the palace was used as hospital and later the Germans used it as a bar racks During the present war the pal ace was not disturbed by the German
 army, although at various times move
 ments were on foot to turn it into a
 hospital.
 The royal barracks within the palace gardens is occupied by American troops.
 but thus far the Americans have not en-
 tered the palace itself

 There was much debate over the question of holding an international conference and it was finally decided that the congress shall. as soon as peace is declared, instruct it's Euro pean delegation to take necessary and effective steps in cooperation with the representatives of Jewish bodies in other countries for the eonvening of world Jewish congress.
 The congress also resolved to de- mand through the American peace del- egates that the peace conference sur round the future of the Jews in Ru- mania with such protective measures and adequate guarantees that their rights be hereafter made as secure as possible and that all direct and inn piled" anti-Jewish restrictions be re- moved.
 American and European agencies dealing with relief and reconstruction work in Europe were requested to also carry on such work among the Jews in Rumania and that the members of that race be indemnified in the same manner and extent as other inhabitants for damage resulting from the war.

Cologne, Monday, December h.-(By
 the Associated Press.-F'ield Marshal
 Haig came to Cologne this morning to make his initial tour of inspection of the territory occupied by the British
 along the Rhine. Immediately on his ar rival the British commander in chief pro- ceeded to the famous Hohenzollern bridge for a meeting with more than a
 score of war correspondents representing
 all the great newspapers of the allied
 and neutral countries.
 The occasion was in the nature of a farewell to the writers, who have been accredited to British general headquar- ters and who finished their labors when the British completed their occupation of the territory assigned to them under the armistice,

YANKs INTEND CHURCH.

On this first Sunday the results of this
 policy were shown. While the people Of
 Coblenz are still somewhat resentful in
 their attitude the residents of the small
 CT towns evinced none of this hostility
 Dressed in their Sunday clothes the Ger mans attended church services and ap peared sufprised to find among the con gregations in some of the places lew of the enlisted men.
 In the afternoon the children in the villages made love frankly to any of the
 soldiers who would permit it, clambered over the trucks and demanded their turn to snuggle into the seats on the guns in the artillery parks. AS they were unreproved by their parents, who smiled their tolerance, the older among the men and women not only made no ob- jection to billetings, as did many in Cob lenz and Treves, but frequently showed a desire to make the men feel at home Wherever bands were in action the peo- pie crowded the street corners to listen to the music. instead of hurrying to theit homes a situation that did not exist when the invasion of German territory was begun two weeks ago.
