Baker Hints At Preparation for
 Army of 5,000,0 American
Foch to Have 100000 Yankees Before 1918 Fighting Season Is Over-War Department to Accelerate
 Movement of Men to France.

braces large army appropriations, notifications of the draft ages and plans for larger mobilization of the army than any yet undertaken would soon be ready for congress.
 He would give no details but the plans probably aim at getting under arms without delay a total force not far short of the 5,000,000 figure widely discussed in congress when the subject was last under consideration here.
 The fighting in the Aisne salient, where the whole German offensive scheme has been upset if not definite ly defeated by the bold strategy of cen. Foch, has opened new possibili- ties. Reports today indicated fully ane-half of all ground won bv the Germans in the Aisne salient already has been torn from the enemv's grasp and the French. British and American troops were still pressing on at last accounts.
 MT. Baker said today the last re- ports from General Pershing were satisfactory. It was clear, however, that the minds of officials here are engrossed in preparations for offen- tive battles on an even greater scass.

Washington, July 23.-With prob- ably not more than quarter million American troops engaged in the pres ent battle, but with virtually million others either in France or hastening across the ocean. General Foch has been able to turn the tables on the enemy and strike blow that has changed the whole trend of the war.
 Officials here while fully recogniz- ing that the American are today only a comparatively small part of the vast forces the supreme commander is us- ing in working out his strategic de- signs. realize that the American army is going forward in a constantly in- creasing stream is the governing fac tor in restoring the initiative to the allied forces.
 Plans are therefore taking shape rapidlv at the war department to ac- celerate and enlarge the American military program. It is now virtually certain, General Foch will have at least 100000 American troops to supplement his. allied armies before the present fighting season closes.

STOP DELIVERY AND PAYMENT ON FAULTY RA|NC0A1S Army Officers Find Re- jected Coats Struggled in
 Accepted Bundles. CHAPTERS CHANGED
 INSPECTION PLACE Urged Action, They Said to Hasten Delivery of Contracts, hut
 Was Part of
 Conspiracy.

New York, July 23-Officers of the army quartermaster's department tonight notified concerns named by the department of justice in it's ex- pose of an alleged nationwide con- spiracy of bribery and graft in the manufacture of soldiers raincoats, that no more deliveries wiuld be ac- cepted until further notice and that payment would be suspended on large quantities of goods already deliver ed.
 This action was taken by Captain F. c. Weightman, U. s. R., in charge of raincoat inspection, and Major Thomas McGrath, in charge of the in- spection of all war materials in this district.
 It followed the arrest yesterday of IF raincoat men and the discovery of thousands of defective raincoats ready for shipment to France at the quartermaster's depot here.
 Grafters Changed Inspection Plans.
 According to the investigation WOfklnS unOef ASSlSLanC ACLOfHey General Thompson, these defective coats include many bearing rejection marks and others which have not been inspected. These defective coats, it was said, were mixed with other coats in bundles packed by the manu- factures.
 Investigators intimated that more rejected or uninspected coats had been slipped thru since the place of in- spection was shifted a few months ago from the quartermaster's depot to the factories. This change had been made, it was said, at the request of the manufacturers, who claimed that prompt performance of their con- tracts required earlier payments than could be had if insuection was not made until final deliveries.
 Lazarus Not On Defense Council.
 In connection with the arrest to- day of Harry E. Lazarus, wealthy clothing manufacturer. charged with attempting to bribe a government in' spector, Mr. Thompson explained that while "co-operating" with the Council of National Defense Lazarus was not actually member of its sub-ccmmit- tee supervising raincoat production.

London, July 23.-Acocrding to re- ports from Vienna published in Berlin it is probable that Emperor Charles will ask Count Czernin, the former Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, to form a new Austrian cabinet, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam. The conservative pres of Berlin is urging the German government to give Austria hint that for her to make Count Czernin premier would not be acceptable to Geramny in view of the Counts last speech in which, they point out, he insiinuated that Germany's war aims were no longer of a defensive char acter.
 Amsterdam, July 23.-1n accepting the resignation of the von Seydler cabinet Emperor Charles said accord ing tc. dispatches received here, he took such action because the premier had pointed out that he could no longer command a majority in the lower house. The emperor added, how ever, that the difficulties were en- tirely personal as between the prem fer and a political party which had not assumed an attitude of opposition to the state but on the contrary would support another government pursuing the same general policy.

Associated Press Summary.)

Associated Press Summary)
 The entente allied troops on the Soissons-Rheim salient continue to gain ground both on the western side of the battle front. and on the south along the Marne towards Rheims, notwithstanding the increas. ing resistance of the Germans and the bad weather that is prevailing on the southern end of the line.
 While the latest gains recorded are not as great on the whole as those
 of previous days they nevertheless have added positions of strategic val ue to the allied line for the further prosecution of the efforts to clear the territory of the enemy.
 Take More Prisoners.
 In the lighting more prisoners, and war stores have fallen into the hands of the American, French and British troops.
 As a diversion the French to the northwest midway between Soissons and Amiens have delivered a blow against the German lines which has been productive of excellent -resUlts. Strikwing on a front of about four miles General ,Foch's troops pene- trated the enemy lines for a distance of about two miles and gained the heights dominating the valley of the Avre river and the plains beyond. Fifteen hundred Germans were cap- tured by the French. The official communication issued by the French war office refers to this fighting as local operation.
 South of SOissons the drive of the FrancO-American forces toward Fere- en-Tardenois has pushed further back the Germans on both sides of the Ourcq river.
 Cut New Supply Line.
 South of the river. notwithstanding fierce resistance, the allied forces reached the railroad line between Ar southward to Chateau Thierry and pressed on beyond it. This advance brings the French and American troops relatively to within seven miles of Fere-en-Tardenois and also gives them dominating position 4Bf big gun play over the eastern section of the railway line running from Ar mentierres to Fere-en-Tardenois.
 On the northern bank of the Marno to the east of Chateau Thierry the town of Jaulgonne, from which the Americans retreated during the Ger man offensive, has been captured and left in the rear by the advancing troops. East of Jaulgonne the French likewise have advanced their line on the north bank of the Marne and clung to their newly won positions h6twith- standing the violence of the German counter moves and the statement of the German war office that they were driven out.
 Advance Mile South of Rheims.
 Likewise south of Rheims where the British are fighting with the French, strong enemy positions have been captured and the allied line ad- vanced nearly mile.
 The reinforced German front here stubbornly contested the advance but the British and French gained the ad- vantage and in addition to inflicting heavy casualties, took prisoners and five guns. The British also cap- tured 300 Germans.
 The counter attacks of the Germans continue to be delivered with great violence and with heavy gun and ma chine gun fire behind them. Where they are forced to give ground the Germans ars leaving numerous ma chine gun nests open to harass thor

 This announcement is made in the official communication issued by the war office tonight.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1918-07-24

London, July 23.-The French are attack near iMontdidier today was a we'll executed and successful minor operation and, according to dispatch es received this afternoon from the battle front was presumably designed as diversion aiming at keeping the enemy's mind occupied and prevent him from sending large reinforce ments to the sou Inward.
 It also affected an important local improvement in the line at a sector where every advance means better protection for Amiens and Paris. The French attacked on a four-mile front after an hours bombardment of the villages of Salvillers, Aubvillers and Mailly-Raineval, within 15 minutes.
 About 1000 more prisoners have been counted by the entente allies in the last 24 hours. Of this num- Der about half have been credited to the Americans and British, but as matter of fact the allies are far too busy to devote much time to the count ing of prisoners.
 Fighting of the fiercest character continues and the present to and fro struggling all along the Soissons- Rheims mbp is very close, strenuous work and probably not so many pris- oners are being taken as would be tho cast in direct advance or a retreat action.
 There has been little change in the last "A hours in the appearance of the Soissons- Rheims pocket as it appears on the map. What changes have been made are all to the advantage of the allies. The French and Amer jeans have gained further ground at the bottom of the pocket. The French, also, are pressing hard on the long line south of Soissons ana the map shows advances of 1000 yards or so at several points.
