MILLION MEN IN
FRANCE BY JAN. |
Authorities Confident Huue
Army Will be in Field
First of Year.

WASHINGTON. May with
more than 100000 men now in
France. army ohcIais are more than
ever hopeful that powerful Amer
lean force will be cooperating with
the allies there BY the end Of the
year. Unhappy experience with
over-sanguine estimsscs OF what can
be accomplished make them slow to
put their hopes into Definite predic-
tons. however. and il was not pos
sible Thursday night 20 obtain spe-
cihc confirmation Of the report from
Paris that 1900. 600 fighting troops
before January 1 had been prom
ised.
The statement in Premier Glenn
enceau's newspaper mat such "A
promise had been made was not be-
Eeved by army officers ger orally to
mean that the American govern
ment should definitely pledge itself
20 deliver "A specific numbe OF men
within "A time limit Many factors
are involved in making such a cal
Culation months in advance
Sec'y Baker would make no
comment on the statement. Many
weeks ago he told the senate mill
tary committee. however. that the
government then had hopes Of get
ting 500 600 men 20 the front dur
ing the year. Since then his esti-
mate that 500, 900 men would reach
France early in the year has been
fulfilled. and since then also the
German drive has changed the
whole course OF events and brought
about a speeding up Of American
participation which has already
shown results.
The French article indicates that
under the program a total OF p
100000 troops would reach France
during the year, 1890 900 Of which
would be fighting units Whether
that result can ne obtained depends
on the shipping situation. The men
ard the essential equipment for
them can be ready.
Under the authority sought by
Pres't Wilson TO organize as large
an army as il IS found pos
sible TO train. equip and transport.
IL Is known that officials expect at
least 10000 men TO be under
arms during the next twelve months.
Many believe that even larger
force can be handled as II now ap-
pears quite probable that total Of
100000 during the year will be
nearer the figure.
See'y Baker explained today
his view as 10 what the new prac-
tice OF brigading American units
with French and British divisions
and the appointment Of Gen. Foch
as supreme commander might bring
about in the way Of producing mixed
army corps or divisions. II is en-
tirely possible. he said, that Ameri-
can divisions or higher commanders
will have command OF French or
British troops or both, under the
movements ordered by Gen. Foch.
Where a mixed division or corps
are constituted and American
troops predominate. Mr.. Baker re-
garded II as probabI that an Amer
ican will command if one Of ade-
quate rank and experience is avail
able.
