General March Says Troop Move
ments Are Five Months Ahead
of Schedule.
VESSELS VITAL FACTOR
Army Will Number 3,500,000 Men
Some Time In August and II Pres
ent Hopes are Realized 1,45o, 900
Yanks Will Then Be in France.

Washington, June 2S.-The Senate
military committee was told by Sec
retary Baker that within three months
an enlarged army project now being
worked out will be presented to con-
gress to represent the maximum fight
ing effort of the nation.
Already the calculation upon which
the pending army bill was framed
have been exceeded and the War de-
partment is now revising its plans
on an enlarged basis that means adj
ditional billions in money and addi-
tional millions of fighting men.
Mr.. Baker disclosed the new plans
in explaining his reasons for oppos-
ing any changes now in the draft
age limits. Later during general de-
bate in the Senate chambers, figures
were disclosed showing the great
strides being made toward bringing g
American fighting power to the front
in France.
1,450,oo0 to Go Across.
General March, chief of staff, al
ready has announced that the army
is five months ahead of schedule in
troop movements, 100000 men having
been shipped abroad. During the de-
bate, however. it was disclosed that
If present hopes are realized 1,450,000
men would have reached France some
time in August and that there would
be a total force under arms Of ap-
proximately 3,500,000., b.
Secretary Eaker and General March
were positive that the reservoir of
fighting man power would meet all
calls upon it under the best possible
conditions of mobilization and trans
portation, until Congress had an op-
portunity to take up age extensions
later with the data now being com-
piled by the War department at hand.
Will Be No Delay.
That there would be no delay in
increacing the army to the maximum
of the nations shipping, food, cloth
ing and other resources by postpon-
ing change in the draft ages was the
statement of Secretary Baker and
General March upon which opponents
of the Fall amendment laid stress, al.
though they declared Congress should
not now force upon the War depart
ment legislation not yet approved or
carefully considered, even by Con-
gress.
Sentiment generally was expressed
In the debate that revision of the
draft ages apparently must be resort
ed to in the near future and con.
sidered by Congress next fall at the
latest. General sentiment also was
against lowering the minimum age
below 20 years and for increasing Of
the maximum to at leact IS years.
The question of available shipping
to haul the men to France is the
vital factor. At present much British
and French tonnage is employed on
the work, as unusually good crops in
England have already made ships
available weeks longer than was ex-
pected.

This is the comment Of Archibald

1T is common knowledge that ow-

higher price for every ton Of ship

FUSE TO BE RELIEVED FROM
THE LINE OF FIGHTING.
PRISONERS ARE DEPRESSED
General Manein Has Made More Sc
cure His Hold on the Left Bark
Of the AiIette-Enemy Resist
ance Gradually Weakcns.

With the French Army.-Pitked
French divisions, which refused to be
relieved from the line, despite contin-
uous nine days fighting, keep forging
ahead between the Ailette and the
Aisne. They have reached the out.
skirts of Coucy-le Chateau, which is
two and one-half miles above their for.
mer line.
Tanks continue operating in close
conjunction with the infantry. A num-
Der Of the big machines which had re.
ceived direct hits few days ago, have
already been repaired and are back in
action.
Between the Ailette and the Aisne
the French made progress south of
Crecy-Au-Mont, taking 100 prisoners
Nine German airplanes were brought
Town or put out of action and cap
i've balloon was burned.
Foch is squeezing out enough elbow
-oom between Chauny and SoissonB to
snable him to maneuver directly east
ward from south of the Disc. This
must cause grave misgivings to Hin
ienburg.
The enemy's resistance is gradually
veakening before the relentlessness OF
me French attacks. The German gen.
erals are vainly attempting to pull out
what remains of their divisions, leav-
Ing rear guard infantry detachments
and machine gun crews to stay the
advancing Poilus.
But the French persist in maintain
fas contact with the enemy's main In
fantry forces. They refuse to permit
the foe to draw out his units and re-
organize them for future use.
Between the Disc and Aisne Gen.
Mangin has made more secure his hold
on the left bank of the Ailette from it's
confluence with the Oise to Point St.
Mard, west OF Coucy-le-Chateau. His
right wing continues to work eastward,
its object being to clear the region
north Of Soissons.
Further evidence has been gathered
that the victories OF the allies have af-
fected considerably the morale of the
German troops. The cause Of the de-
preston, which is quite general among
the prisoners taken recently, is the
conclusion that they have reached,
after comparisons. that the allies ar
tillery tactics are far superior to
theirs. They attribute their defeat to
the success of the French encircling
their strongest position and in we'll
directed and concentrated artillery
fire. Thus they have been unable to
hold even their best sheltered position.

Baltimore.-Senator Ollie M. James
Of Kentucky died at Johns Hopkins
Hospital here of an acute affection of
the kidneys. Mrs. James and the SEN
ator's brother, E. H. James, were with
him when the end came.
Senator James had been a patient at
the hospital for about three months.
Physicians at first believed that he
had good chance to regain his health
and an operation was performed. Later
his condition became more serious and
TRANSMISSION of blood was made on sew
eral occasions. The senator rallied re-
Gently when informed of his renomina-
ton to the senate and for time held
his own, but later his condition again
became grave and he steadily grew
weaker.
Ollie M. James perhaps was closer
to the rank and file of his party than
any other Democratic leader within
the past 20 years. He was first elected
to congress in 1904, at the age of 33,
and after eight years of service in that
body was promoted to the senate, de-
feating Senator Thomas H. Paynter
for denomination in the primary of
1911 and being elected by the legisla-
ture in November of the same year. He
took his seat March 4, 1918. and has
been one of the strongest of the Dem

Senator James was in his forty
eighth year, having been born in Crit
