In Resolution Unanimously
Adopted by Senate Mil
itary Committee
MOBILIZATION LEFT
TO THE PRESIDENT
Resolution Will Be Present.
ed to Senate Next
Monday

Washington, d. c., May 24.-The Sen
ate military committee to-day unani
mously went on record in favor Of large
expansion of the American army. 1t or.
dered a favorable report on a resolution
by Senator Reed of Missouri, declaring
for an increase of 100000 men.
BY the resolution, the president is au-
thorized at such time as he may deter
mine, TO raise and begin the training Of
an additional force of 100000 men who
are "to be called for training at such
times and In such numbers as the presi-
dent may determine"
Senator Reed announced he would
probably report the resolution to the
Senate next Monday and endeavor to
have it considered at an early date.
In taking this action the Senate com
mittee went on record for further in
crease in the size of the armed forces,
but also of fixing definitely the amount
of the increase.
The House military committee already
has added to the army bill an amend
ment providing the giving of unlimited
TO the president to raise an
army of whatever size is needed.

indicate that between 2,500000 and
100000 German troops had been re
leased from the eastern front and were
being employed in the west. Army off
GERS here do not believe Germany received
any such advantage from the Russian
collapse. II has never been reported
they say, that the German fighting units
in the east totalled any such figure
1t was regarded as probable that Pre-
mier LLOYD George was basing his state
ment on the number of men of the Amer
lean army now in line before Amiens
with the French forces. The strength of
that American force had never been made
public but it is known to be in excess of
one division, and probably, counting all
auxilaries as well as line regiments,
reaches a figure at least above 100000.
If that is true, and the premier based
his calculation upon American participa
tion of 100000 men, it would indicate
British information was that half mil
lion German troops had been withdrawn
from the eastern front for use in the
west. That figure, however, it is felt
here, probably underestimate the actual
German movement.
Whatever the strength of the Amer
lean army in France may be to-day. the
statement is made in semi-official circles
and has not been challenged at the war
that a million men will have
been transported by July ! of this year.
Officers declare the German withdrawal
from the east front certainly could not
have been anywhere like five times that
The race between German of
fensive plans and the American effort to-
aid the allies, pictured by Lloyd George,
therefore narrows down TO a question Of
time, with July setting the time before
which heavy net increase in the man
power facing Germany in the west viii
have been made.

CRITICIZE SAMMIES
For Eating Too Much French Meat, Their
Own Frozen Product Being Sent Home.

Paris, Thursday, May 23.--The arrival
of American troops has been received
with great enthusiasm and gratefulness
in France, but the Americans are pur-
chasing meat here, said Senator Chaste-
net, in criticising the latest measures Of
food control of Victor Boret, minister of
provisions, in the Senate to-day. He
said the government had failed to pro-
vide refrigerating warehouses, and that
for that reason it had been necessary to
send back to the United States frozen
meat which had been imported.

Premier Lloyd George Says That Those
Who Know Best What the Pros
poets Are Feel That the Victory
Will Be Won By the Allies
AMERICAN ARMY is NOT A FIFTH
OF WHAT GERMANY HAS GAINED
REPORTS FROM FRONT
SHOW LITTLE ACTIVITY

Heavy fighting operations on the
western front still are in the stage
of anticipation. Continuation of
the present calm much longer is
hardly possible with both sides
prepared for renewal of extern
sive operations. The Germans are
known to have completed their
preparations, and the allies are
confident in their ability to meet
the shock of enemy attacks, wher-
ever and whenever they may come.
What really is going on behind
the German lines is uncertain, but
it is Known the enemy has large
numbers of men along the front
from Ypres to Rheims. His artil-
lery is in position and weather
conditions have been favorable.
But the German leaders are not
yet ready to test their fate, or at
least they have given no indication
of doing so. The German morale
is reported to be much weaker
than before the attack of March 81
Meanwhile the allied mastery of
the air is productive of much dam
age to German billets, airdomes,
artillery concentrations and other
military targets For more than a
week now British and French air
men have been dropping ton after
ton of bombs in the area imme-
diately back of the German lines.
In aerial fighting the German fly
ers have been bested, and on
Wednesday British ayiators ac-
counted for Is enemy machines,
while losing three of their own
Raids into Germany continue,
and British bombing squadrons
have again visited Mannheim, on
the Rhine, where two fires were
caused. An electric power station
near Saarbrucken, German Lor-
raine, was damaged severely, and
more explosives have been dropped
on railway stations at Metz.
Berlin claims that three Ameri-
can airplanes have been brought
down on the Lys battlefield. This
is the first indication that Ameri
can airmen were with the Ameri-
can troops on this front.
Infantry raiding operations and
artillery firing is at a minimum
along the entire front from Swift
zerland to the north sea. Activity
on the American sectors has been
below normal.
Italy begins her fourth year of
the war to-day. As in France, the
enemy withholds his offensive op-
erations, halted some weeks ago.
On the mountain front there has
been no fighting of moment, while
along the Piave, the Italians have
repulsed another Austro- Hungari
an attack against the new bridge
head at Capo Sile.

EVAN WILLIAMS DEAD.
Noted Tenor Died at Akron, Ohio, of

Akron, o., May 24.-H Evans Will

Death, which was due to blood poison
ing, came while Mr.. Williams was sur
rounded by his wife and children, called

TRYING TO REOPEN
BRUGES CANAL
Having Failed to Blow Up Concrete-La-
den Ships, Germans are Now
Digging Around Them.

London, May 24.-Having failed in at
tempts to blow up the two concrete la q.
den ships sunk in the entrance TO the
Bruges canal at Zeebrugge, the Germans
are now engaged in cutting away the
piers in an attempt to outfank the OBJ
struction.
Photographs taken three days ago by
British naval airmen show this and they
also show how completely the entrance
has been blocked. So the Germans hive
adopted the expedient of removing the
piers on the west side of the canal in or
der to make large enough channel for
torpedo craft and other vessels larger
than submarines to pass out to sea.

ON THE EVE OF GREAT GERMAN ATTACK
THE ALLIED COMMAND is CONFIDENT
THOUGH AMERICAN AID IS INCOMPLETE
SWEDEN AND JAPAN
ARE LESS CORDIAL
Swedish Minister and Fourteen Promi-
nent Swedish Residents in Toxic
Have Left the City.

London, May "a. Much speculation
has been aroused in Toxic over the de
parture of G. O. Wallenburg, the Swed
ish minister, and fourteen prominent
Swedish residents, according TO a dis.
patch from the japanese capitol TO the
Daily Express, dated Thursday. Allega-
tions of unneutral conduct by the min
lister are freely made.
The japanese foreign office has not is
sued a statement, but it is added, that it
is public knowledge that allied diplo-
mats recently refused to meet Mr.. Wal
lenburg or to attend functions to which
he had been invited No members of
the diplomatic corps were at the railway
station when the Swedish minister left.
