The decision to this effect is con-
tanned in a letter OF Secretary Baker

Secretary Baker wrote that. eniis'-
ments were coming i'll slowly anu
added:
"As enlistments can be MADE oh's
no to the authorized strength OF 'he
regular army and this strength Is not
sufficient to meet all the necessities
existing for troops. It will be necessary

BRITISH PLAN BIG
TRADE EXPANSION
Propose Increased Appropriation For
Extension Of consuIar System and
Establishment of Commercial At
tachss in Preparation for Foreign
Trade Advancement.


Washington, April s.-Ineocmation
Of plans for reform Of the British
consular service with proposed ex-
penditure Of one million pounds an
nually for consuls and 250,0O0 pounds
for commercial attaches was received
with great interest today by officials
here who are directing the govern
ment's preparations for peace time
foreign trade expansions.
Cooperating closely with the new
consular service will be a world wide
system Of trade commissioners esta5-
lshed by several Britis!, trade asso-'
Citations. one Of which represents 10
900 firms with a combined capital Of
1000, 100000 pounds. The first COM
missioner OF this association already
has been stationed in Madrid and
third is to tour South Africa Other
representatives have gone to Scrosa
and Holland.
OF special interest here was the an
nouncement that eight leading RraZll-
ians have been invited, by the organ
ization to tour England this summer,
accompanied by the newly appointed
commercial attaches for Brazil.
If its plans are carried out, the as
ISOLATION will cover the world with
trade commissioners who will not be
selling agents or commercial travellers
but who will have a freer hand than
consuls or commercial attaches. They
will make their reports by cable.

Frsnch Deny Differences Exist.

Paris. April s-The views of Presid-
ent Wilson'S attitude on French claims
before the peace conference put forth
by certain American circles" are de-
clared by. the A1atin to be entirely
fantastic" President Wilson, the Ma
tin says, is conscientiously studying
The final details of the preliminary
peace.
The Petit Partisan comments IN
much the same vein, emphatically de-
nying that there are differences be-
tween the French and American dele
cations, especially regarding financial
questions, as has been reclared.
The Paris newspapers as q whole
reiterate the views that it will be sew
eraI days before the work OF the con-.
ference will Ne completed In such a
way that peace may be made stimuli
taneously with Germany and her al
lies. They predict that the meetings
In Versailles probably will take place
within fifteen or twenty days, however.
According to LIE journal, the plan
fer q buffer state at the mouth OF the
yistula has been abandoned. the hand
ing over Of Danzi9 to the Poles to be
the course adopted, probably.
The Echo De Paris Says it Is able to
state that the solution Of the repara-
ton question reached by the confer
ence provides for complete reparation.
The plan, It adds, calls for the an
nual meeting Of an interallied COM
mission to decide upon the sum that
Germany shall pay the following year.
1t is believed, this newspaper also
states. that Geneva has been definitely
chosen as the seat Of the society Of
nations. The plan for q triumphal
parade in. Paris along the Champs
