Hitchcock. chairman of the foreign relations committee. stat. ed that he felt sure that at the prop CT time and before committing the American government to any defin- ite pledge President Wilson would advise the senate fully regarding what agreement had been reached as to the final action on the league
 For many days the members of the senate have been discussing the ques. tion of the league and many feared that the President would commit the United States as a party without taking the members of congress into his confidence. The address of Sen. ator Hitchcock has in a measure allayed the fears of those who were in doubt as to information being re. ceived.

GERMAN DEFEAT ATTRIBUTED TO
 METZ RETREAT
(The Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 5.-A recent issue of the Frankfort Zeitung makes the statement that Germany's collapse was not due to a revolution or the blockade being maintained by the allies for the shutting of of supplies. but was caused by the retreat of Ludendorff when he started for the Antwerp-Metz lines under the pres. sure of the allied forces. The break. ing of the line by Ludendorff was the first step toward the defeat of Germany.
 The paper states that Ludendorff probably noticed his error at a critical time. for he was heard to re. mark early in September that the war could not continue much longer on account of the stragetical military situation of the allied forces.
 That his remarks were caused by close study on his part was evidenced by the rapid manner in which the lines crumpled when the full pres. sure of the allies was brot to bear upon 1t.

 The President expressed himself as being highly gratified at hearing that the report had passed the house unanimously. The President holds the passage of the measure as one of greatest importance to the na- tion. as a large navy at this time would place the United States as the leading world power on the high seas. Nothing Is contained in any agreement between the powers that would forbid America from building a larger navy than the one now in commission.

FOUR MILLION AMERICANS ON
 FOREIGN SOIL
(The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-For the first time since the entrance of the United States into the worlds con- flict has the full fighting strength of America been announced by the war department. the figures given out being a complete surprise to the public.
 The report shows that at the time the armistice was signed there were 3,703,273 men bearing arms or in the service in Europe.
 In making a comparison of the allied forces against those of Ger many it was shown that on July 1st, last year. the allied rife strength for the first time during the war exceeded that of Germany.
 AS the American troops kept pour ing into France the strength of the allied army kept increasing until the first of November when the all lied forces exceeded those of Ger, many by almost two to one.

GREAT BRITAIN
 DEM0BILlZlNC

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The work of de- mobilizing the troops of the British government is progressing at a good rate, over two hundred and fifty thousand being discharged from ser vice during the past week. This re- port was given out by the minister of war early today.
 Since the work of reducing the army has commenced over one mil. lion men have been discharged from service. The rapid rate at which the men are being returned to civil life has caused cessation in the grumb. ling noticed a few weeks ago over tho slow methods. The next prob. lem of the government will be to find work for the men. who will have to remain idle unless they SC. cure employment before spring.

PORTLAND. Feb. 6.-Henry Al. bers. former president of the Albers Brothers milling company. was con victed here today by jury of vio. lating the espionage law. Seven charges had been rpeferred against him. the jury finding him guilty on two counts. His attorneys tried to have clemency exercised by present ing in their defense that at the time he violated the law he was in an intoxicated condition and there. fore not responsible for his utter. ances.
 The charge laid against Albers was that of talking against the govern ment of the United States on sev. eral occasions before entering the war and on the policies of the gov ernment for supplying goods to those nations engaged in the war In pref erence to Germany.
 The case was bitterly fought from the first day, neither side showing any consideration for the witnesses in their examinations and cross ex. aminations. The defendant was also subjected to a most gruelling exam. ination by the prosecution. Albers may appeal.
