Absolutely Necessary; Am
erican Battle Casualties Are
240,197 During War.

Washington, March S.-The war de-
partment is facing perplexing prob
lem to maintain an army OF half
tion.
General March today announced that
the nation now cannot get along
with less than 50s,909 men, and, he
added, this could be maintained through
enlistments.
( Secretary Baker. on the other hand
declared that congress failed to give
the war department authority to en-
list beyond the national army strength
about 250,000-and over this figure
the government could enter into no
contract with volunteers.
March said enlistments will fill
places of those who Joined the army
only for the emergency period But
1T may be found necessary to fill va
Hcancies beyond 250,O00 men for which
enlistments may be accepted from
drafted men, guardsmen and other
emergency" men, whom the war de-
partment had hoped to be able to send
home.
MlLITARlLY NECESSARY.
ITO permit the military necessities
Of the United States to be handled, the
number OF men in the army will be
kept at 50s.90S men," General March

EBERT GAINS REDS
REVOLUTION, BUT At
BIG Loss OF POWER
Partial Recognition Given Sow
lets to Result in Renewed Eff :
forts by Paris Delegates to
Complete Peace Treaty.
BY. ED l. KEEN.

Paris, March S-Germany's third
revolution appeared tonight to have
been suppressed, but at the cost of
important concessions by the gov
ernment.
The Spartacans, although defeated
militarily, were reported to have OBJ
tanned partial recognition of the Sow
cts which will be Incorporated in the
new constitution. The implied loss OF
power by the cabinet representing the
only responsible body that can deal
with the allies, will, 1t is believed, re-
suit in renewed efforts by the peace
delegates to speed up work on the
preliminary peace treaty.
Realization that the situation in
Germany is rapidly nearing a crisis
has imbued the allies with the desire
to effect stabilization of conditions
there as soon as possible.
The separate peace pact can not be
completed before the first of April, ac-
cording to general belief. AS a result
the conferees are taking UP separate
ly the most important present phase
of the situation, that of feeding Ger
many and partially raising the eco
nomic blockade.
The supreme war council Is under
stood to have agreed on new pro-
gram covering this, which probably
will be in shape to present to the
German economic commission early
next week.
Meanwhile, the allies will conduct
special investigation in the terri
torial dispute between the Jugo-Slavs
and Italians which approached the
breaking point recently with expulsion
of an Italian mission from Laibach.
A commission Of allied military Of
ficials has been appointed to go te
I.aibach and make a thorough inquiry
The investigation is expected to re-
suit in Improvement of the relief work
in Bohemia, Austria and the Balkans
All the various peace committees
are expected to present their reports tt
the peace conference next week. The
most important of these will be the
reports covering reparation and re-
sponsibility for the war. The COM
mittees have been requested to make
the reports in the form of articles fol
direct incorporation in the preliminary
treaty. The outline of the pact vii
thus be ready for general discussion
when President Wilson arrives. ~

Washington, March S-Senator
Lodge. Republican leader in the SEN
ate and next chairman of the foreign
relations committee, has accepted an
invitation from President Lowell OF
Harvard for a joint debate on the
league of nations Lodge announced to-
night.
In accepting Lowelrs invitation to
the debate, Lodge in letter, made
public tonight, said:
II expect to be in Boston next week
and shall be very happy to meet you
and arrange for public discussion
on the plan for league OF nations
agreed upon by the commission of the
peace conference which has lately
been published in this country"
DISCUSSION NECESSARY.
Lowell wrote Lodge last Thursday
suggesting that as "it is of the utmost
Importance that the committees re-
port at the conference in Paris for a
league of nations should receive the
fullest public discussion. l therefore
write to ask If you will meet me in a
public joint debate on the question
whether or not the substance of the
provisions of the covenant should be
ratified by the Unitedt States."
The announcement OF the joint de-
bate created great interest. President
Lowell is a firm believer in the
league. Lodge has taken the position.
that, while everybody wishes to make
war impossible, the methods proposed
in the draft of the constitution as
adopted by the commission in Paris
would entail too great a national sac
rifice by the United States of tradi-
tional policies.
The debate, it is assumed, will be
held in Boston within short time
At Senator Lodges office here it was
said nothing definite will be known
until after Lodge and Lowell meet

CONCLAvES
WITH HUN MISSIONS
HELD NEARER PARIS
Recent Trouble Over Economic
Issues Causes Location
Change; Allies Seek Closer
Touch With War Council.
BY FRED s. FERGUSON.

Paris, March S;-Future meetings
with the German economic commission
will be removed from Spa, 1t was
learned from an authoritative source
tonight. The enemy representatives
probably will be asked to come to Ver-
sailles, Smells or some other place near
Paris.
While there was no actual break be-
tween the two commissions at Spa
this week, the allied conferees favor
holding the meetings in closer touch
with the supreme war council, so that
less time will be lost In case Of an
other deadlock. That was what hap
pened at Spa-both commissions reach
ing an impasse on the question of food
guarantees In return for German ton
mage, necessitating a delay while the
commissioners sought their superiors
for further instructions.
TO RECEIVE FOOD.
British, French and American dele
gates held individual conferences re-
garding the German economic situation
this morning.
The war council took up the prob
lem in detail this afternoon. Accord
ing to reliable information the council
! agreed upon a plan whereby Germany
will receive food in exchange for use
| of her merchant fleet. Just what this
is could not be learned, but 1t was
believed that some minor concessions
had been made to the enemy, owing
| to the pressing necessity for immedi-
ate stabllization of conditions In Ger
many.
QUIZ BALKAN OUTBREAK.
| The council after overcoming Ital-
ian objection to plans for revictualing
Austria. appointed a special military
commission to investigate the expul-
sion of an Italian delegation from Lei
bach, which nearly brought about an

less an effort is made to recruit non

said, they will all quit.
