F0CH TOLD BAKER ALLIES
WOULD WIN BY APRIL, 1919

Field Marshal Foch, in his inter-
view with Secretary Baker about the
time Of Buigaria's- collapse last year,
expressed confidence in winning the
war by April /, this year. with the aid
of forty-dve American divisions, the
United States having forty-two di-
visions in France at that time, Secre-
tary Baker today told the House mill
tary committee.
A few months before that time. the
allied military leaders. expecting the
war to continue into this year. and
possibly 1920, had formulated a pro-
gram for the United States to fur
n;sh eighty divisions, possibly 100. to-
gether with their supplies. AS a
part Of this program. the Secretary
said. Great Britain had agreed to
lend sufficient cargo ships to trans
port and maintain the American
troops.
Mr.. Bakers explanation was given
the committee in response to it's re-
quest for q set of cables. showing the
extent of plans for American par.
ticipation. He said no set of cable.
grams would disclose this. because Of
many questions being only discussed
orally. including his own talks with
Marshal Foch.

Santa Fc Strike Extended

10y ASSOCldJeu TeSS)
SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. %
Members of the four great brother
hoods of railroad men employed on the
Santa Fe radiating from this city, an
nounced last night that they had de-
cided to extend the strike east on that
system as far as Needles. They also
decided to ask the crews of west
bound trains of the Santa Fe system
to leave their trains at Barstow, as
they arrive there.
If trainmen abandon their posts as
they reach Barstow the railroad COM
pany will be compelled to bring it's
passengers from that point by auto
mobile stages, as the accommoda-
tions there would be inadequate for
any considerable number of persons,
according to railroad men.
1t was also announced taht the
brotherhood men would not attempt
to prevent the completion of the jour
neys of trains now west of Barstow
enroute to Los Angeles.
The striking railroad men today
called on the sheriff of San Bernar-
dino county and secured from him the
appointment of II of their own men,
bers as deputies. These men were
stationed near railroad property with
instructions to prevent any disorders.
So far there have been none here OH
the steam roads.
San Bernardino is practically iso-
lated now except for automobile traf-
fic. No trains are moving on the
Santa Fe System, very few on the
Pacific Electric, and none on the
Southern Pacific, which passes
through Cotton, four miles away.

IS PROBABLE,
SAY NAVY MEN
CEy Associated PresSl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Aboli-
ton of the submarine as an instru-
mcnt of modern warfare does not
seem probable to Americal naval Of
fleets who have given careful study
to the arguments put forth before
Allied naval commissions irvestigat-
ing the subject. It is the belief of
tt ese officers that submarines vii!
become more and more numerous in
the principal navies of the world dur
ing the next few years.
The argument has been advanced
that despite the fact that the best
inventive genius of several nations
worked on the problem of devising
means to wipe the submarine out of
existence, the sub-surface craft re
mains the only long radius vessel that
alCne and unsupported, can go nearly
anywhere and, entirely discounting
its main purpose of torpedceing en-
envy warships, its unique defensive
qualities makes it a naval weapon of
the utmost usefulness even when re-
stricted in its use against merchant
shipping.
At the worst, naval strategists
point out. it is never liability that
must be protected and defended. 1t
Is admitted among naval men that
the big ship still rules the seas. How
long this will be true is the question
now taxing the best naval brains of
the world. 1t is conceded for the
present ut least. that the nation that
holds blindly to one line of naval de-
yclopment and neglects another, par
ticularly the submarine. will be in
great ultimate danger.
While the nations having the
strongest navies have throughout the
peace deliberations shown a dsposi-
tlon to agree to the abolition of the
submarine, the smalled and weaker
nations maintain that, having less
powerful naVies, thew are forced to
cling to the more powerful instru-
mentS Cf protection, and offensive and
that therefore they must retain the
submarine as matter of self-pre-
servation.
