Says Foe Uses Girls
To Win Yanks' Favor

Warning that the women of Ger
many are enlisted in systematlzed
scheme to ingratiate themselves with
the American occupational forces, thus
hoping to induce lenient attitude
toward their country, is sent to "The
Columbia Alumni News" by Horatio S.
Krans, director of the Paris service
bureau of Columbia University Mr..
Krans urges a vigorous propaganda at
home to offset the effects of such tao
tics, for. he says, "the women have
been highly successful in playing this
shrewd and forward looking game,
Although an army order at length
junketing" which Mr.. Krans reports to
have been so sedulously cultivated Ii
cafes and public places, the German
women he declares, have not ceased in
tn II efforts to win over Americans.
All attentions which "might tend to
produce an agreeable impression and
leave pleasant memory" are offered
"ln spite of a perspicacity that will
enable many of our men to see clearly
and justly to interpret German tricks
of friendliness," writes Mr.. Krans,
there will be room for strong propa-
ganda after our troops go home to
keep before them the wiles of Ger
many so fertile in resource-the true
nature of what Germany has done and
of the heavy burden of debt she has
incurred and should pay to the Allies
who have suffered so long and griev-
ously at her hands"

flags Of the Allied nations arranged
in clusters.
Upon entering the lobby of the hotel
Admiral Sims will be greeted by set
of signal flags arranged to spell the
word "Welcome." Behind these an ad-
miral's flag, four white stars set in a
field of blue, has been hung.
The admiral will be presented with
large victory wreath Of gilded laurel
leaves, the centre of which will be an
admiral's flag OF blue silk, upon which
stars of white carnations have been

Secretary Baker

Two years ago tomorrow America
entered the world war and joined
forces with the brave peoples who had
for nearly three years resisted the
armed tide of autocracy. The
affection and support of our people
surged around the great army which
we summoned, trained and dispatched
to Europe as the repre- sentative of
American strength and ideals.
Nov on the second anniversary of
our entry into the war we find the
armed resistance of our adversaries
broken and a great council assembled
in Paris to set out the terms of peace
and to make possible the reconstruct
tion of the fortunes of the world which
have been shattered by the devastation
of war.
"Just men and humane men every
where are looking with fervert hope
to these deliberations, and America,
conscious of ncw-found strength, sees
both a higher destiny for herself and
a broader application of the principles
upon which her own growth has pro-
ceeded among other peoples of the
world.
"The cost of the war in life and
wealth has been great. Some of it's
losses are beyond repair, but the fut-
ure will be better for men and women
everywhere if the high spirit which
achieved this victory uses its fruits for
the protection of peace and the encour-
agement of justice among men as the
basis of all international relations.
Two years ago our great task was to
win the war-to-day our great task is
worthily to apply it's lessons and use
it's results"

Army Air Service
Begins Nationwide
Recruiting Driv e
General Staff Authorizes En-
lisiment Up to $4,000;
Special Inducements Are
Offered to Ex-Soldiers

The Air, Service of the army yester-
day began a nationwide recruiting cam
paign. This branch of the army as re-
organized by Major General Charles 7.
Menoher has been given authority by
the general staff to include enlisted men
up to about $4,000 Tn recruiting work
in the Department of the East has been
placed under the direction of Major J..
McClintock, at 104 Broad Street.
The Air Service statement in announc-
ing the campaign says: "Now that a
definite plan has been worked out by
General Menoher, it is possible to state
that aerial navigation in the United
States is assured, and that aeronautics
offers career to the young man which
it is believed is superior tothat offered
by any other branch of the army or
navy"
A special effort is being made to get
those men who enlisted for the duration
of the war to reGnlist for the period of
one. year. AS an inducement to those
men the following special privileges
have been offered:
l. They will be discharged under
the usual routine and receive the $50
discharge allowance.
. hoy will be given one months
furlough on reenlisting for the period
of one year commissioned Of
fcers will, in most cases, be allowed
to retain their grade
They i'll be given mileage to
their homes at the rate of five cents a
mile.
"There is no particular advantage. /"
says the statement, "for enlisted men
who have not had previous experience
to enlist for one year because the Air
Service cannot guarantee teaching them
a trade. However. for men who have
lad service in the army it is believed
that there is decided advantage for
the year enlistment, or until labor con-
dltions have become more stable At the
end of that period they can expect a
more positive market for their service
in civilian life"

Under Arms on April I

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Cen
trail Powers faced odds of greater than
to l in modified troops when Ger
many gave up the fight last November
The estimated aggregate strength of
the enemy powers at that time, accord
irg to official estimates made public to-
day by General March, chief of staff,
was 100000. The indicated aggregate
Allied strength on that date was more
than 16,70O,O00.
This situation is disclosed in the
figures received by the War Depart
ment from France giving the present
status of the belligerent armies. They
show that the Central Powers on
March ! had under arms 1,125,00O men,
while the Allied forces aggregated 49,
366 ,OOO
Following is General March's state
ment:
1--WE have received from France some
rather interesting figures about the de-
mobilization of the Central Powers and
the rehabilitation of the entire Allied
forces to include February. The de-
mobilization has been going on, of
course, since then, but the figures show
what has been happening over there.
Armies Greatly Reduce
The Central Powers figures are:

"The total force of the Central Pow
ers on November IL was estimated as
100000 This had been reduced, to
include February, to 1,125,000, or to
Is per cent of their strength on the
same day on which this report was
made. The strength of the Allied
forces was 13,366,000. or rs per cent
of the strength which they had Oh
November H."
Turning to rehabilitation of the
American army, General March said
that the second anniversary of the en-
trance of the United States into the
war found the restoration of American
manhood to civil life more 'han 40 per
cent complete.
On returns up to April l the army
had been reduced to an aggregate
strength of 2O55,71S For that force
General March has set mark of 31o.-
600 discharges a month, toward which
progress is being made Actual dis
charges up to and including April

March said, els now welcoming it's re-
