BIG DRIVE
TO FRANCE
BEGUN ONE
YEAR AGO
General March Planning Now
to Bring Men Home Faster
Than They Were Sent
Overseas.
Hourly Temperature

Washington, April 5,-Commen,-
ing on the fact that tomorrow will
be the second anniversary of the
entrance of the United States into
the war, General March today said:
"T Tomorrow, April 6, is the sec
ond anniversary of the entrance OF
the United States into the world
war. One year ago we were start
ing a tremendous drive to get troops
to France. When ] took charge OF
the office of chief of staff on March
4 OF last year, found that February
had touched bottom in the number
of troops shipped abroad-only 49,
900 men having sailed.
100000 Men Sent in Month.
"We built ships; we bought ships;
we begged ships, we commandeered
ships and on last April 6. the flood
of men across seas had definitely
begun, increasing in volume until
we reached our maximum OF 309, ,0OO
men in one month. Now ON our sec
ond anniversary the great problem
is to get our men back to their
homes across the seas. have sci
as a mark to be reached 10000 men
in one month. Each month is show
ing a steady increase over the month
before, and we will do our best to
break the record in transatlantic
shipments.
Decentralization has been speeded
up at home. One camp has estab-
lished a camp record of demobilizing
over 600 men in one day and we
can easily handle the maximum num-
Der of men per month, which the
available shipping permits us to
bring back. Every state in the union
is now welcoming its returning sons

Out of Archangel By June.
Declaring the Archangel situation,
from a military view, was we'll i'll
hand, General March said it was
incredible that the allied force
there can be driven into the sea by
anybody" He announced that the
War departments plan was to have
the American forces out of that por-
ton of Russia by the end of June.
The chief of staff's statement was
made in connection with reports
from England that the allied and
American forces combating the
bolsheviki were in a serious situa-
ton.
There has been no statement of
the conditions under which the
Americans will withdraw, nor any
announcement to indicate that they
will be accompanied by all the al
lied forces now operating in CO.
operation with the anti-bolsheviki
north Russian armies.
The central powers faced odds oi
greater than two to one IN mobilized
troops when Germany gave up the
fight last November. The estimated
aggregate strength Of the enemy
powers at that time according to
official estimates made public today
by General March, chief of staff, was
7b30.000. The indicated aggregate
allied strength on the date was more
than 15,700,000.
This situation is disclosed in the
figures received by the War depart
ment from France giving the present
status of the belligerent armies.

Inquest Failure.
There are questions in regard to
which the coroners investigation
shows nothing.
Will Mildred Hoeltz's secret be
locked in the urn with her ashes?
With the termination of the coun-
ty attorneys investigation, was the
question of the influence which
crushed the girls spirit, and sub
sequently actuated self-destruction,
consigned to the dim mystery of the
things which have gomez
1t may not be so.
Up out of the murky mist OF the
past it is pointed out there likely
will be shot a gleam of light which
will explain what the inquest failed
to bring out-what Mildred Hoeltz
meant when she wrote her mother
the death note in which she said:
Death Note Not Explained.
Dear Mother: | am tired of
life, There is nothing to it but
sin and free love, so | am going
to sleep. the everlasting sleep.
Please don't think | am doing
this because of love or because
of the quarrel We had this morn
ing. But | have been ready to
die for three years, ever since
was operated on. SO goodbye,
my dear, forget me and lead a
happy and clean life.
From your daughter,
MILDRED"
1t is predicted soon a divorce case
will be tried in district court when
facts will be developed in ccrnec-
ton with the tragedy, which we're
not developed at the coroner's Lear
ing.
The occasion for the girls refer
ence in her note to "A wotid of
sin and free love" was not explained.
Though Mrs. Hoeltz, her mother, on
the witness stand, declared she
could explain this and why her
daughter ceased to make confident
of her, she was told that it was
not necessary for her TO relate
anything which she saw fit to keep
from the jury" She did not ex-
plain.
Mrs. Hoeltz also spoke of I mys-
terious conversation Mildred had
with man named A. ]. Smith. a
travelling s.,lesman, the night before
she died. Though Mrs. Hoeltz prom
ised to have him at the inquest,
Smith failed to put in an appear
ance.
Harvey D. Walker, friend ant ad-
wiser of Mrs. Hoeltz, referred to a
sweetheart the girl had in Callfor-
MIA, while the mother insists her
daughter had no sweetheart. Walk
err insisted at one tine that he was
not even a friend of the 'l1oeltz
family, declaring he was just a
neighbor.

County Attorney Shotwell de-
clared yesterday that he did not ap-
prove of the way in which Deputy
County Attorney Paul Steinwender
conducted the corners inquest.
