AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE NUMBERS
OVER HALF MILLION.
Waahlnjton. D. C.—Newton D.
Btk*r, nrnlirr of War, announced
on Wedneaday that hia prowiiee to the
Senate Military Affair* Committee
mxta in January ra*aritin* the nma
bar of man that tha Unitad -itatea
could aand to ¥ranee aarly thii yaar
■■I h«-an mora than fulfilled. When
tha Secretary of War appeared at that
tima hafora tha rommittaa ha »La lad
that 1500,000 man would be availabla
aarly in tha yaar. Although Serretary
Baker rave no number* on Wedneaday
hia reference tu h« Uatrment in Jan
uary leave-i no room to doubt that at
laaat half a million Unitad .State*
eoldier* are now rn French noil.
Mr. Baker'* «tbti>ment wt> aa foi
Iowa:
"In January I told U'« Senate com
m it tee that th«*r» waa atrong likeli
hood that en ■!■/ in tha present year
600,000 American troopa would ba dla
patched to France I cannot either
now or perhapti later diacuaa the num
ber of American troopa in Prance, but
I am triad to ba able to ray that tha
foracaat ( made in January haa bean
aurpnaaed."
When Mr. Baker mmle hi* promise
to the nation and to the committee, it
wil) be rememlwred that he made its
fulfillment contingent on a forthcom
ing supply of tonnage. Through the
help of the British Government, sHip
ping ha* been made available and the
War Department appear* to have
rear. *na for hope that the showing
made so far in the mobilization and
transportation of man-power will not
onlv be maintained bnt surpassed dur
ing the coming months.
Despite the disappointment in the
production of aircraft, machine guns
ami heavy ordnance, it would appear
that there is no doubt that the UniUd
State* Army In Franca ia well equip
ped and able to take it* place beside
the armies of the Allie*.
Little light ha* been thrown thus
far on the cau*e* which operated to
delay the production of the Browning
heavy machine gun*. It i* suspected
that more difficulty was enperienred
in putting the gun on a quality pro
duction basis than was ordinally ex
pected either by the War Department
or by the companies engaged in it*
manufacture. According to state
ments made on Wednesday, the light
Browning gun production i* proceed
ing satisfactorily.
When the Military Committee of
the Hou*e was informed that the Colt
Company had failed to meet expecta
tion* in the production of heavy
Browing*, nothing whatever was said
of the progress made by the Wost
inghousa, and the Remingto^i compan
ies. It is thought probable, however,
that quantity production is no farther
ahead in the'* two compile* than a:
the Colt plant. In the meantime the
House commit*.** :* w«i*inj» for a re
port from *h" W:»r Department before
taking un its investigation into the
•CKiKea of delay.
With referenc? to the heavy Brown
ing gun sit'iati n, Mr. Baku- has de
clared:
"Ear.> mart lecturers intimates as
«. trie produiiM of the ! «-»v* t
perhaps were more optimistic han
was justified. The estimate, of the
Ordnance Department ir January has
been met and in being met. Some of
these heavy guns have been produced,
and there is every indication of forth
coming production in increasing and
substantial numbers."
The Senate Military Committee is
investigating the actual state of gun
carriages for heavy ordnance. A sub
committee, of which Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska is chairman, consid
ered the question in executive session
on Wednesday. No figures were gi\en
out by the committee but it was stated
that greRt delay had been cause 1
through the effort of the War Depart
ment to perfect a new gun carriage,
which however, after the loss of much
time, had failed to materialize. The
Ordnance Department has decided to
put the British and French model*
into quantity production.
A study is being made of the for.
mulae and manufacturing processes ol
medicines requiring glycerin, and
plans for the curtailment of the quan
tity now used In Case it becomes ne
cessary will be submitted to the gen
•ral medical board of the Council ol

"Russia in tha moit democratic
country in tha world," Mid .Sir John.
"Autocracy i* only tha cruat ower tha
|wnipl«t." The people, he Mild, are na !
turnlly democratic. It i* in the rural
districts of Russia that one find* real
Russians. and only 15 per rent of them
live in the town.-,. They are patriotic
people, for with Uiem patriotism it
akin to religion. They are a brave
people, and when the war came they
lined up with the common purpn e
and went to meet the enemy. When
weapon* were not to be had, they went!
with scythes. It is the German in-j
!Iuenr» in Ru.-sia that ha." caused the
trouble, - aid Sir John, and told of the
large number of German* in Ru**ia
where they have taken high place* in1
the government. It ia believed, he,

m:iny can not accomplish by force of
arm*, "he accomplishes by underhc.id

In aharacterizing the czar, Sir John
de cribcd him a* well meaning man of
h.gh principle*, but weak. Alway* he
hail the good of hi* people at heart.
It might be said that Ru ian official.-!
wure pro-German, but urh a thinf
could never be *nid of the rtor.
"Impractical Bo»"
The Ru*'ian, said Sir John, a big
impractical boy, with high ideal*, and
with no desire to work. The Rus
sian* ba<I a fanta*tic notion of what a
revolution would mean, that theyj
would work less and get much more
money. It wa* the Jew who started
the revolution, he *aid. a race with
*harper wit*, more ingenuity, and
more ncheming mind. Sir John as
sured his audience that he greatly ad
mired the Jew, and that ha realized
that the land* that have treated the
JewB well have pro«pered. The Jew
• h one of the l>e*t citizens of the world
when he i* well treated, hut the Ru*-,
-ian Jew has not been well treated,
berauKe the Ru*sian i: afraid of him.
I.enine, Trotzky and other leaders are
Jews. "Russia will never be free,"!
he said. It will again be under alien
influence, "and the Jew has nothing
to thank Russia for."
Italy sunereil. said r*ir jonn, pnn-,

France, he said, is not bled white.1
"The spirit of France today U as

Cireat Britain, with her "contempti
ble little army," held the army of Ger-1
many for two years, while she was
raising another army. It i« said
"there are no young men in Scotland.;
They are all in France."
Work of Women.
Sir John paid a splendid tribute to
the women of Great Rritain. lie told
of theiE-rffilendid, work, and of their
determination. "God help the kaiser
| if the women get hold of him," he said.
Sir John said that of course he real
, ixes that the Americans are the most
' humorous people in the world, because
they have told him so. He alio real
ir.es that the Englishman can't see a
' joke for 20 minutes. However, he
had some stories to tell of British hu

pany. of whose part in the terrific
lighting in Elandern during the early
rlay* of the war he has so well des
rribed in that well known book, "Kit-,

hook* of its kind that the war has
hrough forth. He is the sole survivor
of one gun squad, which was filled up
time and again.
Captain Collin*, one of the finest
of the fliers, is here. In a raid which (
the Germans made across our lines
the other day, all our machines were
run out of the hangers and were off
like a shot. Collin* came in with his
machine shot up from a lively flght.
and his machine gun jammed. He
had a nose dive on his man, and but
for the jamming would have added
one more Roche to his list.
Nungesser, who ha* shot down
thirty-five planes, was here the other
day. Our camp is situated on ground
oncc held by the Germans. On front
and back are lines of barbed wire en
tanglements just as they were placed
during the fighting here. These en
tanglements are many yards deep and
woven In a hundred different direc
tion so that it takes ten minutes to
crawl as many feet, and then you
will get stuck once in awhile so tight
that you cant move.

Hig gun sound* alone the front north
of us. At night the cannonade rises at
times to a point where the building"
shake. Along the front we can nee
scores of star shell flare up hour after
hour. They are used to illuminate
the area twtween the lines to prevent
surprise attacks or to give a chance
to get in the machine gun fire on the
charging parties.
Our r^mp, like everything on the
war front, is camouflaged to hide it
from the eye of the German flier*.
There are protection trenchea into
which we duck when the Boches come
over The other night they |>assed
over and then the fun Ix-gan. We
could see the shells breaking around
the Boches planes about 2,000 metres
up, while the ground trembled under
theshock of exploding bombs. One
passed exactly between me and the
moon and 1 got a good look at him.
The others I did not see, but one
passed directly over our position
about 2,000 metres or 7,000 feet up.
The French planes were up too with
their green and red signal llghta
which keep the home batteries from
bringing them down.

BIG FREIGHT SPACE.
Chicofi), 111. — Tremendous total*
in rail transportation u*e! in hauling
beer, wineii and liquor* in then (lays
when transportation in such an urgent
nef«»*ity and a national problem by
no meant an yet solved are jrven in
Interstate Commerce Commission sta
tistic*. In 1914, the taut year of world
peace, beers, wines and liquor* usad
op 7.771,970 ton* of railroad freight
fac ilities. More than .SOO.IMlO cars it
ia estimated were used in the trans
portation of beer*, wines and liquors
in the year ending June V), 19'4.
The year before the world war was
not a particularly enreptioral year for
alcoholic transportation. The previous
year exceeded it in the amount of ra3
facilities used. The total for that
year was 7107 tons. The country's
total tonnage in 1913 wax larger than
the succeeding year, and therefor* the
wines and liquor* held was slightly
lower- ..1!> par cent exclusive of some
2S.400.000 tons of unas signed ton
nag". The year 1!»12 find* the same
perecntage. .4 of total holding, with
7,011,1574 ton* of wines, liquors and
beer*.
While beer production i« decreasing
the brewer* sre making and shipping
great quantities of near-beer, near
beer production keeping up fairly well
with the falling oIt in regular beer
production according to brewery trad*
paper* so that the brewer* are in 1918
consuming certainly a great amount,
of the freight tonnage they used in
1914.
If one inquire* of any i the beer
handling railroads of St. I.ouis, Mil
waukee or Chicago how much beer
they happen to be hauling nowdays
you are likely to get an un satisfactory
answer. They report they dont classi
fy it. Now there are three railroads
running through Milwaukee and most
of the wines, liquors sq<1 beers they
report to the Interstate Coramerc*
Commission it is safe to say, consist*
•f MilwauVce beer. For the year end
ing June 30, 1915, these railway* car
ried wine*, liquors and beer* as fol
lows: Tonnage originating on road.
ti83,5."7 tons; total tonnage, 759,290
tons.
St. Louis has more railroads, and
figures on th«ir wines, liquors and
beer* shipments are as follows: Ton
nage originating on road, 428.472
tons,; total tonnage, 6»W,389 tons.
This develops a very probable use of
upward of 30.000 cars. This number
of rourse includes cars of Chicago and
other beer and liquors jast as the Mil
waukee roads' tonnage did. How far
■<hort of the actual amount of freight
cars used in hauling St. Louis beer
and the materials for St. Louis beer
this figure is, which as noted con
tains other beer, is well indicated in a
recent United States Supreme Court
decision This decision involved the
Anheuser-Busch Brewery of St. Louis.
The Supreme Court stated that the
rnilroail tonnage used by this brew
ery, inclusive of everything—grate
cars, car coating back, etc- was 40,000
cars • year. The court adds that this
was approximately one-thirtieth of
the total inbound and outbound t raffle
of the entire city.
St. Louis it might be observed is
