WASHINGTON DEUGHTED BUT MAKES NO COMMENT ON NEWS. Washington, May 12. News of the British statement that the Entente is so confiident of .its ability to hold the Germans and that the Americas my is not to be used until it becomes a complete and self-supporting force was received by army officers here tonight with frank 'delight, not only because of the supreme confidence indicated by such a decision but on acount of the keen desire of American military men to take the 'field against the enemy as a distinctly America nforce. It was evident, however, that offi cials b fthe war department were puz zled bv the Ottawa dispatch quoting the British war summary. In the ab sence of Secretary Baker, who is In Charlotte inspecting Camp Greene, no one would talk officially, but the im pression was given that no informa tion had reached the department to indicate .an intention jto change the announced policy of brigading-Americans with the British and French arm ies so as to hasten thel rarrlval 'at the front to ai din stemming the German assault. " . It is no secret that President Wjlson and his military advisers consented to thi sararngement only to, meet a- great emergency and to aid in welding the allied armies on the western frot i to one effective force. . - r j "Under the plan of filling up the ttntisn and French gaps .with Ameri can reserves" the. American would be equipped and supplied by the armies to whlc hthey were attached. 'Alt that plan is changed" the Americans i now going overseas as fast as ships can be provided will majch to the front ' as soon as their training behind the lines is complete as an American varmy, a new and powerful force to play a part in -driving the Germans back across their own borders. : ; BODY OF M21S."

George Creel, chairman-of .the committee on public informatiorijinyexpfiiriing an address here 'tonight," what-' he had meant by declaring '.in a recent speech that he was .proud, the United': States had entered the wa-unprepared. "The admistation had':.two courses to pursue after "the? German outrages n our war .vessels at;'Bea7' l he said. One was . to appeal ntetn'ational law, which was the .right of 'neutral nations; the other:. was to appeal to arms and tp go to war with Germany It appears that . the.' president pre ferred to make his appeal to" interna tiona llaw, -which he did. Germany sub sequently disregarded it.: promises and the president asked congress to declare a state of- war April 6V 1917. At this time this- country was not prepared' for war. Had. Mr. Wilson begun preparations' f or war- while ask- ng for arbitration in ' law he would not have-been sincere. He would-have been, drawing taesword with one hand ; wnut notamg -toiKixtne oiner ior a sacred agreement. It would not have been honorable for the United States to be mobilizing armies while asking for a peaceful solution as a neutral. - "That was my position and my mean ing. I wilj not be driven from ray po sition." ' In reply to a question, Mr. Creel said his committee would "say something about the aircraft investigation "as soon as the proper authorities make their-, investigation." - Asked why the committee "doesn't tell the American people something about the real manpower of Germany," Mr. Creel said: - "Because everybody who isn't dense ly ignorant knows already that we are up against the greatest -military man power in the world, and the news of the day by military experts keeps the people; informed about the etrengtn or the German armies." i Asked "Why the United States does not recognize the Russian revolution?" Mr. Creel replied with apparent indig nation: N , -Which revolution? How would we go about such- recognition? To whom Where? Those so-called leaders of the Russians would turn all our efforts to aid Russia into the hands of Germany. Why, they have bargained with the Germans for the ruin of Russia. Why should this country recognize such men? Speak ine personally, I wouldn't recognize them in the streets. What have they ever done for Russia?" To a question of Why does- the United States oppose Japan's proposed Intervention In Russia?" Mr. Creel re plied: "Because this country feels that Japan ought not to do anything that might detract from . our war ainjs which are opposed to all spirit of con- auest. unless Japan Is first asked by the Russians who were originally our comrades in war,; to protect them;" RED CROSS WORK IS - REPORTED IN DETAIL i Wonderfnl Extent and.
