.An American army of 4,000,000 men in
France, working In conjunction with our
Allies 1id under one commander-ln-rhl.r.
-will enable us "to go through the
K." German'.llne wherever we please," Gen-J-'-t
rLJeytoo C March'chlef of staff, de-
3?-cIare ' ' '
Testimony to this effect, given to the
Senate Military Committee, was made
public when Senator Chamberlain re
ported the new man-power bill to the
Senate at noon today.
With the bill Chamberlain submitted
a report recommending quick action and
quoting much testimony given by mili
tary authorities behind closed doors and
hitherto unpublished.
"It Is up to us to win this war and
we can win It," March was quoted as
saying to the Committee. "How long it
ft will take will depend exactly upon what
we do If we drag along with this thing
we will be playing Germany's game
That heavy Inroads will be made in
the ranks of young men below the age
of twenty-one Is Indicated by March's
testimony.
"My opinion Is unqualifiedly in favor
of the young men," he said, replying to
question by Senator Reed "The young
men between eighteen and twenty are
usually not married, they have not set
tled down in life, they have not any In
eurobrenoea and they are better off
physically. '
"The. President has finally announced
that tha American military policy from
this time on Is centered on the western
front and h. has declined to be diverted
from that one thing. The War Depart
ment has now adopted this as a policy
and It is the policy of the United States
that the military program la to be
centered in France.
America's Purpose to Wldp Germany
The purpose of America is to furnish
enough man-power to whip the Ger
mans from rjpw on. The only way that
uermany can oe wnippeu is uy America
going Into this thing with her whole
strength. The policy of the War De
partment Is to put the maximum num
ber of men in France, with the Idea of
shortening' the war.
"We found from the figures furnished
by the provost marshal general that we
could embark on a program of eighty
divisions In; France by June 30, 1819,
'with eighteen divisions at home These
divisions consist of, roughly. 40,000 men
to a division.
"AlUof the men obtained under the
proposed change In the draft law ap
proximately 2,300,000 men we expect to
have in France, by June 30, 1919."
Secretary Baker was quoted In tha
testimony as supporting March's post
tlon throughout
Civilisation at Stake
in summing up the bill Chairman
Chamberlain said the committee be
lieved that In view of the fact that
"civilisation Itself Is at stake" It1 was
necessary to draw upon the younger
men. '"""

h porting the bill Is .based upon the neces
sities OI ma uovcrnmwi in mis crisis,
and Its enactment seems essential to the
carrying out of the enlarged military
program proposed by this Government
In order to enable the United States to
play Its proper part In the pending

U.S. AND BRITAIN COMPLAIN
Make Diplomatic Representations
to Mexico on Oil Decree
By th4 Associated Prest
IVantiliigtoii, Aug. 15 The United
States: and Great Mritulu have Joined in
States and Great Britain have joined in
diplomatic representations to the Mexi
can Government against the oil land de
crees of President Carranza which, it Is
contended, nmounts virtually to confis
cation '
Meiwlco's reply to Great Brltan s query
on the oil question, published In ester,
dti's dispatches, Indicated very dis
tinctly the Carranza Governments atti
tude, which was that the decrees
against which Kngland had voiced com
plaint were a matter purely ot Internal
policy and not subject to diplomatic
discussion The note made it plain
that Mexico did not propose to be
swajed from the course it had marked
out for Itself In limiting the output of
oil for export to foreign countries and
added that of Great Britain legarded
Itself a aggrieved by the Mexican
policy Its proper recourse was the courts
and not in diplomatic adjustment

more pep wthan they did jesterday. The
cooer weafher, Jiowijvjer, seeinl o

Rogers did the pitching foi St I.ouls.
St. Louis got a good lead by scoring
two runs In the first on a pass to
Maisel, a wild pitch. Sister's single and
steal, Hendryx's walk and a double steal
by Ilendrjx and Sisler, on which the
latter crossed the plate.
The visitors added another In the sec
ond on a pans to Austin, his steal of
second nnd Severeld's single. St.. Louis
did not score again until the fifth. Rog
ers opened that round with a single, and
took second on a wild pitch Tobin (Sac
rificed and Rogers scored on the squeeze
play, with Maisel doing the bunting.
In the meantime all the Macks could
do was to score one run In the third
Inning. With two men down In the
third, Walker doubled to center. Burns
singled over second, and on Gedeon's
wild throw to the plate. Walker easily
counted.
St. Louis continued to pile up their
