Most Terrible Months of War

I .o. HON April 4. The Urltish na-
tion tonight Is uwaiting witli the same
breathless impatience as the Ameri-
can people the decision of congress
whose proceedings are fully reported
In the F.nglish press. This is not be-
cause any doubt exists here as to what
the result of the vote In the Ameri-
can congress will be but because the
ration is anxious to have a formal of-
ficial expression of its sentiments of
satisfaction at America's entry Into
the struggle on the side of the allies
across the Atlantic from 1'arliameut
which will adjourn tomorrow for the
Kaster recess and there is a general
desire that congress arrive at Its de-
cision in time to allow this to be done
before the hoiice of commons re-
cesses. Await Congress.
fending the decision of congress
officials in Iindon hesitate to make
public any expression of their senti-
ments on American co-operation with
the allies. Tho present mood of the
British public is perplexed. On tho
one hand they have dally evidence
from the western front of tho success
of the allies; on the other hand the
war office Is constantly insistiiiK upon
the urgency of providing more men
for the front and the ministers are
Imposing increased food restrictions
warning the country that still greater
sacrifices than any yet endured will
be necessary.
Tho German Menace Seen.
There were two instances of this
today. fleneral Kobcrtson chief of
tho imperial staff at army headquar-
ters declared that the tiernians are
now stronger by u million men than
at any time before and that tho strug-
gle will entail heavy sacrifices and
greater determination. Spencer
Churchill in the house of commons
In the course of a discussion of the
air service referred to America's en-
try into the war as "God has granted
aid to struggling Christendom" and
declared but for this aid no prudent
man could have said that the Issue of
the war was settled.
Naver since tho victory of Marne
had the position been more serious
added Mr. Churchill and even with
America in tho struggle a most op-
pressive situation lay before the na-
. tion. Tho most terrible months of the
war were coming and it would only be
by the highest wisdom utmost daring
niid truest comradeship that the allies
Bhould come safely thru.
Jook to V. 8. Now.
Faced by the gloomy predictions
the people who a few weeks ago
wer inclined to belittle any practical
assistance tho United States could
render now have a tendency to hope
for everything from American co-
operation. While It is recognized that
the greatest aid possible in the Imme.
aiatc future would bo from theAmer-
can navy and in the realm of finance
and supplies keen curiosity is dis-
played as to the lino of co-operation
the' new allv will take.
The American ambassador Walter
II. Page had a conference with Mr.
ralfotir secretary for foreign affairs
today and the American naval attache
was In close communication with ad-
miralty offi-lals on naval co-operation.

Tulsa Ambulancers May See Lines

Tulsa communications from Oklaho-

week at least.
As the Tulsa ambulance company Is
one of the four like organizations in
the Vnlted States and foreign coun-

plans of tho war departi icnt for rais-
ing an army numbering millions i!
that is r.eressary "to bring the gov-
ernment of the German eniplrj to
terms." were placed in President Wil-
ton's hands today In the form of a bill
prepared by the gonerul ttaff and re-
viewed and revised in part by Secre-
tary Haker and the general officers
who are hi military advisers.
I he president has approved

ths
measure to the military committee of

It would go to the house and senate
committees as soon as the war reso-
lution had been adopted. Major-General
ficott chief of staff will explain
the plan and tho military reasons for
the tmcd to train the number f men

to be not less than two million to bu

More Chaser Provided.
In the navy department Secretary
Daniels announced that roMracts for
cpproxln.ately two hundred snbma-
li.ie chasers or coast patrol boats had
been let and additional contracts were
being signed each dav. Preparation)!
to take into tho service a Huge fleet
f small motor craft for Inshore pa-
trol work also are beinr completed.
Mr. Daniels conferred today vith
Captain Wilson chip' of the patrol
service on the Alliinti.- seaboard. 'oe-
ferences also were held with ihe en-
gineering experts of tho departments
lis to the possibility of Increasing tho
number of 110-foot patrol craft to
be oidered.
The department will order all Mint
ran 1 e built and Is receiving new pro-
posals constantly.
See Thru tho Plans.
The scope of the war department's
plan Is gradually becoming clear. In-
cluded in tho scheme must be the
funds nnd equipment necessary to
establish military training on a basis
never before attempted In the United
States. Mimic trench warfare real-
istic to the last possible degree must
replace most of tho old open order
skirmish drill supplemented with
hard marching and vigorous physical
exercises to harden the men as
quickly as possible.
There are many indications that It
is proposed to build up a fighting
machine composed exclusively of men
In their twenties and each man free
from homo responsibilities or cares
that might embarrass his soldierly
quulltles. A perfect military weapon
is to be fashioned officers say If the
army's plan Is accepted by congress.
It will take time and money but
will furnish such a force as will make
its weight tell against any troops In
the world.
No Place for Volunteers.
Army officers indicated today that
the government's policy leaves no
place for volunteer forces. They are
prepared also to urge against any
premature effort to send an army
abroad to fight. To be of any aid in
the world struggle they say only a
