"Vav ?? ? Long: Ago. Washington, Dec. 5.?The army program of 80 divisions in France by June 30, 1919, was embarked upon with complete confidence that Germany could and would be defeated during 1919 if the project was carried. General March, chief ot staff, declared *'n his arnual report to Secretary Ba ker, made public today. That conviction was based on a comprehensive study of the whole war situation', or. r? ?o./? >>y General March immediately ' - - v."_ ?* <Vi.i aner ne <tssuuieu xns uuucs <vt mo head of the army last March. "After a study of the entire situation," the report says, "including as accurate an- estimate of the potential strength of our allies on the western front and of the probably.

On July 18, 1918,: I submitted to you a formal memorandum, accompanied l?v a study of methods by which the men could be obtained, the supplies pro cured and an analysis of tne snipping which must be obtained in order to accomplish this very large military program. This was accompanied hv an estimate of the .cost of the pro posed program. Four Million Men. "In this study I recommended to you the adoption, as the American program, of 80 divisions in France and 18 at home by June 30,1919, based on a total strength of the American army of 4,850,000 men-- This was approved by you and by the president of the United States and adopted as our formal military program. To carry this program into effect required the adoption by congress of a change m the draft ages so as to include men between the ages of 1?? and 45 years, and also created a deficiency over the enormous appropriations already made by congress of some $7,000,000,000. The presentation of the program to congress, accompanied by the statement that this in-1 crease in- the army if laws were pass-j ed by congress which would make it effective, would lead to success n 1919, nrndnrpd nromDt and favorable Coii-1 sideration by that body. "Up to the signing of the armistice1 troops were being transported to i France monthly in accordance with that program. The results speak for themselves." The remainder of the report is d<;-j voted to a presentation of the step* it was found necessary to take to build im an adeauate general staff and the annoimcemet that a complete plan of reorganization for the army, including the staff, is being worked out.

Washington, Dec. 5.?Secretary Ba- . ker gave it as his personal opinion today that one of the veteran divij sions of the American army in France will return home before peace formallv is declared. He indicated that the tried fighting men would compose the bulk of the force to be kept in Europe for the present. Heretofore the understanding has been that the Rainbow division- and two or three other famous units would be brought home soon, leaving their places to be filled by some of the new companies. [Several of the divisions which have seen much hard fighting are assigned to the American army of occupation ' which .is marching into Germany Army officers say that it was necessary to make up ths army of tried troops because there was no saying what eventualities might come to pass. Recent dispatches from France have said that an American army of 1,250,, 000 was to remain in Europe for duty until after the proclamation of peace and some veteran divisions in- addiI tion to those now marching into Germany probably will be included in that force. jusnce nans7 son ue&d.
