Detailed plans of the war department for raising an army numbering ^ millions if that is necessary "to bring the government of the German empire to terms" were placed in President Wilson's hands in the form ot' a bill prepared by the general staff and reviewed and revised in part by Secretary Baker and the gen-. j eral officers who are his military advisers.

C., as headquarters for a campaign to incite Southern negroes against the government of the United States as confirmed by local federal agents. Whether the German government will permit publication in Germany of President Wilson's address to congress was a question of great interest at the state department. A series of powerfully organized points of support held by largo German forces and about eight miles in extent has been captured by Uu French to the south of St. Quentin.
