COTTON EXC ( Y r ?\ AMERICANS MOVING TO JOIN IN FIGHTINC Washington, April 2.?While tht battle in Picardy halted today in e lull that only foreshadows the break ing of a new and terrible storm, Ame rvcan troops were hastening to joir in the fray with their French and British comrades. Formal announce ment from London that these unit: would be merged with the allied wai machines indicated to officials that the losses of the allies would be int mediately made good with vigorous young Americans, keen for the battle, and the stage set without delay not only for a counter offensive, but for aggressive warfare without pause' until the German invader shall not only be checked but hurled back lo ultimate military defeat. President Wilson had predicted that this will be the decisive year o! the war. In the opinion of military otilcers here, both American ami French and British, he has taken the decisive step toward making hi. words good. The power of American manhood is to be brought to bear without delay not only in the American expeditionary army itself; but also in the fighting ranks of the allied armies. By this means the effect of American intervention in the war, it is said, will be doubled or even trebled and in coming days of the battle which may last for months. Americans by the tens of thousands will play their part. War Department Silant No comment on the announceinenl from London was made at the wai department. Probably not more than x very few of the highest official-) know precisely what method is to b^ adopted to rush American forces to France. Int>.ead of an explanation Major General March made public an order from Secretary Baker, now "n Europe, directing tfiat al: nfornat'on hereafter regarduig the activities of American troops oversea* >e centralized in General Pershing's lands. The war departmc.il will iioi give '?ul any statements tc i r. ng u. those forces.

Whatever may huv ? been the en final burden of th? secretary's mis don, the complete unification of Gor many's three most p werful enemies has been accomplished. The effe<*t ifficers believe, w:ll be seen sho?-tlj it the battle front. For Overiea* Training. Just before Secretary Baker let 'or Piurope he had under eonsidera tion new plans for establishing A me rican training centers with the Britisl "orces as well as with the French. N< lecision has been reached he sale shortly before he left. I he plan al .hat time, however, contemplated on y training in order to hasten the ar rival in France of American forces in sufficient number to influence the J !-! 1? nn war uccisivi'iy. i nc men were to nt put through the British training ays tem, from receiving camps 10 .10.. line trenches, then to le turm.d ovei to General Pershing for incorporation in his army. Thj actual pi. 11 -adopted apparently '3 an ou growili of this proposal but it is far moic r IRS' Lh Secretary of Agriculture 1 eeds itself, but for our boys in ation recjuire this year that fot and gathered under present lal lay what the value of cotton ' f .sacrificing its food acreage i * lS cAdoo, is urging the cotton gro1 n growers will heed the appea ess sense. It feels that it is onl jty in aiding America to win tl :hange significant for it contemplates not <t only training but actual operations of battle of combination?British and ^ French-American forces in addition | to General Pershing's own army, (j, 1 the upholding of which it to be press- j ed forward with every urgency. Of the showing American troops 1 J in this country will make at the front,' British and French officers here who have studied the cantonments and r ] the men, probably are the best judges. I hey agree that the American sol- j 0 ^ dier who has had from GO to 90 a' days instructions here is fully ready JI to go to the front, provided he is surrounded with veteran troops. They ur< ' have been deeply impressed by ?he in' W.ll; - woi^cnvc unu ijuick perception ot the sp< Americans. coi Many Men Available. There are hundreds of thousands bo of men now available both here and , in Europe who are physically lit^ and ^01 , mentally ready for the battle, these j officers say, and it is there men who ' are to be used. Associated with" British and French veterans they will pick up the tiner points they lack in ' a matter of weeks or even days, ^ these officers say, and fhe confidently 1 predict that the showing ??f the men 1 in battle will more than justify their a s use without waiting for their full Jtraining course. J The German general staff has comb- wh ed Germany to find reserves for the Tu present drive, infor.nation from the ] front shows. The physical standard Wji has been almost abandoned, judging ] by prisoners taken. las Compared to these recruits, the hoi American units sent :n to ii'1 up de- ] oleted British or French brigades ai\ las seasoned and selected Jroops, accord- ] ng to the British officers.
