The five Kansas regulars who bolted the Republican House caucus today formulated plans for a showdown on protection of domestic oil producers be- fore the new House organizes next De- cember. 4 Simultaneously Representative Strong | the only Kansan who attended the party caucus said Speaker Longworth, who was renominated for that office had, on his own initiative, released all present from any obligation to support when the quesiion of House organ- ization comes to a vote. The plans of the oil group now con- template a tariff instead of the import limitation advocated at this session “We intend to sit down and discuss this matter with party leaders next year before the House organizes.”, said Rep- resentative Hoch, leader of ‘the group. “We stayed away from the caucus be- cause we wanted to demonstrate clearly that we mean business. We did not want to feel bound by any action taken.” Hoch was joined in this stand by Sparks, Guyer, Hope and Lambertson, all Kansas Republicans.

The 1st, 2d and 3d had already beccme actively engaged, the 1st being slated to go to the reserve near the Chateau Thierry salient when re- lieved from Cantigny. The 2d was still in line at Belleau Wood and the 3d south of the Marne. Gen. Foch had asked for five of the divisions recentiy arrived that were training with the British. Of these the 4th and 28th, while en route to the quiet Vosges sector to relieve French [& ions, had been diverted to the re- ser near the western face of the iarne salient. The 35th had moved to the vicinity of Epinal and the 77th was about to enter the trenches in the Baccarat sector to | replace the 42d, which was to reinforce | Gouraud’s army east of Rheims. The 82d had started for the Toul sector to relieve the 26th, which in turn was soon to relieve the 2d. British Claim Priority. Thus there were three American divi- sions in quiet sectors and seven either n the battle line or held in readiness | to meet any eventuality which might result from further activity of the Ger- mans in the great wedge they had driven toward Paris. The British were displeased at the transfer of our divisions from their area, claiming pricrity to retain them by reason of having brought them over. When Gen. Foch inquired of the condi- tions under which these troops were serving with the British, my reply made it clear that he had entire authority to direct where they should go in the emergency, as without it the theory of a supreme command would fail. The rapid succession of German offensives had seriously cripnled the llies, and nct only materially reduced their powers of resistance, but had de- pressed their morale and caused the darkest misgivings among them. They grew more and more fearful lest the | enemy might still have untold reserves ready to swell his forces. That the morale of the allies was low was shown by the conclusions of many of their sol- diers returning from the front to the rear areas. Reports from the British front were no better. Their troops continuously told our men who were with them for training that we had come too late and that our entry into the battle would only postpone allied defeat. seemed so alarming that I took steps to prevent such a spirit from affecting our Army by promptly reporting the facts to allied authorities. The presence of such sentiments was another important rea- son for opposing any form of amalga- mation. Size of Request Unrealized. Far short had we fallen of the expec- tations of the preceding November, when Foch, Gen. Robertson of the Brit- ish and I had joired in an urgent ap- peal for 24 trained American divisions by the following June. It is small wonder that the allies were now so in- sistent in urging increased and continu- ous shipments of men, trainea or un- trained.

A brief calculation of these demands of the prime ministers showed that they were asking more than 2,500,000 combat- ant troops by the following Spring, which, augmented by those required for the services of supply, conservatively calculated for a well balanced force sit- uated in a foreign country under the circumstances that surrounded us, would amount at least to 4,000,000 men. The American combatant force would thus have equaled 200 divisions of the allies, and their apprehension may be imagined when we realize that this was greater by one-fourth than the com- bined allied armies of 162 divisions then on the western frant Although no such nuinber as this could have been considered feasible, as it is unlikely that it could have been either transported, equipped or sup- | plied, it was necessary, in view of the | situation, to lay plans for bringing over all we could.

A detailed study of the troop shipments and tonnage required was included. The situation as viewed at that time can perhaps be best shown by quoting part of my cable: “The present state of the war under the continued German offensive makes it necessary to consider at once the largest possible military program for the United States. The morale of the Prench government and of the high command is believed to be good, but it is certain that the morale of the lower grades of the French Army is distinctly poor. Both the Prench and British people are extremely tired of the war, and their troops are reflecting this at- titude In their frequent inability to meet successfully the German attacks. “It s the American soldiers now in France upon whom they rely. It is the moral as well as material aid given by the American soldier that is making the continuation of the war possible. Only the continual arrival of American troops and their judicious employment can restore the morale of our allies and give them courage.

By the Assoclated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., February 27.— Sale of 67 per cent of the assets of the National Bank of Kentucky, which closed last November 17, to the First National Bank here, was announced to- day by Federal Judge Charles I. Daw- son. The remaining assets will be liqui- dated by the receivers. ‘The sale will give to depositors of the closed bank a 67 per cent dividend promptly, the court announced. The disbursement, which will be made through the First National Bank, amounts to about $15,000,000. The sale, accomplishing the same object as a pro- posed new bank, of making funds im- mediately available, dispensed with the new bank plan. Officers of the First National Bank, Paul C.
