'HOOVER PORTRAYED OPPOSING & s &t S SEPARATE U. S. ARMY IN FRANCE ol. Palmer’s Book on New- ton D. Baker Gives Presi- dent’s Views. Suggested Simply Sending Manpower—Urged Strong Force to Aid Peace. Col. Prederick Palmer's book, “New- ton D. Baker—America at War,” which is published today, portrays Herbert Hoover in 1917 as Opposing a separate American Army in FPrance. Mr Hoover's idea, according to Palmer, was t- use American troops as “manpower within the ranks of the allies. Col. Palmer writes that Mr. Hoover's army organization views were made in letter written Pebruary 13, E. M. House, President tial adviser. In uggests that ment sions, etc be recruit power to Mr. feasible, Palmer writes 1917, to wilson's the letter M. “if the Govern- muli by provision of pen- a large body of men could sent simply as man- Hoover believes this plan more than the lng training which would be necessary in the organization of an American ex- Baker's cpen-minded _attitude toward his newly assumed duties as Secretdry of War was expressed when he said to his chief of staff, “Gen Scott, you know all about this.

Pershing in main- ing the policy of keeping the Amer- n Army intact An influence in favor of giving the commander France a free hand sprang from Baker's boyhood environment. From the lips of ¥ ther, a Confederate trooper under But Jeb” Stuart, he had learned the tragic | interference with | record of executive generals in the field that proved so uw(,l\' and disastrious during the Civil Wal So when I became Secretary of ald Mr. Baker. “the idea deep v childhood recollection was that ary systems the military man is commander in chief and that civilian interference with commanders in the field is dangerous " Gen. Pershing’s mention in his book that he does not understand how he received two different sets of orders when he sailed for France is explained by Palmer as “another reminder that sponsibilities in the swift succession of war's events NEWTON D. BAKER. lapses of memory.” Baker Prepares Orders. From Palmer's account, Pershing, with his usual precautions for detail, the Secretary throu his official life There are many interesting si encourages | had | drafted instructions which he took to | at the War College. But whefi Pershing | went to Baker's office for his last word before sailing, Baker said, “Here are your orders, general. The President has just approved them.” “The two of were much the same in their general scope with the im- portant difference that the Pershing version made no reference to the im- portance of keeping the American Army intact, which was to be the subject of so many tribulations of the commander | da; in chief in France.” Palmer relates. Baker's historical sense had prompted him to have all precedents looked up and he had assigned an officer to formulate instruction for Pershing as | soon as it had been decided in favor of an expeditionary force. In view of the present revival of interest in Revolutionary War Mr. Palmer makes the interesting ol servation in connection with Baker's orders to Pershing: “The wording of the part about our integral army is strikingly similar to the orders to an- | other expedition—in another day— which was dispatched not by America to France, but by France to America.” These were the instructions carried by Rochambeau on his departure with his army to aid the American colonists in the Revolution. e A Government expenditures in Czecho- slovakia in 1932 will be $15,000,000 less than during the current year.

If you doubt it, try it. The prisoner of Shillon enjoyed a privacy genied the Chief Executive of this Nation.” Minors Barred From Court. All persons under 21 years old were barred from court by Judge John M. illits, who is presiding at the trial. Judge 'Killits explained that he might | exclude all visitors from the court room, sdding that the time might come when' it would be necessary to exclude even the press. “This order is fundamental. It is a part necessary for the decent admin- istration of this court.” t Several young people left the court m after Judge Killits gave the order. Attorney William F. Marsteller of Cleve- | land, representing Miss Britton, told the court that he was making an ex- | ception to the judge’s statement. _There was_nothing salacious in the trial so far, he said, excepting that which might have been read from the books, “The President's Daughter” and “The An- swer to the President’s Daughter.” Arguments in the case may be made today end the case may go to the jury before court adjourns today. i - = U mn-mmnnmn!lmummummmnnmlm|mlllummmnuumnnnmlmmmnmmnumls LOOK FOR THE SCHWARTZ GOLD CLOCK ON fact that a large American Army in France would have “political difficulties in association.” “At the same time,” Col. Palmer con- tinues, “Hocver thought we ought to have strong military forces in being at tie end of the war to hands at the peace negotiations our proposals might be in conflict with European prop-sals " House Favored Plan. Col. Palmer states that Col. House ap- arently favored Mr. Hoover's plan and uggested Hoover's suitability for this post.” In outlining reasons why the plap was not accepted by the United States, | the writer terms Mr. Hoover's idea as one “fatal to our efficlency and to the very cause of the allies.” Gen. Pershing is shown by Col. Pal- mer to have overestimated by 60 divisions the number of American troops needed to win the war. In an account of a conversation between Secretary Baker and Marshal Foch at the allied front, the French leader is quoted as telling Baker that 40 and not Pershing's estimate of 100 American divisions would be needed in France.
