WASHINGT N. D U„ Jan. 3.—
An engagement by the United States
to send a great army against the
Germans in time to offset the defec-
tion of Russia has been disclosed
through the publication by Secre-
tary Lansing ot the .xview of the
wurk and recommendations of the
American mission which recently ।
I articipated in the inter-allied war:
conferences at Paris.
American fighting men are to |
cross the Atlantic as rapidly as they :
can be mustered and trained j
France and Great Britain on their .
part undertake not only to join in '
providing ships to carry them but
to see that any deficiencies in arms
and equipment are made up on the
other side.
This was one of the great de< i-
sions reached at the conferences
through which the <o-belligtrents
planned to pool their fighting re-
source; ami move as a unit towa: d
driving the German- and their al-
lies out of conquered territory a id
• rushing the Teutonic world domi-
nation scheme. There is to be co*
01 din?:<d effort not nly in fighting
on lan 1 and sea but in production
at huLie and in the vast ship build-
ing pi ejects upon whi-h depends the
vital problem c f maintaining unin-
terrupted transportation in spite of
submalines.
Machinery In Motion.
Ever before Colonel House and
his assxciates on the American mis-
sion reached home the machinery 10
again speed up war preparations
I.ere had been set in nv lion. In the
announcement is seen tl- legislation
for reorganization of War Depart-
ment control embraced in the control
of new war council general officers
ol renewed efforts to speed up the
shipping board's merchant building
program and possibly of the deci-
sion of the administration to take
over all the nation’s railroads with-
out waiting for action by Congress.
Other indications *f the new prec-
sure applied since the House mission
returned are manifest with the Na* y
and War Departments but most ot
the things being done cannot be d s-
cussed publicly for mill ary reasons
it can be sta.ed authoritatively
however that definite steps to mil*'
good tne pledges given to the allied (
leader- by Colonel Hcuse already
have been taken.
The first recommendation of the
mission is for •’entire military naval
and economic unity of action" oe-
tuven the po' ci’s opposed to Ger-*
many. That is rega tied as having
been accomplished.
The summar.. of the miltary con-
ferences attended by General Bl>>
shows that an agreement to “pool
lesources for the mutual advantages
ot all" was entered into. There fal-
lows this significant statement:
••Pool” Guarantees Supplies.
‘The contribution of the United
Mates to this pooling arrangement
was agreed upen. Tim contributions
'.ikewi; e of the countries associat *d
with the United States were deter-
mined. Thi? pooling arrangement
guaranteed that full equipment ol
every kind would be available to all
American troop ? sent *0 Europe dur-
ing th; year If* 18.”
Looking beyond 1918 the United:
States will have no need to seek mili-
tary equipment of any kind away •
from home. Before tne present year)
ends its full war re-xurexs will have:
been available.
The third 1 ecommerdation of the
me sion to whi-h the coi ntry is now
committed is for extension of the
American shipping pr gram. “Sys-
tematic co-ordinatio 1 of resources
of men and materials’ to produce
the necessary ships is urged upon
government and people alike.
Under a resolution adopted by the I
inter-allied conference a unified use
of ship tonnage was agreed upon
v. hieh will permit ii. the liberating
ol the greatest amount of tonnage

possible for the transportation of
American troops. A policy to gove n
the use of neutial tonnage was also
agreed upon. Port facilities a* de-
l arkation points for American forces
a ere inspected and steps taken to
permit the return of vessels to their 1
home port with the least possible 1
delay.
Definite Action Taken.
Ever> as the nature < I this agree-
ment which has bound all the re-
sources of more than half the world
into one force to defeat Germany
was published definite action toward
making it good was in progress also
in Pans. Assistant Secretary Crosby
o' the Treastny Department who
remained in Europe as president of
the inter-allied council < tficially de-
scribed as a financial priority board
met there yesterday with the finan-
cial representatives of other powers
to discuss questions of < redit and to
which of the allies farther American
loans are to go.
The revision to keep American
tioops moving to Europe in a steady
stream marks anotner advance in
the government’s war plans. Origin-
ally it was proposed to use all avail-
able tonnage fc. th? ti anspoitation I
of supplies and munitions and to |
send no soldier over until they had
been given a ; ear s training. This
was changed when Marshal Joffre
came to the Un.ted States with word I
that France wanted at once any 1
number of Americans who could !
come to put the star * and stripes on '
tiie firing line an 1 hearten the 1
French soldiers wearied by their j
long cattle against • ic invader.
