U. S. WILLING
TO SEND ARMY
INTO TRENCHES
WASHINGTON, May 2. The French commissioners today had assurance that the American government is willing to send troops to France one of the urgent recommendations they
brought to this country when the
allies believe they can afford to spare
the necessary ships for transporting
an army and its equipment across the Atlantic. The administration has put aside the
objections of the army general staff to
sending any troops to the battle front
until a big force has been raised and trained for nearly a year and has decided that for the sake of the moral effect of America's actual participation in the trench battling, a small contingent shall go forward as soon as possible. This will be soon, it is believed, although the government is mindful that nearly 500,000 tons of shipping would be required for a regular army unit of 24,000 men, and that this amount would have to be diverted from carrying food.

Beyond an officially inspired dispatch from Berlin stating that no disorders occurred in Germany during May Day the veil of secrecy which has been drawn over the situation in the central empires remains unbroken, as far as any direct news is concerned. News dispatches from the German frontier speak of great strikes and rumors pile upon rumors In regard to the growing unrest among the Teu
tonic nations but there- is little that is tangible on which to base a judgment. Everything points to a crisis of affairs in Germany and Austria but the outcome is uncertain. Demand for Reform Grows. The demand for internal reforms is growing louder, and more insistent in Germany and . the newspapers are voicing this demand with a boldness never known since the commencement of the war. The one certain thing of significance is that the German government is proceeding to unheard of lengths to prevent the outside w orld from learning the truth of the situa
tion.
It is reported that. Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg .will make a new peace offer before the Reichstag tomorrow but this is based entirely on a newspaper statement and . lacks either detail or confirmation. The storm of critcism against the chancellor is steadily growing . in . bitterness
and from all quarters is .heard the demand for a "strong man" .to . guide
