THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1917

ONLY 100,000 WILL BE SENT BY JANUARY 1

Lack of Transports Will Keep Huge Army on This Side of Water.

By ARTHUR 8EAR8 HENNINQ WASHINGTON, July 26. Unlew the government speedily procures sufficient troop transports the United States six months hence will have an army of 1,200.000 men "all dressed up but no place to go." Although the war department Is asking an additional $5,000,000,000 to provide for the expense of an army of 1,700,0000 which the administration expects to have either fighting or training by next summer, there is no assurance that the government will be able to send more than a third of the forces to France within the next year. This was admitted-today by a member of the army general staff. Only 100,000 by Jan. 1 "We shall not be able to send more than 100,000 soldiers to France by Jan. 1 next," he said. "Moreover, with the limited transportation facilities available, it probably would be impossible to land more than 600,000 men In France by Sept. 1, 1918. We have to have transports and more transports." Every effort Is being made to obtain ships available for transport purposes. Negotiations are In progress with Ja- , pan for the release of a number of Japanese ships from the merchant trade and- their employment as American troop-transports. Best Guardsmen Go Soon The 100,000 men which, the administration plans to send to France before Jan. 1 will be picked unit of the regular army and the national guard. ' The best of the national guard regl- ; menta which -were on -the Mexican boxIder last year will" be the flrst to go, after a few-weeks spent lmdrlllln the southern training camps. In France they will be given Intensive f training before going to the front for the spring offensive. Secretary of "War Baker-denied offl- ; dally tonight that his military obi servers have returned from the -westem front with the conviction that Hindenburg's 11ns Is impregnable. He asserted that the observers had returned "without any pessimistic-opinion as to-the final outcome."

On The Screen

WASHINGTON "Poppy," a Slznlck-Plctures tphotodrama version of the popular novel by the tame name, with Norma Talmage as the star, will be the atraction at tbe Washington theatre Friday and Saturday. This Is the third of Miss Talmadge's productions since she abandoned the programs for the broader field of the open booking system, at the head of her own company. She never has had a vehicle in which there was more scope for her versatility than in "Poppy," and it promises to be the sensation of the career of this young favorite. Murrette The new Mary Pickford production, "The Little American," at the Murrette theatre Friday, Saturday and Sunday, has been aptly termed "the star-spangled banner of photoplay art." Readily conceded to be America's favorite daughter. "Our Mary" offers a most fitting characterization of the girl from the TJ. S. A. In a subject that has particular bearing on tbe great International complications. In addition to this, the fact that the genius of the American motion picture art, Cecil B. DeMille, gives to the production the additional merit of his best efforts, makes this a most potent factor In the annals of the 1 photoplay.
