July 13.—America has now shipped 1,100.000 men overseas. The rate of recent months is being maintained. Al¬ ready three army corps of about 250.000 men each have been or¬ ganized from the men sent abroad. These facts came from General March, United States army chi^f of staff, today in conferences with senators and newspaper men, —an answer to German Chancellor Hertling's peace feelers. Hertling suggested the allies put forth peace proposals. March retorted with the figures and the succinct comment: "The delay in the general offensive obviously permits large increase in the number of American troops in France." He viewed the week's operations as of minor nature with un¬ varying success to allied arms. The single striking advance was the ItaHan-French smash on the Macedonian,front backed by British and Italian coast monitors. The first American army corps consists of two regular divisions and four national guard divisions, as follows: First regular, under General BuUard. Sacund regular, under General Bun- dy.

RUSSIA DEMANDS AID FROM ALLIED POWERS Washington, July 13.—Impatience ; OTsr th» American-allied handling of ! the Busslan problem burst out openly j hsrs today.

' Senator Borah advocated action now. but stated clearly bis remarks should not be construed as favoring Japanese iotsrv-eation. Vast confusion in reports out of Kussla is hadly muddling the Ameri- caa. Allied program of aid. Out of the aifterent (actions in Rus¬ sia and from Russians in the United States have suddenly sprung widely esonflicting %news of the nature of help desired. Added to this are conflicting reports on the situation in that coun¬ try which are giving pause to the care¬ fully formulated program of asslst- anca. A statement issued st the Russian embassy warned thst the Bolshevlki. German suppression of the recent counter revolutionary movement in Moscow shows that .sincere anti-Ger¬ man feelings In Russia cannot pre\-all without open Allied sid. It added that Crech-Slovak trtwps fighting in Siberia will soon b« faced with annihilation by Increasln^y strong German-Bolshevikl forces and the governments set up by loyal Russians in the wake of the Czech movement will be massacred, if Allied intervention is not hastened.

July 1 3.—Power to take over the nation's tele¬ graph, telephone, radi'o and cable lines now rests m the hands ol President Wilson. Climaxing a week of stormy debate, the Senate tonight passed unamended and by a vote of 46 to 16 the resolution authorizing tb« President to assume control of the communication lines whenever he deems it necessary. The Hotise had previously passed the measure and the resola" tion now goes to the President for his signature. Here is how the Senate voted on the measure: Affirmative—Ashurst, Bankhead. Bennett. Colt. Curtis. Fletch¬ er. Henderson. Hitchcock. Johnson. California; Jones, New Mexico; Jones. Washington: Kendrick. Kenyon. King. Knox. Lenroot. Lewis. McKellar. Martin. Myers. Nelson.

Underwood, Vardaman. 1 Negative—Borah. Brandegee, Fermald. France. Frelinghuysen. Hale. Harding, Kellogg. McCumber. New. Penrose, Sherman. Smith. Michigan; Smoot, Wadsworth, Watson. No FavoriUsm. With adoption of the wire control measure, it was confidently predicted by Congressional authorities that the Presiderit would lose no time in taking over the lines. Millions of miles of wire, thousands of men and millions of dollars are involved in the proposed action. Postmaster General Burleson, in whose hands control may be placed, would keep the present^wire organizations more or less in¬ tact, developing an operating organization similar in principle to that now running the railroads under federal control.. "If I am called upon to select a man to direct this work," said Burleson today, "you may absolutely depcrd upon it that I will select a man who will give every one a square deal. There will be no fav¬ oritism shown to anyone. "As for any fear of censorship of press association wires. I wish to say emphatically that if the President turns this work over to me. I will be the last man to stand out against any censorship. In fact, I say positively that 1 do not propose to interfere in any way with the conduct of this or any other branch of the business to the detriment of those involved." There have been strong intimations this week, however, that the he \vould not allow unanimous consent! lights, about forty-two in number, ex- President would place operation of the lines with the United States Signal Corps. This branch of the army has been carrying on a de¬ tailed inquiry into the operation of all wire companies and press as- scxiiations for some days. Only On« Telephone. Merging of competing telephone lines in nearly 100,000 cities and towns will be one of President Wilson's first uses of power grant¬ ed him in the wire control resolution. Congressional leaders were in¬ formed today. Philadelphia and Cleveland are two of the largest cities where the order will go into effect at an early date. A double telephone system is one of the national extravagances which must give way for war time conditions calling for strict econ¬ omy on the part of business throughout the country. Telegraph competition, they believe, does not materially better service and only serves to force the subscriber to help pay two sets of operating costs instead of one. - ^ Under the merger, business houses which have been forced to keep two switchboards will need only one in the fuutre. The fact that telephone combination will also release a iarge number of men and women workers for necessary war work was also a factor in the President's decision, it is stated. One wire repair gang will serve where two served before. The wiping out of competition will do away With the necessity of each company keeping a large force of solicitors in its employ. Duplications of branch exchanges and central offices will be done away •with, although this step, which carries with it the possibili¬ ty of cutting down the number of operators, will not be taken im¬ mediately. Exchange Service. The first order which goes out to competing companies will probably tell them that they must interchange service. After this, government telephone experts will be set to work rearranging equip¬ ment until the country's whole telephone system is run as a single unit. The proposed merger, officials here held, will help solve the question of new equipment which has been the excuse of numerous companies for failure to shoulder added burdens imposed by war¬ time conditions. It is probable that merger of the two great telegraph companies will closely follow the telephone merger, although it is understood that nothing has been definitely decided. Friends of permanent gov¬ ernment ownership here today pointed to the wire administration's plans as an understanding that the wires will never go back into pri¬ vate hands. Unscrambling of the lines following the war will be impossible, they hold, if present plans are carried out. Secretaries Baker. Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson all have come out for permanent government ownership. The vote tonight foUowed a day of stormy debate in which many senators declared they would refuse to go further in granting powers to the government. Senators Reed, Wadsworth and Watson asserted the result of giv- t ing the government power over communication lines will be estab¬ lishment of a bureaucracy, which will never be gotten rid of. Wadv worth persisted that the policy of government control inaugurated going home and leave unfinished busi¬ ness- Majority Leader Kitchin will again ask unanimous consent for a recess on Monday.

ADEQUATE ANSWER TO GERMAN PROPOSALS
Waahington. July 13.—America has now shipped 1,100.000 men overseas. The rate of recent months is being maintained. Al¬ ready three army corps of about 250.000 men each have been or¬ ganized from the men sent abroad.
These facts came from General March, United States army chi^f of staff, today in conferences with senators and newspaper men, —an answer to German Chancellor Hertling's peace feelers.
Hertling suggested the allies put forth peace proposals. March retorted with the figures and the succinct comment: "The delay in the general offensive obviously permits large increase in the number of American troops in France."
He viewed the week's operations as of minor nature with un¬ varying success to allied arms. The single striking advance was the ItaHan-French smash on the Macedonian,front backed by British and Italian coast monitors.
The first American army corps consists of two regular divisions and four national guard divisions, as follows:
First regular, under General BuUard.
Sacund regular, under General Bun- dy.
Twenty-sixth, (New England) Na- UoaaJ Guard, under Ganeral Mencher.
