called into service in large numbers
These preparations have been made
by the Department of Commerce so
that the government will be fully
prepared in the event of a strike and

cials have given up hope that the
strike will be averted. To the con
trary, the feeling in official circles is
that the strike will be called ou,

restoration of peace between the

many is anxious to have written into
a commercial pact and it is expected
this will be taken up later through
regular diplomatic channels and at
German initiative.
No indications were available today
as, to when it might be decided to
withdraw American forces on the
Khine, or to reduce the strength of
the command. While every sugges

recalled has met with opposition
from the French and British and
from Germany, it may be found pos
sible later to reduce the force.
In any event, it is regarded as im
probable that the American force
will be withdrawn as a unit. No pro
visions lor mobilization ot transports

considered by the War department,
On the contrary, with transports ply
