RECOMMENDATIONS AT ALLIES'
COUNCIL FOR WINNING WAR
ANNOUNCED BY LANSING.
POOL SHIPS TO SEND MEN
Shipping and Supplies Placed at Dis
posal of Americans and Closer
Union Between Co-Oclllger-ents
Is Assured.
Washington, Jan. 4. American
troops are to bo rushed to Europe in
as large nnd constant u stream us
Is humanly possible; the allied nations
will so arrange their shipping us to
provido the necessary transport; the
merchant shipbuilding program must
be rushed ; tiicro Is to be closer co
operation of nil the co-belllgerentH to
present a single and united front to
(ionium autocracy ; the part of the
United States has been clearly defined
and arrangements made to carry It
out.
These nre the prlnclpnl results, as
thi affect America, of the recent In-ler-allled
wtir council In Paris.
The recommendations, made by the
American delegates, of whom Col. B.
M. House, president Wilson's personal
representative, was the head, are tho
result of tho great council of heads
of nil the co-belligerents.
A definite plan was formed for more
nctive utilization of American naval
forces, and an agreement was made
with the Hrltlsh admiralty to effect
certain plans for nntl-subinnrlne war
fare. The contribution of the United
States to a pooling of war resources
was agreed upon. The arrangement
guarantees full equipment of every
kind to be avallnblo to all Ameri
can forces sent to Europe during 1018.
Arrangements wero made to have
the United States participate In mili
tary deliberation of a supremo war
council "as a step toward efllclent and
centralized unity of control of military
operations."
Plans also wero worked out where
by, In order to permit the United
States to visualize thu problem of food
control at home, Great Britain, France
and Italy agreed to establish legalized
and compulsory control of foodstuffs
In their countries.
The extent of tho military effort to
be aimed nt by the United States was
clearly determined and an allied ad
visory board was created to advise
each nation on allotments of ships so
as to permit the American mllitnry
effort to bo realized.
Through the new inter-nllled organi
zation for co-ordination of shipping re
sources arrangements have been made
to devote "tho greatest amount of
tonnage possible for tho transporta
tion of American troops."
The report as mado public by Secre
tary Lansing snys :
"A review of tho report filed with
tho department of state by Colonel
House the head of tho special war
mission which visited Great Britain
and Franco In November, shows thnt It
succeeded In its purpose of reaching
a definite working plan for tho prose
cution of the war through co-operntlon
of the government, represented at the
conferences held In Purls, In tho va
rious fields of activity and through
mnrhhnlllng the resources of tho tui
tions at war with the central powers
nnd co-ordinating their uses tinder com
mon authority, avoiding the waste and
uncertainties that arlso from Inde
pendent action.
"Tho results of the conferences were
most gratifying to this government,
first, because they Indicate that the
conferees were Inspired by tho desire
to be mutually helpful, and second,
because the agreements, which were
reached, when In full operation will
greatly Increase tho effectiveness of
the efforts now being put forth by tho
United States and the allies In the con
flict against Germany and Austria
Hungary." BUSS TO REJECT FOE'S PEACE
