UP INJFRANCE Indications American Troops Soon Will Be Holding Portion of Line Against Blows . of Germans. (By Associated Press.) . - n Washington, Jan. 24 While declin ing to comment directly upon the statement attributed to President Wil son, that there will be twice as many American soldiers abroad next June as had ben originally planned, Sec retary Baker said today; "The program of the department has been a constantly developing one, and many difficulties and limitations have been removed or overcome.. I cannot discuss numbers of men , m France or anticipated to be in France at any particular time, but we have made substantial progress." , When General Pershing sent his first battalions into the trenches with veteran French troops, formal an nouncement of the fact was made here, coupled with the explanation that these were rounding out their training course. A similar announce ment either directly from General Pershing or from the department is expected when American troops finally take over whatever sector of the battle lines they, are destined to fight in. I Recent press dispatches from Gen eral Pershing's headauarters have shown that a considerable part of his force, at any rate, was now regarded as fully trained. There have been no hints dropped as to when the Ameri can 'front would be established, but the impression is gaining strength here that the day is not far distant. London Money. , . London, Jan. 34.
