BOOK ON GEN. BLISS
BARES WAR DELAY
Allies Blamed for Collapse of
Plan, for Quick Transporta
tion of U. S. Army.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 29—Gen.
Tasker H. Bliss sugRested in May,
1917, a plan which would have put
en American Army of half million
men in Prance late that Summer,
Frederick Palmer asserts in "Bliss,
Peacemaker," published yesterday.
"If the allies could have united on
the plan proposed," says Col. Palmer,
"and if they had supplied the ship
ping requisite for this prompt action
to meet the demand which they con
sidered so urgent, the course of our
part in the war might have been
changed.
"We might have had an Army of
500,000 men in training in France
before the end of the Summer of
1917, or eight months before Persh
ing's total attained that number."
Gen. Bliss' memorandum, suggest
ing the plan, said in part: "I would
move all but a small part of our ι
Regular Army and ot the National !
Guard and the first 500,000 men to
Europe as rapidly as they are or
ganized, clothed and can be trans
ported. The feasibility will depend
largely upon the amount of shipping
that the allies can release for our '
steady use."
Because women of South Africa are
larger than their sisters In Europe
most of the gowns imported into the
southern country must be altered be
fore they will fit. Thus declared N. J. ,
Home, a fashion expert, in testifying
recently before the customs tariff com
missioner at Johannesburg.
HISS PERKINS SEEKS
LARGER U. S. FUNDS
Will Ask New Congress to Appro
priate More Money for
Labor Work.
Secretary Perkins is expected to seek
rom the new Congress a substantial
ncrease in appropriations for the
l.abor Department, contending the
existing budget ior the department Is
entirely Inadequate.
In seeking a new deal for her de
partment, Miss Perkins pointed out
yesterday she has only approximately
$13,500,000 to provide the machinery
for studying the needs of 30,000,000
laboring people in the United States.
Compared with other Federal de
partments, she stressed that the ap
propriations given the Labor Depart
ment over a long period of years have
been inadequate and entirely out of
proportion to the value of the work
which the department does.
The $13,500,000 for the current
fiscal year. Secretary Perkins pointed
out, is the largest the department has
