Washington—Warning the nation not to let reports of strikes and other Internal disturbances In Germany slacken its war preparations, Secre tary Baker In his weekly military re view also makes the official announce ment th%t American troops are at last holding a portion of the actual battle front For the first time, also. Secretary Baker declares that It Is fully believed the allies have a preponderance of men and guns on the western front despite the fact that the German line has been strengthened by troops from the Russian field.
