U. 5. LEARNING
WAR FROM FRANCE

Paris, May 1.-THE movement OF
American troops to Mexico brings to
notice the fact that ten United States
army officers, representing all branches
of n service, are on duty in France
for instruction in French military
training. They are here by pefmis-
sion Of the French government, given
upon request of the United States and
are welcomed in the f~riendliest spirit.
1t appears to be the intention of the
war department at Washington to have
six officers continuously on service in
France so that French experience and
year to year be available for the
United States army. Occasionally an
English off1ce or officers from the
Balkan and other smaller states have
had permission to serve with one or
another of the French regiments, but
it would seem that no foreign army,
not even the Russian, has during this
generation had such opportunities to
known the French military system as
the Americans now have.
