WASHINGTON, May 3.-Sentiment
in favor of sending at the earliest
possible moment an American expedi-
tionary force to the battle front in
France is growing rapidly. In official
circles il was admitted that orders for
assembling the initial units for SER
vice in the battle front are expected
to be issued soon. Just when the ex-
petition will sail or from where it
VIII be sent will, for obvious reasons,
remain profound secret.
The series Of conferences between
the French and British commissions

-inue and there has been earnest dis
cussion of the appalling losses suf
fered and the ground gained in the
'ecent offensive. The plan which the
staff will place before the president
for the first expeditionary force calls
for mostly regulars under the COM
mand of Gen. Scott.
The general staff has been told that
the entente lost $4,000 men on the
western front in the last two weeks
fighting.
Although the majority of the expedi-
tionary force would come from the
regular army some of the crack state
guard regiments would be utilized. All
captains of the regular army may be
promoted to majors to replace those
promoted to higher ranks. The recent
West Point graduates may be promot-
ed to captains, while the lieutenants
would come from the officers reserve
training camps.
