Washington. d. c., April i7-Sweep-
ing ally victories on the western bat

terest in the great international con-
ference which starts here shortly. The
manner in which French and British
alike are forcing back the German
lines emphasizes the belief in military
and diplomatic circles that danger Is
past of an enormous and sudden blow
against Russia which might over
wl:elm the new Republic and make
the task of Germany's foes far greater
than had been anticipated.

fortunate as it has been necessary tc

that Russian forces poorly disciplined

order named-rank Major General
PershIng They could not be sent 10
France to serve under Pershing, &C
COrding to army officers, unless he
we're promoted. For that reason they
have been placed in command OF the
training of new divisions. These will
be formed of draftes men. who, in the
natural order of events. would be the
last to complete their training and the
last to be ready to go to France. A
prominent officer stated that it is
ready TO go to the front legislation
will, have been enacted promoting
vrshing TO the rank of lieutenant
general or to the full grade of gen
eral.
In case Pershing is made a full
general, then Generals Wood, Bell and
Barry would be next in line for the
rank of lieutenant general. The 9TH
er major generals in the service do
not rank Pershing and could be sent
10 France with their divisions under
his command.
In the assignment of thirty-two ma
jor generals, one for each Of the ma
tional army divisions and one for
each of the national guard divisions,
recently announced by the war de
partment, all six of the department
commanders, Major Generals Wood,
Bell. Liggett, Edwards. Parker and
Barry, have been relieved Of depart
ment duties and given command OF
divisions.
There are at the present time no
officers in the army of the United
States that can take rank with the
commanding officers of the European
armies with whom they will come in
contact. AS the matter stands at
present the French generals with the
rank of field marshal, general and
lieutenant general outrank our grade
of major general, end in the case of
British general officers it is the same.
their grades corresponding to those of
the French.
1t is highly probable, therefore, that
the rank Of lieutenant general and
general will be reinstated in the
American army in order that the ques-
ton of rank will not embarrass our
commanders on the French front.

FIRST Aid and Hospital Units
Always on Hand to Keep

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, August (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press.)-In
war the question of .wastage of ma
terial is second only to that of men.
Armaments become rapidly unse.vice-
able through old age and casualties,
the big guns most of all. For gun
casualties a regular system of hoSpi-
tails exists.
The first aid station is in the bat
terry itself, where, much as a medical
orderly keeps a supply of medicine
and bandages. a trained artificer
keeps a supply of tools and spare
parts. lie can deal with any trifling
accident that may occur, or replace
any small part that may be broken.
The modern gun or howitzer is a COM

attention the artificer supplies.

Venient shed. The whole is trans.
ported on motor trucks, but the work
is not carried on in the trucks. There
is compact oil engine and dynamo,
to be bolted down to a hastily con.
structed foundation. There are
lathes. milling machines, every sort
of machine tool that is to be found
in a general engineering shop The
whole concern requires about two
days to set up and put in running
order. Nearly everything except Ger,
tain intricate repairs can be per
formed here, and it is rarely neces,
sary~ for wounded gun to proceed
any further.
But, for the accommodation of real
ly bad cases, there are few heavy
mobile workshops" where anything
that is susceptible of repair may be
dealt with. These are equipped not
only with heavier machinery than the
medium workshops" but with elab-
crate additional machinery for spe-
cial work. In addition to the big ma
chine shop, there are pattern-making
shops. wheeler's shops. a foundry.
air compressors and every sort of de-
vice to supply the needs of an army
that fights with highly scientific
weapons. The whole outfit is con.
structed so that it may be taken
down and packed into trucks drawn
by great tractor engines.
The whole system is a miracle of
organization for a war which, al.
though at present mainly one of po-
sition. may at any moment develop
into one of movement Everything,
workshops included, must be ready to
follow up an advance. Provision of
machine shops at fixed points might
meet the conditions of trench war
fare, but they would become useless
as the line of battle left them behind

HUN iIRMEN DROP
POISONED CANDY

MONTBELIARD, France. Sept. S.
Dastardly attempts on the part of the
Huns to poison little children are be-
ing continued and at times succeed
despite the precautionary orders to
the people of the town that have been
issued.
Almost daily German aircraft fly
over the city and after each such
fight candy is found in the streets.
Analysis has shown this to be poi
soned. Children have picked this
candy up, eaten of it and have been
made seriously ill.
Strict orders to prevent the con-
sumption of such candy have been
issued and steps taken to enforce the
orders rigidly.
