that they are part of the force when

General Pershing and for whose ar-
rival the general and his staff have
been arranging ever since they land
ed on the other side. The Ame"l-
can troops will be an entirely lnde-
pendent command. just as are the
British troops. working, of course,
with the French AT the head OF opera

When the troops have had their

battle front. to be arranged by Gen
eral Pprshiag. in consultation with
the other military chiefs there, and
probably will very soon be carrying
