.. S. TROOPS MOVING FAST
sAMMlES POURING INTO FRANCE
IN A STEADY STREAM.
Hardly Expected, However, That
America Can Send One Million
s0LlERs WITHIN YEAR.

Washington, Nov. %. - United
States first million troops with the
rush stamp desired by Premier
Lloyd George of England, are steadily
pouring into France.
But with the utmost driving power
now behind the munitions and ship
ping program and the training of
American soldiers in cantonments, a
million can scarcely be fully equipped
within year. It requires at least 10
tons of shipping constantly in use 20
supply each fighting man. Experts
doubted that America would have
more than 100000 tons before 1919.
Agree With British. -
But officials agree with the British
premier that the situation in Russia
and Italy demands a vast volume of
fighters from the United States for
the knockout on the western front.
Military chiefs today, counting on
l 500, 900 Sammies trained or in train.
ing already, predicted two million
more would be placed in class one Of
the next draft.
How many other millions America
must furnish is problematical. An
official opinion given the United Press
today was that the country never
draw beyond the middle of class two
of the new draft system.
Details Not Permissible.
Voluntary censorship prevents pub.
lication of the present strength OF
the American expeditionary forces.
But there has been tremendous in
crease since the. first Sammies under
Pershing. were landed. Inadvertent
leaks of national guard officers abroad
gave the public a hint Of the batter
ing ram Pershing is constructing over
there of militia, regulars and marine
divisions .-4<=-

o0ID-PACK FOODS ARE NOT
POISONOUS

IO1SONOO8
Denying assertions which have been
taken from medical journal and cir
culated widely, DR.. H. L. Lang, in the
government service, says:
''TGere is no danger that the type
of food poisoning known as @Botul-
ISM will result from eating fruits or
vegetables which have been caned
by any of the methods recommended
by the United States department. Of
agriculture, providing that such direc-
tions have been followed carefully
and that no canned goods are eaten
which show any signs Of spoilage. In
case Of doubt as to whether the con-
tents of particular can have spoiled,
the safest plan is to throw it awav,
although all the danger from botulism
may be avoided by boiling tho con-
tents Of the can for a few minutes,
since the bacillus botulinus and tho
toxin or poison which it produces arc
killed by such treatment. No canned
goods Of any kind which shows visi-
Bile signs Of spoilage should ever be
eaten.
In the cold-pack method Of con-
ming, approved by the department Of
agriculture. only fresh vegetables are
recommended for canning, and sterili-
zation is accomplished by the follow
ing processes: Cleansing, blanching,
cola dipping, packing in clean and
hot jars, adding boinng water, seal
ing Immediately, and then steri];zing
the sealed jars at a minimum temper
aturo Of 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit for
from one to four hours, according to
the character Of the material. Since
tho spors Of the bacillus botulinus are
killed by heating for one hour at IT'S
degrees Fahrenheit, there is no reason
to believe that the organism will sur
vive such treatment.
VAe fact is, as DR.. Lang says else
where, "there are fewer cases Of pois-
oniag from bacillus botulinus than
from any other form of food poison.
ing. The chances of infection from
i are not SO great even as those OF
setting lockjaw from pin-scratch. -

peared.

Haig has broken the Hindenburg line.
At various points on front over
about 35 miles between st. Quentin
and the: River Scorpc, the British
commander-in-chief reports his troops
have smashed their way for a dis
ta,lce Of between four and five miles
through. the first defenses of. the
vaunted fIindenburg defenses. >
The second line-more than a mile
behind the preliminary defenses -
was also stormed by the victorious
Ton,n1ies
Tanks battered down the German
lefenses, crumbled away some of the
artfully contr1ved German cement
emplacements and ponderously drove
forward, in advance of the artillery.
cambrai Almost in Grasp.
Cambrai is now almost in the hands
Of the British.
The importance of the victory can
not as yet be fully estimated.
Not only has the Hindenburg li:ie
been penetrated and at least two of its
lines utterly destroyed, but the Brit
isl now directly menace the main
German line of communications
Douai; Cambrai and St. Quentin.
Surprise Is Complete.
T The surprise of the British drive,
coupled with it's overpowering force.
was 50 complete and the German de.
moralization so utter that official re-
ports did not attempt to estimate the
number of prisoners taken nor the
quantity of guns, supplies and ammu-
milton.
The attack was begun without artil-
lery preparation. Field Marshal Hafg
reported that his great blow, aimed
suddenly on the Arras~St. Quentin
line, had gained this great victory
'over the whole 'front.'"
Advance Five Miles,
British assaulting waves passed
through the German lines to a depth of
between four and five miles, over a
very wide front. -
Thousands of prisoners and q great
number of guns were taken.
British troops must now be within
sight Of Cambria, since before the
drive. the old lines were only eight
miles distant from there.
There was every evidence that the
enemy was utterly paralyzed by the
tremendous force of the British blow
no less than it's surprise. There had
been no fighting of any magnitude on
tho Arras-St. Quentin sector since
early in the summer.
Biggest Gain Since Marine.
In many circles here the victory
Was hailed as perhaps the most im
portant military stroke achieved by
the Allies since the battle of the
Marne. -...
Actual penetration of the Hinden
burg line, which Germany has boast
ed was completely impregnable and
which her militarists have led the
people to believe would forever bal
the allied progress, may be expected
to have powerful effect on German
morale in the field and at home.
