and Miss Cram will be of considerable
advertising value and will doubtless

your city.
Yours very truly,

Washington.-Final plans for the

division overseas.
Gen. Pershing called at the White

son set forth very plainly his views
concerning the part the United States
forces must play.
| Gen. Pershing knows just what Will
be expected of him in France. The
uses to which the first American force
will be put were worked out at the
recent conferences between admins
tration officials and the French and
British missions. Other conversations
between the president and Marshal
Joffre brought out broader details or
these plans.
1t was late when Gen. Pershing left
the White House. Before he did sc
1t was reported on high authority that
before Gen. Pershing leaves for
France, or very soon after he arrives
1 there, he will receive the rank of lieu
tenant-general. This will require the
approval of Congress, and it is ex
pected President Wilson will send ms
name to the Serate within a few days
With his present rank, Gen. Perish
ing would be junior to all the generals
now in command of forces at or near

guese. The policy of the administra
ton is to confer senior rank on al
