transport section of the American
Field Service will be taken over by
the American arm and incorporated in
the quartermaster's department. The
ambulance sections of the same serv-

American Army Medical Corps.
In the French army, to which the
field service men have been attached,
these two sections were under one
head. that Of the automobile service.
The enlistment of the personnel Of
the ambulance sections probably Will
require some time, a. they are scat
tered along the front from the Somme
TO Alsace. The transport sections are
concentrated in a single sector, and the
work of medical examination and en-
listment can be completed soon. This
work will be undertaken by the quar-

Further along the road we found .
lone company of marines, guarding the

The only plant Of the commissary

AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY ARMY,
Sept "A trip along the line Of COM
munication of the American army re-
veals the fact that preparations are be
ing made on a big scale. Despite
few lapses, the work is proceeding on
or ahead of schedule.
The medical base, for instance, re-
ported that it had supplies to last the
army now in France at least six months,
and the base bakery is ready TO meet
much heavier demand thar is being put
on it at present Each soldier gets
eighteen ounces OF white bread day,
and one of the many overs at the base
can turn out $500 four-pound loayes in
twenty-four hours.
Leaving the bakery, we cut across a
large section of France which had seen
no American soldiers. Our army car
and the sergeant who drove it were
greeted with the greatest enthusiasm,
and even the correspondents came in
for a share Of the welcome because
they wore the American uniform. Every
French peasant can make a speech, and
most of them did There were flowers
also and no end OF huzzas and cries Of
"Vive pAmerique!" Even the smallest
children seemed to identity US at once
as Americans and to cheer accordingly.
Everywhere "Yive rAmerique"
In one village, however, the sight of
the unfamiliar uniform brought cry
of "Boche!" and everybody in the main
street, including a fat pig, ran indoors
in great alarm. Here We halted to
establish our good faith BY distribut-
ing loaves of bread we had borrowed
from the American bakery. The in
habitants regarded it with Indifference
until one old lady CHANGED to break a
loaf, and found that it was no war
bread. but plain blanc" She began
TO eat the bread as though it had been
rare cake Indeed. it was the first
white bread she ma seen in two years,
and as she ate she wept and cried, I'll
est beau
The region through which we trav-
elled, though out Of the fighting zone,
had felt the war directly enough, and
yet II had abundance of spirit left TO
welcome new ally. In one town three
children clustered about the car and
presented a bouquet of flowers to 4
large, fat reporter, because some wag
in the party had identified him as Cen
eral Pershing. Disarmed by the afa-
bility of the general one OF the chill
drcn began to boast "My father was
killed in the war" added the second
