BOSTON. Sept. 19.-The Japanese mission today saw an American army in the making. As the final event of their New England tour the visitors motored forty miles to the national army cantonment at Aver, where a great military city has sprung up al most over night.
 Long troop trains were rolling in with the first arrivals of the 40 per cent quota of the draft. One car bore the placard: From Berlin, N. H. to Berlin, Germany"
 Recruits trudged along with suit cases, swinging their hats and cheering when they saw the automobiles marked with the banner of Japan. The mili- tary members of the mission com- mented on the good spirits of the men.
 The run to the camp was partly over the route taken by Paul Revere on his memorable ride, and along the road followed by the retreating British troops as they fell back before the

Bombardment by the British artil- lery of the German lines in the Ypres sector in Flanders continued most in- tense but there has peen no infantry movement in force An attack on larger scale than the usual daily raids probably is imminent
 3erlin apparently is much exercised over the ever-increasing volume Of shells from the British big guns. From the Houlthost wood, northeast of Npres to the river Lys, on the Belgo- French border, Berlin reports the Brit ish force has been destructive. Field Marshal Hag's artillery increased it's volume of shots to drum fire several times. At several points from the Aisne valley to Lorraine, the French have made raids into the German de lenses. Here, too, the expenditure of ammunition is great, especially on the Aisne front and northeast of Verdun.
 The Italians have been more active on the Trentino front, harassing the enemy with raids and strong artillery fire. In a forward movement near CarzanO, in the Sugana valley, east of Trent, the Italians captured 200 pris- Oners. Austro- Hungarian attacks on the Bainsizza plateau continue but General Cadorna's men have held them for no gains.

 The smallest number of British yes sels of more than 1900 tons sunk in one week since last February is shown in the weekly statement from the British admiralty which reports the loss of eight of the large size. There is a decided increase however. in the smaller sized ships, twenty of these being lost through mines or sub marines.
 The American steamer Platuria of 3,445 tons, owned by the Standard oil company, has been torpedoed with the loss of her master and eight members of the crew. The sinking of two Ger man submarines is reported unofficial Iy from Norway.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-While mobliZat tion of the first major incre- ment of the national army was pro ceeding throughout the country, Sec retary Baker and the chiefs of the war department appeared before the senate appropriation committee to present requests for an additional s2S741G000 with which to provide equipment for a total force of 2,300,- 900 men.
 Included among the items is the ordnance equipment for the next 500,- 900 men of the national army, al- though the 300000 or more men on the move today toward the training cantonments are only half of the first call

 Every essential for the health and comfort of the men has been provided for. They will be fed and sheltered without difficulty and their arms. uniforms and the balance of their war equipment will be ready for them as rapidly as they are ready to 1 use it.
 There are busy days ahead at the cantonments. Not only must the men | be examined by military doctors and l finally accepted for army service but 1 they must be organized immediately i into provisional companies for ad ministrative purposes and to make | pohsible their final assignments to infantry. cavalry or artillery or to

 Pending the time when the fight | ing forces of the national army be- gin to take shape. it is not essential that full uniform equipment be avail

THREE PINNED ID EARTH BY JAR AT
 CURVE IF DEATH

Driving the famous Pathfinder" car in which Erwin G. Baker made his record ocean to ocean ride about two years ago, Oscar Pemberton, foreman of the Kingsbury ranch near Tempe, failed to successfully negotiate Death Curve" one mile west of the Tempe bridge at o'clock yesterday afternoon and sent the machine tumbling over and over down the embankment at that point Mrs. PembertOn, her nine months old daughter, Georgia, and their nephew Johnnie Pemberton, aged fourteen son of MT. and Mrs. w. W. Pemberton, of West Jackson street, this city, were passengers with Oscar Pemberton. With the exception of Johnnie who jumped clear of the ma chine as it left the roadway, all were pinned under the car when it came to a stop bottom side up.
 Following closely behind Oscar, were two other cars carrying members of the Pemberton family. In the first of these cars were Frank and George Pemberton, brothers of Oscar. In the second was Mrs. W. M. Pemberton, of this city. The occupants of both of these cars witnessed the accident and were at once on hand to render aid. The overturned car was raised from the prOstrate bodies of Oscar, his wife and their baby and then the three who had sustained painful bruises and pos sibly internal injuries were placed in the car driven by Frank Pemberton and in almost record time brought to this city to the office of DT. Grant $. Monical Later they were removed to their homes. Johnnie Pemberton was the only one of the four not re- quiring medical attention.
 Yesterday had witnessed a sort of reunion of the Pembertons, for George Pemberton had been called into the service of his country and was due to leave with the MaricOpa county con tingent last evening. As the hour ap- preached when George must report in Phoenix, the three machines started from Tempe. They did not engage in race but proceeded in an orderly fashion, the Pathfinder in the lead.
 As the famous car in it's new coat of green paint took the perilous curve where so many accidents have occur red something went wrong with the steering gear and before Oscar could recover control of the machine had jumped from the road and started down the embankment. Johnnie Pemberton took in the situation almost instantly and jumped into the sand and escaped unhurt. When Mrs Pemberton was taken from under the car 1t was found that she was nearly
