$4,000 Americans Fighting for Allies
Will Be Available TO Train IT, S. ARM
Men in British and French
Forces Could Give Our
Soldiers Schooling.
By r. M. KERRY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Fffty thou
sand Americans, fighting in the allied
armies of France and Great Britain.
VIII be available to train an American
foreign legion" II the United States
sends troops to fight side by side with
the allied armies in Europe.
Forty thousand Americans are with
the British army at the front; 10000
more are with the French. These are
men actually In the fighting ranks and
do not include Red Cross contingents
or others not Of the fighting branch.
These men will be invaluable If the
United States government decides to
send even small "expeditionary
force" across.
When Kitchener started to build the
famous "Kitcheners army" he found
the principal obstacle in the way Of
quickly training recruits was lack Of
experienced officers and non.comm1s-
stoned officers.
OF the first British expeditionary
force which went over the channel and
helped check the German wave of In
yasion on the Marine, almost seventy
five per cent. were wiped out in the
first six months of fighting.
The little force comprised at the
most 100000 men, and Britain was left
practically without officers to train
the newly organized volunteers.
By calling back into service all men
who had served in the army and who
had been discharged, and making them
sergeants and corporals; and by util-
izing officers who had seen actual
fighting at the front-and who could
Ill be spared-"Kitchener's army" was
finally whipped into shape.
The United States government will
be fortunate in being able to obtain
the services Of plenty of Americans
who have seen actual fighting at the
front.
The number of these Americans &C.
tually exceeds the entire number of
men who saw hostilities in the Spanish.
