MAJOR GENERAL WILLIAM L. SIBERT REVIEWS

American Field Headquarters in

bert of all troops of his command
in training for the trenches afford
ed military spectacle of interna-
tional significance and historic i'm
port. 1t was the first time that the
troops of this particular unit of the
American army in France had been
assembled in its entirety and the dis
play they made was deeply impress
sive.
There have been other reviews
of American troops in foreign
lands-in the philippines, Cuba, far
away Guam and Panama-but there
seemed to be an entirely new mean

The French, who have been train
ing companies and battalions of the
American army, were also surpris-
ed, and it can be truthfully stated
that there was a distinct pause of
surprise and admiration on the part
of Major General Sibert himself
when riding at the head of the staff
he reached the crest of the review
ing platform and saw his khaki
clad command drawn up in Won
derful far-flung line before him.
Attached to his staff were half
"a dozen French officers, including
the general of a famous division,
all of whom were enthusiastic in
their praise of the spectacle.
Major General Sibert and staff
slowly rode up and down before
the various regiments drawn up at
attention. The reviewing ground
was staked out with American flags

up his position the immobile army
began to move. The maneuvers

Dear DIR. Charlton:
The signal corps of the war de-
partment is now looking about for
suitable locations for the establish
ment of a number of aviation train
ing camps. A number of things are
needed to make a locality suitable
for the purpose, but the two prin-
cipal ones are plenty of land and
uniformity good weather condi

to me that we ought to be able to

Clayton, New Mexico.
Dear Sir:
Paris was saved by the automo-
bile! 1t was General Joffre's COM
Wandering of thousands of ma
chimes to quickly transport troops
that made it possible for the
French army to turn back the in
vading German horde. With the
aeroplane and the submarine, the
automobile has formed trio Of
forces which lu -, air on sea and
land have been and will be the lead
ing factors in determining the OUT
come of this great conflict.
There Is place fos thv e4tonlo-
bile at home, as well as at the
front. During these stressful times
we never know when the emer-
geny will arise here in New Mexi-
co when the automobile will be
imperatively needed.
Some time ago a letter was sent

Ger the use f their machines in the

fly him in taking The present oppor-
turity to suggest what may, he
hopes, at least be a foundation up
on which peace negotiations may
be initiated.
The proposal of basis for peace by
Pope Benedict cannot be accepted
in entirety by the Allies it is
stated. The evacuation of con-
quered territory by Germany must
come before discussion is possible.
The appeal from the Vatican to the
belligerents to agree upon peace
terms will be delicately handled.
1t is feared that Socialists and
Pacifists generally will seize upon
the proposals to create sentiment
IT conference with the enemy,
and that the Germans would then
undertake To disrupt alliance by
playing interests Of one nation
against another.
