Belgian General
Praises American
Soldier Recruits

SALT LAKE CITY. July l7.--After
reviewing an infantry regiment which
had had little more than one month s
drill. General Leclercq, military chief
OF the Belgian mission, which is now
touring the west. declared that four
months intensive drilling would make
the American soldier the equal OF any
who are ready now to 30 into the
trenches
Il was particularly impressed by the
way the men have responded to
discipline" he said THE silence and
repose of the lines is the hardest thing
to achieve and WAS most noticeable
among the men l saw today"
General Leclercq was unwilling to
estimate how many American soldiers
II would be necessary to move to
France in order to insure n prompt
victory over the German forces.
"Other things are necessary as well
as men," he said. 1T liz important to
know how many big guns can be sent
over and how well the men can be
armed.

made in month, however. | should
thlnk two more months would be suf-
flcient To prepare them to be sent to
France for the first training In French
warfare and two months more than
that would make finished soldiers out
or them, the equals OF any"

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
troops have been here for less than n
week-they are not all here by any
means-and they have already made
themselves thoroly at home. so much
so that this section Of France looks
like IA little bit OF America.
The correspondent made an extend
ed visit to the encampments this
morning and found the men fit and
in good spirits and fun of praise for
the friendly cooperation of the French
people. who have willingly and gladly
given up many Of their own comforts
to accommodate the army.
Water Abundant
Water is abundant here but uncer-
tain as to purity so the troops are
adopting filtering methods by means
Of bags suspended from tripods which
astonish the local inhabitants almost
as much as the Americans ineXpli-
cable thirst for water which is un-
known to wine drinkers, many of
whom seldom touch water.
Such prisoners as are under arrest
for minor infractions of the regula-
tiops are employed each morning in
making headquarters spotless and are
bringing such a degree of orderliness
into the place that the original resi-
dents are amazed. Likewise they find
IT difficult to understand why the
soldiers take so many baths. for the
men make for the nearest stream and
dive in as soon as they are at liberty.
Training Intensive.
An even more strenuous course OF
training is in force here than at the
original camp near the landing point
of the troops. The men work IA mini
mum of eight hours daily; the officers
from II to l6, In addition they take
tremendous hikes to get into condi-
ton. Here and there one falls by the
wayside because OF exertion. but the
majority are standing the gaff in u
way that speaks volumes for the eff
cheney of the system.
Plans are rapidly developing for
regular and constant training in CO.
operation with the French troops en-
camped in this district. whose long
experience has been placed at the dis
posal of the newcomers. The French
and American headquarters are in the
same building and there is constant
cooperation between the two forces
which will soon be 80 developed that
the Americans not only will have
guidance and instruction from French
officers. but virtually there will be an
experienced trained mentor for each
trooper. The French are so enthus-
iastic about the Americans that they
even march about with American
flags attached to their bayonets.

APPROVAL OF CARTER
LEASE BAD PRECEDENT
Oklahoma Oil Men Believe
Case Will Abrogate 4,S0O-
Acre Restriction.
World Washington Bureau,
704 Metropolitan Bank Buildine


WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE ap-
proVal or the leases purchased by the
Carter Oil company OF Tulsa at the
recent sale held at Pawhuska estab-
fishes bad precedent. according to
oil men now In the national capital.
The objection to approval of the
Carter leases made to Commissioner
Sells of the Indian office was on
the ground that the Carter company
and the Prairie Oil a. Gas Co. were
owned by the same parent company,
the Standard OF New Jersey. and that
inasmuch as the Prairie Oil x Gas
the Osage nation. the Carter company
should not be allowed to make the
purchases.
James A. Veasey of Tulsa, repre-
senting the Carter company, cited the
department officials to the famous
Standard Oil dissolution decision and
II Is understood upon that showing
the leases were approved.
1t Is contended now by Oklahoma
oil men who are In Washington that
any other subsidiary oil company of
the Standard. now organized or to be
organized in the future, can bid and
buy and secure approval of additional
lots of 4,S00 acres in the Usage ma
ton, and that this precedent also
would apply to the five civilized tribes
and in effect abrogate the 4,S00-acre
restriction. which has been the occa-
sion for much contention among oil
men in the past
