ITALIAN GENERAL WILL STAY
HERE TO RECRUIT

Washington, June 5-General Gug-
lielmocti, military attache, of the Ital-
ian war mission, will remain in this
country after the departure of the
mission to supervise the operation OF
Il plan designed to solve the problems
arising from the uncertain status OF
Italian men of military age in this
country.
The question, raised upon the Unit
n! States in the war, is one of the
most important Of the work of the
commission with American represen-
tation.
Italy will not bring up the question
of whether these men could serve in
the Italian army, it is learned, and
here will be no regiment of Italo-
Americans sent to the front.
Through General Gugliemocti, how
ever, the Italian government will en-
deavor to recruit here as many Of its
unnaturalized citizens as 1t can.

OPEN FIELD TACTICS
STUDIED BY BRITISH
Open field tactics have been part
Of tho training of the new British
army ever since Its organization began
III l9lt. There has been some criticism
OF that system from time TO time on
the ground that the war would ALWAYS
be fought from trench TO trench but
for tho last few months the British
army in France hes been drilled In
open tactics almost daily The results
OF these training methods have been
apparent in the last few days. and will
undoubtedly prove still moro valuable
in the wider operations which arc un-
Iucs,ionably coming.
The correspondents saw d hi, OF field

the British troops completely outwittcd

mentary that when the war began the
officer in command Of the British unit
was young solicitor. and such a thing
leading soldiers into battle had never
entered his head. Two years Of train
ing in the school Of actual war works
its own wonders. The losses in the
recently inauGuratcd operations, which
continue to widen with time. have been
so much smaller than would be natural
