 ing with the purpose of all concerned to make the American expeditionary force an American army in which each division, whether regular, Nation al Guard or National Army, cannot be distinguished in efficiency from the others. The former state troops are billeted over a wide area and are pro- nounced excellent soldiers.
 The guardsmen have been arriving in the American zone for many weeks. They are scattered somewhat, but as far as possible the units from the 'same states have been kept close to- gether, except in one case. They found the regular army had made good organizations for them and, while many are billeted in houses in French towns many have been quartered in the low wood barracks specially erected.
 The troops from the various states have been recognized by the French population and. have been welcomed 1P ifc : on arriving in billet towns wore the French red. white, and blue cockade pinned on their campaign hats. These were given to the soldiers when they landed at various ports. The troops have been set to work training for actual service at the front. In all quarters they are declared to be most enthusiastic and their soldierly qual- ities have drawn high praise from the French instructors.
 During the past few days one unit has been working with grenades and automatic rifles, while another has be- gun working out military problems m maneuvers. Another unit has been m the instruction trenches which bring them as near as possible to actual fighting conditions. Many of the 1or- mer guardsmen in training have heard guns roaring in the distance. They are all being given the same co,.rse of instruction as the first con- Lngents of regulars have undergone. @S The guardsmen are all in good health. The reason why it is not per mitted to mention units by name is that if one is mentioned, the way is open to mention all others, which means the revealing of Identification numbers and other information of inn portance to the enemy. But for the Hnformation of the relatives and fam lilies of the men. every one who sailed from the United States has arrived safely in France.

 In the removal of Dr. Llwyd from this field Hot Springs suffers dis tinct loss. He is consecrated Christian who has devoted his entire time to the local church. The Mork was enough for two men but he did it alone. The calls made on him to visit the visiting, sick Episcopalians. were many and, as his congregation is large and scattered over the en- tire city, his pastoral duties kept him very busy. The fact that there is only the one Episcopal cnurch in the city, makes the work quite heavy tor one rector.
 lDr. Llwyd has discharged his duties in a manner which has won for him the respect, the esteem and the con fidence of the people of the entire community whether of his or some other denomination.
 He has lived quietly and modestly in the community, eschewing all no toriety and ostentation. His earnest ness. his Christian humility and his manner of treating all, whether rich or poor with equal courtesy and the poor with especial consideration, have been traits that have endeared him to all and made him a popular ana beloved pastor
