AWAITING FIRST MILLION
UNITED STATES SOLDIERS

ing the conference, the representa-
tives of the two governments bent to
work to speed up the realization of
the premiers hopes and aspirations.
Foremost under discussion was the
British plea for acceleration of Amer
ica's concentration of fighting men
at the front. From Lloyd-George's
words it was evident England hopes
for all speed in this mobilization
Like Britain" the premier said,
"the United States is pacific power
and she. therefore, has had to build
up a war organization from the start.
In doing so she can learn from many
mistakes which Britain made. Two
of the most urgent matters today
are man power at the fronts and
shipping.
"The collapse of Russia and the
recent reverses of Italy make it even
more imperative than before that the
United States should send as many
troops as possible across the Allan
tic as early as possible. am anxious
to know how soon the first million
men can be expected in France
The premier detailed the allies
needs in airplanes, food and SUD
plies and reiterated the necessity for
closest cooperation In the war.

THOROUGH CLEANING UP
OF KANSAS OIL FIELDS

The largest raid so far reported was
at Augusta, Kansas, where twenty
two were arrested. Several leaders
for that district and a large amount
OF literature were taken. Many other
arrests were made during the night
in the Augusta and Eldorado oil held
districts, which has been the center
of l. w. w. disturbances.
Throughout the state citizens are
lending the authorities every aid IN
an effort to "clean up" the state. For
several weeks agents of the depart
ment of Justice have been watching
the operations Of the agitators and
have been laying the plans for the raid
now under way.

when it was supposed every
ounce of Britain's strength
was concentrated in Flanders.
Since the battle of A1ras, the
Cambria sector has dozed in
peace and quiet. The line
seemed impregnable. The Ger
mans had heard that so often
they were certain Of it. They
were confident that it would
take weeks Of high explosive
shell preparation and wire cut
ting expeditions, as well as un-
precedented barrages to do the
trick.
So they dozed and slept and
took life easy in the German
lines. There was practically no
artillery fire felt from the Brit
ish side -"the Engli S h +
swein" were too busy with
their concentrated guns at
Passchaendaele an d besides
they didn't have enough guns
to concentrate, so why worry
that must have been the Ger
man psychology. No more ut
terly demoralized human be-
ings in the world were seen
than these same sleekly conf
dent Boches as they crawled
from their dugouts, sleep bare
ly out of their eyes, at the
sound of crunching, numbering
.iuggernauts above them-to
find British soldiers swarming
everywhere. They raised their
arms in shrilling cries Of kan
Grad, kamerad, :" and fled hith-
er and thitller, dazed and ter

fired a shot in this battle were
