PERSHING HAS
CAMP READY
FOR u. S. ARMY
American Troops to Take
Line South of st.
Quentin

Washington, June 26. - The War
Department has received complete re-
ports from Major General John j.
Pershing on what has been accom-
plished in preparation for American
regulars in France.
The American generals three weeks
of labor have borne fruit to an almost
unbelievable degree. 1t became known
yesterday that the department. has
been informed a great base camp for
the Americans already is ready and
every detail for their reception and
transportation TO the front has been
worked out.
General Pershing has been working
from 9 o'clock in the morning to all
hours of the night and has been in
almost constant communication with
Marshal Joffre, according to these dis
patches. Marshal Joffre has devoted
almost his entire attention for the last
few weeks to preparations for the
american contingent, and the utmost
speed has been attained in making
everything ready.
The American base win be south OF
st. Quentin, historic in the stories of
the war on the western front. The
second line of that neighborhood will
be turned over to Pershing as soon
as he has sufficient first line troops
OF reserves to hold it.
on the basis of these reports, the
War Department was doing its might
lest yesterday TO make the forces nee
essary available at the earliest pos
sible moment.
In connection with the Navy Depart
ment and shipping board, great
transport system is being organized
whereby the entire fleets of merchant
men will be turned over TO the War
Department for one voyage at a time.
Many of them are German vessels
seized at American ports upon the
declaration of war. They are fast
and have large passenger accommoda- :
tions. II is felt that their withdrawal
from the cargo trade for one
voyage every two months or so will
not interfere with the shipment of
Plentiful supplies to the allies.
The departments plans for supply
ing men TO go on these transports are
we'll along. This movement is expect
ed to be complete by September l.
This will mean about 375, 900 Ameri-
can troops-all trained men. or. at
least, a well-balanced force of train
ed men and recruits-before winter
In the spring the great overseas
movement of draft forces will be ready
to begin if necessary.
