AMERICAN FORCES WILL BE BRi
cADEp WITH BRITISH TROOPS
TO AID IN TRAINING.
TO HAVE 30 DAYS TRAINING
Believed This viii BE Sufficient -
Fit v. s. Soldiers for Active Par
ticipation In Great Struggle
Wagino In PIcsrdy.

Washington.-The transportation OF
American troops to France already Il
proceeding at the accelerated rate con.
templated by the speeding up meas
ures taken after the battle of Picardy
began. Acting Secretary CroweiI
made this statement, but would give
no details.
For military reasons the extent OF
the increased troop movement has not
been made public.
Following the conferences between
Secretary Baker and allied officials,
orders were given under which Brit
ish official statement was issued say
ing that American forces were to be
brigaded with British troops in order
to hasten American participation in
the war. officials explained that the
process to be followed was similar to
that adopted In placing American
troops in the front lines with the
French for training.
It has been estimated that 80 days
training of this character, with Amerf.
can battalion units assigned with the
British organizations, will fit the new
comers for active duty at the front.
All divisions now moved from this
side are composed Of men who have
had several months of preliminary
training and who need only final In
struction to take their full share In the
fighting.
The training process VIII. be quick
or with the British than with the
French. 1t is believed. because tho
language difficulty does not exist.
American units will find every British
veteran an instructor and there will
be no need for interpreters.
1t was indicated that the new plans
call for a more extensive training
scheme with the British army than
has been the case with Gen. Pershing's
original force. There probably will be
no attempt to set up purely Ameri-
can force within the British ranks, cs
has been done with the French.
The Americans are to be withdrawn
when trained and turned over. They
will share fully with their British corr
rades the battles on their front aad
the belief here is that they will lot
be withdrawn as long as there is press
ing need for their service with the
British lines.

FROM JAMES HUGHES

The Review has been handed let
tef from James Hughes, somewhere
in England, which was written to his
relatives here. James is in the aero
squadron and has recently had the
honor of being with the first squadron
to be received by the king.
Somewhere in England,
May S, 1918.
Dear Folks:
l am at the Y. M. C. A. tonight so
am writing to you. 1t is near closing
time so will have to make this letter
short. l am getting along fine.
The other day we were reviewed by
the king and queen and were shown
around through the palaces and then
had tea. The princess and her two
cousins served the tea. Some honor,
wasn't it? Next week we are to have
tea at the home of the Princess Alice
on some island around BosenO. We
were the first American squadron to
be received by the king.
How is everything getting along on
the farm? Is the country scarce OF
help this year?
must close now, with lots of love.
Yours. James E. Hughes,
1853 Aero Squadron, A. E. F.

ns and our children" were Gag er tc
coo with their own eyes that tn vic
.;n, NJ their hate received the sen
tance which had been called &C, 'ucify
Him." 49,
Jesus Christ, the Sem OF God. the
man upon whom all tn Is hatred was
displayed, what of Him at this tt me:
Did He have hatred and resentm en'
in His heart? His feeling toward 'tne
mad mob are shown in His wor Us
"Father forgive them, for they kn0 W
not what they do" None b, 1t one with
a divine spirit could have uttered
these words at such time. With all
the pain and agony upon Him, Jesus
did not fail to note the presence OF his
mother and the groupe OF friendly
women and John His faithful disciple.
There was a voice heard above that
of the rable saying woman behold
thv son: son behold thy mother" and
the record says from that day onward
the woman had the care of the man
to whose keeping she had been en-
trusted.
Harken, there are words from those
nailed on the crosses. One OF the
men seems joining in the revilings Of
the mob and the other utters words
of rebuke saying that two OF them
we're but suffering for their crimes,
hut the third was innocent. Now
there is the humble request showing
faith in the divine nature OF Jesus,
asking that the speaker be remember
ed when He came to Paradise. Not
withstanding His own agonies Jesus
needs the plea from His fellow suffer
er and gives the gracious promise
that that very day there would be
meeting in another place when the
present torment was over.
There will be no attempt here to
give all the words of Jesus when on
the cross. Time goes on pace,
strange things are happening. A.
though midday there seems remark
able darkness coming on. Some OF
those looking are beginning to have
some misgfvings as ia the part they
have been taking in events, there does
not seem so much satisfaction after
all, in seeing the central figure die.
Those of Jewish religion were anxious
for it all to be over. AS showing the
character of the men, they arose to
the thought that such transactions as
this were not what they would like on
their holy day, near at hand. Curious
indeed is the human heart and brain.
Partakers in one of the greatest
crimes of the centuries, their hearts
inflamed with bitter hate, yet they
we're sensitive to breaking of a man
made provision of their religious re-
quirements.
The dear precious Jesus was to
drink the cup of woe to the very dregs.
It would seem as if at this hour the
supporting arms of the Almighty God
we're removed, and the sufferer cries
out my God, Ny God, why hast thou
lforsaken me Assurance must have
come for soon the end came, with
those immortal words Father, into
THY hands I commend my spirit" The

was the Son of God"
Darkness, earthquakes, opening the
graves and other gre; It physical dis
turbances now were Sc zen. Those who
came in hate now fled from the scene
in terror, anywhere to, rid themselves
OF their seeming share in the event
of the day. Guilt, rernorse, conscious.
ness OF wrong doing pressed down.
There was an air of the supernatural
which drove terror into the hearts of
those wretched self righteous Jews,
both high and low. Such feelings will
sometimes come to all who defy Jesus
the Son of God.
We quoted not many weeks ago the
treat words setting forth the mission
ot Jesus on the earth A part of these
re ad Give His lif as a ransom for
m any" Included in that many" are
all who are ready to accept Jesus as
the If ransom. We cannot now undo
the deeds of that fearful day back
neal. Fly twenty centuries ago, but we
can see in them our salvation from
sin and spiritual death, and resolve
that the sacrifice on the cross shall
not h ave been made in vain as far as
our own individual case is concerned.
May the study of this lessen deepen
our conviction that Jesus was truly
the Son. of God, our ransom, and accept
Him as such for all time.
