 Mrs. Bruce complained of cold and her husband gave her dose of what ne though to be quinine. She com plained of an unpleasant effect of the medicine and to reassure her, pr. Bruce took dose himself. He was immediately stricken. Mrs Bruce called for help. and when assistance reached them, she was dead and her husband was in a dying condition.

and into position.
 Nothing is available at the war depart ment to indicate the identity or number of the men in Flanders. It is prob able. however. that the national army regiment reviewed recently in London by King George is included. The infantry and machine gun units of the division to which that regiment was attached prob ably constitute this first American force to appear in the Flanders theatre.
 PUT IN TRAINING
 The men, it is noted. are described as being fin training in the British zones That is taken here to mean that they are being brigaded with British divisions in reserve and will get their final season. ing quickly through this close associa- ton with the veterans of Sir Douglas Hajg's army. Unless great emergency arises. when the German assault is re- newed it is not regarded as probable that the American battalions will be employed on the front line for sometime
 IMMEDIATE RESULTS
 The immediate result of greatest im- portance probably is that the battalions of British troops displaced in these di- visions by the Americans will be avail able to fill up other British divisions to full strength or for the organization of new British divisions. as Field Marshal Haig deems best. To that extent the Americans are acting as endorsements for the British lines.
 SOON BE IN SHAPE
 It is anticipated that a limited amount of additional training under existing con ditions will round them into shape for any work that may be assigned to them later. If the course of the German or fensive permits the same practice 1oi- lowed in training General Pershings orig inal forces probably will be carried out in Flanders. In that case the divisions with which American units have been pri- saded will be given front line duty m quiet sectors for a time until the Ameri- cans are seasoned to trench Warlare. Thersafter the divisions undoubtedly Will he used wherever the course of battle takes them. The Americans are part of the British army until it seems wise to send them to service directly under Gen. eral Pershng.

The perfect weather that has pre- vailed for several days over the entire western front has led to an unusual squadrons In these combats the enc seems to have suffered heavily and while the allies have not escaped uri- scathed. they appear to nave main tained their mastery of the air Eddie Rickenbacker. the former autoino- bile race driver, now with American flying forces on the Toul front, has added another German machine to his record.
 All along the front in France the tension under which the men are working has been reflected by the large number of trench raiding forays Nowhere has there been conflict which might be considered more than skirmish
 There have been no more reports from Rome or Vienna relative to oo- erations on the Italian front, where on Thursday the Italians made deter mined attacks on Austrian positions east of the Erenta river.
 A summary of the military tion on the western front given out by the British general staff ~states that another terrific attack by the Germans is imminent. It is indicatel that the British expect the new attack to be on as great scale as that of March 21. when the fighting was be- gun over a frcHt of 50 miles. The halt in the German assault has given the Teutons a chance to reform their shat tered divisions. it is admitted, but il also has allowed the allies to strength en their lines.
 The arrival of American troops which are coming to the battle field in large numbers. is another factor n favor of the entente allies. it is pointed out.

Announcement States Men Aiding British
 Are of New" Army

With the American Army in France, May 17.-Troops of the new American army have arrived within the zone of the British forces in northern France, and are now complet- ing their training in the area occupied by the troops which are blocking the path of the Germans to the channel ports.
 Their commander already has com- |manded American forces in trenches on the French front.
 The British officers and men who |are training the new force say the Americans are of the finest material land are certain to give most excel |lent account of themselves when they meet the Germans.
 British troops greeted the Americans not only as comrades in arms, but as warm friends, and the work of instruc- tion IS being continued in that spirit
 CHEERED BY BRITISH
 The American forces on arriving with in the British zone were cheered to the echo by the sons of Britain, many of whom bore unmistakable signs of bat tic. They had not seen Americans pe- fore. but they knew they were coming.
 The Americans, on the other hand. gained all the more enthusiasm by the heartiness of the greeting which they received.
 The last stages of their training be- fore entering the line were begun almost as soon as they reached their destination. From that point they could hear the rum kle from the not-far Gistan guns
 How long the American troops have been with the British when the news that they are making their presence felt along the line may be expected and where the homes of the men are cannot be dis closed. It is enough to say that men speaking almost every language, de- scendanls from almost every nationality, are working day and night to fit them selves to enter the line as quickly as possible.
