cure, especially when you are the

before receiving cur canteen sup
plies, most of us were reduced to the
necessity of smoking French tobacco
which is worse than Adams Standard
or Peerless. We don't expect to have
any trouble in the future, however,
as our company canteen has a good
supply of American tobacco and the
Y. nj. G. A. handles it.
I'VE spent % days aboard one of
Uncle Sans largest transports COM
ing across. We began to think there
was no such thing as land. We ran
into a violent storm during the trip
and two men of my company and
three sailors were washed overheard.
There was not a chance to- save them.
The last few days we had a convoy
of American d~estroyers. We felt
pretty safe after they picked us up.
The last day before we had yet sight
ed land we were greeted by two
French hydroplanes, which, / sup
pose, were scouting about looking for
submarines.
I'VE have had many disagreeable
things to contend with since making
port, such as being transported in
bow cars and third class coaches
without heat; eating canned beef and
hard tack until securing our rations;
hiking through snow and later mud
which is worse than the gumbo of
South Dakota. Things are looking
more cheerful now, however. We are
having regular spring weather and
these warm days will soon dry up the
roads. We work hard, but are well
fed, and | haven't a thing to COM
plain of.
There is much real talent among
the troops here and nearly every
evening an interesting program is

TO RUSH MEN ACROSS
War Department Gives Troops
Right of Way.
Loading Time Cut-Dutch Ships to
Serve-Draftees, Regulars and
Guards to Alternate.

Washington, March 2O.-Tens of
thousands of national guard and Ma
tional army troops will be rushed to
France during the spring months as
the consequence of a new speeding
up policy adopted by the war depart
mert.
The movement Of troops to France
has slackened p%erceptibly in the last
two months, the principal reasons
being the delays In bunkering ships,
causing a congestion Of supplies at
seaboard, and the decision of the
war department, based on the recon-
mendation OF General Tasker H.
Bliss, American military representa-
tive on the Allied war council, to
send supplies ahead of troops.
Given Right Of Way.
Troops are now to be given the
right of way, and with increased
transport facilities the war depart
ment will be able to rush soldiers to
France faster than at any time since
the United States entered the war.
Taking owe the Dutch ships will add
thousands OF increased tonnage for
transport of troops. The first ships of
the new merchant feet have been
launched on the Pacific coast and will
be commissioned in May. Aside from
these increased shipping facilities, i'm
provements In handling ships now In
transport service have increased the
carrying capacity OF troop ships.
Cuts Loading Time.
The time OF loading ships and OF un-
loading and ~reloading them has been
cut in half through economies insti-
tuted by General George w. Goethals,
who as chief Of storage and transpor-
tation; handles ship loading, and
through improvement Of terminal con-
iitions at French and British ports.
These improvements have cut from 10
TO 20 days from the round trip time.
Regulars, Guards and Draftees.
National army and national guard
troops will be alternated in the move
nent of troops to France in line with
he war departments policy to make
an equal distribution of draft, guard
and regular troops In organizing divi-
sions into corps In France.
