U. S. War Head Reviews
BattaIion-Pays Visit to
Roosevelt in Hospital

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 19.-There was an i'm
pressive incident during the trip from
the place where Mr.. Baker spent the
night to the front. A battalion, includ-
ing men from Ohio. had been drawn up
in the village in which it was billeted
The Secretary reviewed the battalion
and, calling the men about him, gave
an informal. friendly talk. This after
noon Mr.. Baker visited the headquar-
tiers of another division. Word of his
coming had preceded him. and both
American and French infantry and
cavalry were drawn up to receive him,
while the trumpets sounded.
This place is within sound of the guns
day. Later he went into a portion OF
the trenches held by this division.
Mr.. Baker also visited Capt. Archie
Roosevelt in the hospital and congrat-
ulated him on winning the cross of
war.
Yesterday afternoon the Secretary
witnessed an especially arranged bat
camp. There were demonstrations of
the attack. the attainment of the OBJ
jective, the accompanying gunfire and
other realistic features.
During the day the Secretary met the
man who captured the first German.
The helmet of the prisoner was pre-
scented to him. Mr.. Baker accepted the
but later said the gift was too pre-
cious to keep and that he meant per-
SonAlly to present 1T to the mother Of
the man who had given 1t to him.

FOR REDUCING SIZE Of
PAPER AND PERIODICALS
Elimination of Waste a Patriotic
Duty Urged by Federal Trade
Commission.

The Federal Trade Commission urged
upon all publishers today the redue-
ton Of the size Of newspapers and
periodicals and tho elimination Of pa
per wastes as a patriotic duty.
Consumption Of newsprint and book
paper has exceeded production for
some weeks. This, coupled with the
necessity of relieving the railroads OF
all unnecessary trafhc and of conserv-
ing coal wherever possible, is given by
the commission as its reason for cur
failing use.
February figures indicate a slight
increase in the returns and free copies
of newspaper publishers over January.
Daily newspapers showed a slight re-
duction in the average number Of
printed pages while Sunday papers
showed some increase.
There was also a noticeable increase
in the returns of weekly periodicals,
which is partly accounted for by the
fact that the religious weeklies have
been separated from the others for the
first time in this report says a state
ment issued by the Federal Trade Com
mission. Daily newspapers showed a
slight reduction in the average number
Of printed pages, while Sunday news
papers showed some increase. The
magazines and periodicals showed a
considerable increase in size over the
preceding month.

material change in temperatures from
now on. although it does not promise
that there will be no more cool
weather.
Now householders will cease to worry
about coal, and turn their attention to
ice.
The animals in the Zoo will begin to
holler.
That intrepid straw hat which ap-
peared for one glorious afternoon,

doubt will venture forth again, to be

Further than this sartorial prediction,

Nearby were a few French civilians
who were decorating the graves. He
entered the cemetery and with grave,
sad face read the names on the simple
monuments. While he was there a
burial SQUAD of Americans marched in
with the body of comrade. The Secre-
tary halted turned back and stood with
barred, bowed head, while the body OF
his compatriot was laid at rest win
simple military rites in a foreign lano:
Later Mr. Baker visited a hospital
and spoke with the wounded. He in
quired about their wounds. how they
were received and how the men were

would soon arrive to hasten their re-
covery. One man remarked that he
had received the French war cross. but

lions forbade it

and one other officer. he motored to a
point accessible to the sector selected
for his inspection He dined and slept
in the chateau of French friends of the
officers Retiring early, the Secretary
arose at o'clock in the dark of an
overcast, chill March day. Taking
breakfast quickly. he drove through the
misty dawn to his destination.
As the lines were approached the
steady reverberation of guns signaled
great activity of the artillery. This
was confirmed when on arrival it was
found that the road selected for an
proach to the trenches was under brisk
shellfire. Indeed. the firing was so
active as to cause the general consid-
cradle apprehension for the safety of
his distinguished guest. He endeayored
to dissuade Mr.. Baker from going on
with the expedition, explaining the
danger. But the Secretary OVERRIDE
his protest. Accordingly, another route
was reluctantly selected.
The party re-entered the motor and
was driven to the selected point as IA r
forward as motoring was safe. With
the general and the other officer. Mr..
Baker walked over the shell-cratered
region to communication trench. He
wore civilian clothes. covered with a
trench coat. khaki breaches and boots
borrowed from a colonel of about his
size. He also put on shrapnel helmet

Spring came on the SIS this morning,
to be exact about a most inexact crea-

steady downpour of rain which had
totaled nearly half an inch Of preci-
tation by 10 o'clock.
Springs official advent brought to a
close the most severe winter expert
enced in Washington since the days of
the big blizzard OF 1899. The snowfall
during the past January and February

fcials of the weather bureau recalled.
The temperatures this winter were
very low. although they did not break
records but made up for that by their
persistence at low figures.

Pioneers in Fight.

Yours was the first experience in be-

tails of adjusting yourselves to the new
and strange conditions. In this. as in
developing system of training, you
were the pioneers blazing the way.
while succeeding contingents could
profit by your mistakes.
Day after day and week after week

of instruction which is necessary for
proficiency in modern war. You had to
restraint your Impotence to go into the
trenches under Gen. Pershing'S wise de-
mand for that thoroughness, the value
of which you now appreciate as a re-
suit of actual service in the trenches.
'If sometimes the discipline seemed
wearing you now know you would have
paid for its absence with your lives and
with failure.
IF had any advice to give it is to
strike hard and shoot straight. and I
would warn you at the same time
against any carelessness, any surrender
to curiosity which makes you a mark
needlessly. The better you are trained
the more valuable is your life to your
country as fighter who seeks to make
the soldier of the enemy rather than
yourself pay the supreme price of war.

Another early arrival among the di-
visions was that from New England,
which, in common with all other di-
visions, whether Regular, National
Guard or National Army, is part of the
homogeneous national forces.
From the day of my arrival in
France I have been hearing the praise
of the New England division, which has
made good in it's initial experience in
the trenches in a manner to guarantee
it will be equal to future emergencies.

this division are probably descended

plishment. With you came body of ma
rines, those well disciplined ship-shape
soldiers of the Navy.
When your division arrived it was reg
ular only in name, judged by the high
standard set by our Regular Army. Some
60 per cent of the privates were recruits
and even a larger percentage of the OFF,
GERS came from the reserve. Had We cho-
sen we could have sent to France at the
outset a veteran regular contingent.
While this might have been source OF
momentary qualification it was contrary
to the long view of our responsibility in
giving adequate military assistance to the
allies and out of keeping with the broad
plan of our staff to use our professional
soldiers of all grades in training large
army.
