MARCH GIVES TROOP FIGURES
In Last Two Weeks, 100000 Ameri
 can Soldiers Have Sailed.

Washington, June 23.-The an- nouncement by General March, chief of staff, that American troop move ments France had now exceeded 900,- 1000, added yesterday to the growing cheerfulness apparent at the War De- partment recently. Thus the United States is five months in advance of it's schedule for troop movement. When the first blow was struck on the Cam bria-St. Quentin line March 21, troop shipments were behind schedule.
 Approximately 100000 men have been embarked in the last two weeks. The total movement in May was not more than 240,000. Only two weeks ago Secretary Baker announced more than 700, ,000 had been shipped; week later, at the last of his conferences with the newspapermen, General March said the 800,000 mark had been passed. On this showing the million mary should be passed by July 1. The problem of transportation forbids a
 General March made it clear that definite prediction.
 time gained in getting abroad enough American troops to give General Foch, supreme commander, a master ing superiority over the enemy, is the vital factor.

AMERICAN ARTILLERYMEN
 ADOPT STARVING FRENCH BOY
When They Were Ordered to Front Lines They Made Up Purse for
 His Care and Education.

With the American Army in France, June 20.- Though the American troops have repeatedly made them selves extremely popular by their open-handed generosity to the natives among whom they happen to be quartered. it has remained for an ar sillery regiment to distinguish itself especially in this respect.
 The unit was quartered for some time in a little French town behind the front, and on the first evening found. almost dying from hunger, an eight-year-old boy whose mother had been killed at Verdun. The boy had wandered aimlessly about unti, he reached this town.
 He was unanimously adopted by she regiment, fed to satiety and made the mascot and idol of the men. The time came, however, very recently, when the artillerymen had to leave for front service. To take the boy with them was out of the question He had been given the nickname of Pat and they had grown so attached to him that they felt something must be done to assure his future.
 So the men raised 2,000 francs with which Pat" is to be cared for in home and given at least rudiment- sry education. They have gone on to the front. possibly never will see the little town again; but the town, and Pat, will not soon forget them.

BRIDE STOLEN BT GERMANS
 POILU SEEKS HIS REVENGE
Cnsses Out the Way the War Is Being Run When He's Not Fighting and
 Can't Be Held Back in Trenches.


 Can't Be Held Back in Trenches.
 Guyon's a regular ire-eater. He has been cited six times. He wears a croix de guerre and a medaille d hon. neur. He captured German mitrail- ueuse single-handed. He went out alone in no mans land to bring back wounded comrade. He's been wounded himself four times.
 When he is back of the lines, of duty, he helps Y. If. C. A. secretary hand out writing paper to his com rades in foyer dn soidat. But 1t not active enough for him. Since August, 1914, he does not seem to need rest. When he is not in the trenches he works of his surplus energy cussing out the way the war is run, because he isIft in active service every min ute.
 There are lot of poilus like Gyon. Get them ten kilometers back of the front and they growl and roar all day Put them in the trenches and you simply can't hold them in. Prob ably a story lies back of most of them just as one explains Guyon.
 When the war broke out, Guyon had just married. lie and his wife were living in little town up near the Belgian border. Of course, he was called and left for the front. For more than year he did not hear from his wife--not a word.
 At last he received letter from her, mailed in Paris. She had been taken prisoner at the time of the in- vasisn and deported into Germany. After year of horrible suffering and abuse she escaped into Holland and got back to France by way of London. At last she reached Paris and went to work in intuition factory where she is still working.
 Guyon told his story to the Ameri- can 'Y" secretary with typical French calmness. His fury against the boches he puts into action in the front line.

HEAVY HUMOR OF HUN SHOWN
 IN SLANG HE USES IN WAR.
German Levity Is Crude When Com pared With the Lingo of the
 Allies.

London. June 20.-The Hun has his slang, too.
 Fritzie's blood ties have had an in- fuence on his wartime lingo of the trenches.
 He nicknamed the British common heavy shell after his cousin, the "chwarze sau," or black SOW. Frit- zie's odoriferous step-brother provided slang name for the French .75 high explosive shell, which he affectionate- ly calls "stinkweisel," or skunk.
 He calls the French .76 shrapnel shell the "windhund" or greyhound, and the low velocity missile is a "blindschIieche." or slow-worm. Shells flying overhead are "hochbanen," 1" elevated railways, "Iuftomnibusse, 1" aerial omnibuses or "rollwagon," which means pushcart.
 The British high velocity shell is called after the granddaddy of Ger many, "schwarzer aeufel," black devil, and the Lewis gun is known as the hackfieisch-machine,' or mincemeat machine. Machine-guns of other coffeemill, "steinklopfer," stonebreak- CT, and "mahmaschine," meaning moving machine. They also call them by word meaning "stuttering aun- tie" which comes nearest to being regular white mans slang.
 Machine-gun companies are especi- ally noted for their devotion to the kaiser, and it's no wonder when you learn that they are called the "Mur- derer's Club" turnout the German army.

Army of Three Million.

Based on an American army of three million men, the plans which the measure supports have been ap- proved by Representative Borland of Missouri, chairman of the subcom- mittee which framed the bill. While the program provides for home de- lenses from possible German air raids and for coast defense, the chief con- cern is for the production of field ar- tillery. The total appropriation for heavy guns is $1,229, ,731,295
 The report of the committee shows that the new government plant for production of heavy artillery at Ne vile Island in the Ohio River, near Pittsburgh, is to equal the famous Krupp plant in. Germany For the Neville Island plant $40.000,0O is ap- propriated. Manufacture of heavy pieces will be carried on also at plants of the Bethlehem and Midvale Steel companies. the report disclosed Be- cause of the length of time required for the building of large guns, it is shown, the government is not yet giv- ing extensive concern to the manu- facture of the projectiles, aItho ma chinery has been or is being estab- lished by which the munitions can be supplied in short order.
 Rail or Motor Traction.
 All the new heavy guns, provided  for in the bill will be mounted on railway cars or motorized for rapid transportation showing the war de- partment, as was recently intimated, is expecting change from the trench to the open style of warfare.
 The committee gives facts obtained from the war department showing that General Pershing has been buying field artillery in large quantities from French manufacturers. A portion of the total appropriation will be to pay these concerns.
 Need of artillery in France is shown by the statement of the report that spare guns from the American coast defenses are being shipped abroad. It is made clear, however, that none of the important coast defenses has been dismantled The navy has supplied the army in France with 159 pieces, ranging from inch to IA inch.

AMERICA SOON
 INTO BIG FIGHT
Now Has 900 900 Men in France and Fighters Are Being Tried Out Are Now , Months Ahead
 of Schedule.

Washington. June 23.-Nine hun dred thousand men have been shipped across the seas, General March told newspaper correspondents at the weekly conference yesterday. These include the troops shipped from all American ports of authorization.
 American troops have done well wherever thE-test of battle has come, thus far, General March said, regard ing the character of the troops, whether regulars, national guard, na- tional army or marines.
 The fight at Cantigny, the most inn portant engagement in which the American have participated because it gave opportunity to judge of the full measure of their training, he said, had been fought bbyy bbyy the the first da;%iisiess commanded by Major General Robert L. Bulard. This division is now, he said, a thoroly trained, high-grade unit and was the first American divi- sion to reach France.
 (Omptete OOOpeFat10H-
 At Cantigny, General March said, infantry and artillery operated in close cooperation to achieve the vic tory, showing the successful work of the staff officers upon whom that CO., operation depended. The fight clearly showed. he said, that the training of the American general staff officers has reached the point where the sys- tenn would work under battle strain
 One of the most striking things on the western front, the chief of staff declared, was the supreme importance of unified command.
 This was first advovated, he added, by President Wilson and carried thru under the Presidents constant pres sure, until unity of command was real ized in the appointment of General Foch.
 Five Months Ahead of Time.
 The United States is today five months ahead of it's program for plac- ing an army in France, General March said.
 The figures on American troop shipments are significant since Gen. eral March, at his last conference, last week fixed the number shipped at more than s00,0O0, the addition of 100000 during the week showing the rate of progress that is being made.
 While the general battle situation looks good today, General March said, the present lull on the western front means only that German combat di- visions are being reformed for anoth- CT drive. Viewing the whole situation, including the Italian front, the chief of staff said that the central powers were again held on all fronts.

GERMANS WORK IN MEXICO.
Use Hearst Newspaper Editorials As
 Basis for Propaganda.

New York, June 20.-Details of German press propaganda in Mexico were related by members of the party of twenty Mexican editors now in New York, who are making tour of this country under the auspices of the committee on public information. That the Germans have an under ground news bureau was the opin- ion of Leo D. Walker, general man. ager and editor of Fl Progresso of Monterrey.
 "0ne of the factors used by the German press propagandists are the anti-Mexican editorials in the Hearst newspapers to influence the ignorant against the United States" said Mir. Walker. Whenever Mir. Hearst's newspapers publish an editorial agaist Mexico, the pro-German news papers make careful translation which they publish They attempt to convey the impression that the great masses of the people in America think and feel the way the Hearst editorials read and the other jingo newspaper uttrances misinterpret them. As soon as these Anti-Mexican editorials from the Hearst newspa- pers and others are published the pro-ally press gets busy and demon strates the falsity of the proposition assumed by the attacking parties. Conditions as far as press propagan- da are concerned in the rest of Mex leo are similar to those in Monterey

Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up Any Corn or CaIlus So It
 Lifts Right Of.

You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because few drops of freexone applied directly on tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, with out bit of pain.
 A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take of every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and it is said not to infiames or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin. If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to kAow this. Adv,
