In London.


The parade of American troops in London was

ewere less than 5000 troops in it-just a handful

the scene of battle
Parades are foolish luxury in war time But
of late we have not heard much from Britain All
emphasis has been placed upon the union between
America and France. We have hailed the appoint
ment Of Foch generalissimo; the brigading of
American troops with French and British-but as
matter OF fact so far almost exclusively with
French troops; forgotten, for the nonce to think
of the steady flame of British power and purpose
which when reach fundamentals is the great
bulwark of the and of our hope of victory
h As American troops parading before Buck
Bingham Palace, American eyes could we'll have
turned from that spectacle out in the North
Sea, where the union of British and American naval
power is about to accomplish-if indeed it has not
already accomplished-one of the great and epocha1
victories of the war. We refer to the death of
the submarine menace. If it is not dead now, it is
very, very sick thing. We know of the effective
ness of American destroyers, and we can we'll spec
uate on the heroic work Of the British fleet which
at last is within measurable distance of reaching
that for which it has strven since the Lusitania
sunk.

fleet! There is nothing spectacular nothing pictur-

constant increment of from 100000 to 100000 new

. Uncle Sam is still the biggest giant of them all
These facts they have been carefully arrived
at by War Department experts, are enlightening
1t shows that there are already over I,I87ooo men
under Uncles orders. This including men recently
called Some of these last may not be in camp
yet, but they are all on their way there
This means that, following Secretary Bakers
.pian for an army totaling 100000, for this year
I'VE have less than 100000 to CO.
{. Washington reports show also that there are
,on the War Departments waiting list" approx
tmstely 100000 Class I and physically fit men to
.hll the gap between what we have now and what
!Baker has called for. Half of them will do that
:. Besides these 2ooo,ooo-all of them men who reg
sistered last year, and who have already filled out
their questonnaresit is authoritatively estimated
that there are another 100000 100000 young
fehaps counting out those who physically unfit
or who will receive deferred classification for other
sreasons, who have turned 2I in the last year. and
5who made liable to service by recent ieeis-

Baker says he can use to the best advantage today
Some day we may need all of these men. Prob
ably we will if the war lasts long enough. But if
the day when we do need them comes year hence
then there will be further reserve of 10000 or
100000 piled upl For that's the rate grow them
at in this country.
These figures are of tremendous interest to every
man, and child in America. They would

could only get them to him
! How much of Americas man power will the
Huns have to see with their eyes and feel
with their own flesh-by the bayonet route-before

guess. So problem aside from the man power

With the American Army in France;
Controle American; April 3O.-Near
one French city the American army
is erecting a hospital that will ul-
timately contain 2O,0O0 beds, near an
other city one with 1000 beds, and
near q third one with 5000.
The French are fairly gasping with
admiration at the magnitude of Amer
ica's hospital plans. The regulation
military hospital in France. up to
this time, has contained about LOO
beds.
The American soldier who comes
to France is assured of the best med
lean attention any army in the world
has ever seen.
There will be one bed in a hos
pital for every five soldiers.
Experience has shown that only
one soldier out of five needs hospi-
tai attention.
An overwhelming majority OF all
wounded soldiers who receive hos
pital treatment recover. More than
80 per cent of abdominal cases re-
cover.
Soldier blindness is the least COM
mon of all war Affections. Out of
100 wounded soldiers only one suf-

known more Familiarity, has caused
more talk than damage in Paris.
Its shells come from the northeast,

streets that run north and south and
as they walk they keep a weather eye
out for the subway entrances.

theaters and the cafes. as Is their

hours until bedtime in cozily fitted cell
lars, catching up with their reading
