clare That Effect of General
Foch's Movement Will Be

(By International News Service)
Washington, March 29.-The entire
army in training in the United State
will be transported TO France with
Out delay. The speed with which
these units-regulars, federalized
gnardsmen and national army divis-
ions-are to be shipped over seas
rests with the allies. Paris and Lon
don, with the complete records OF
needed shipments of munitions, food
and the like at their disposal. will
decide what additional transports
can be diverted to troop movements.
Men Will Be Sent Forward
Then the men. now practically all
trained sufficiently to participate in
open fighting, and many of them
with combat training experience, will
be showed forward as fast as the
transportation problem will permit.
That is the reply of the United
States to the request Of the British
Premier, David Lloyd-George. voiced
by Ambassador Reading in New
York city, two nights ago
Loyalty Accepts Foch
The United States has Loyalty ac.
cepted the naming of General Foch,
the great French strategist, as the
general in command Of the co-ordin-
ated military operations on the west
front. Already General Pershing has
accepted position subordinate TO
him. The American army in France
all disivisions, combat as well as
instructive-are at General Foch's
disposal. And military officials here,
who know what it all means, say the
result OF this must soon be in eyi-
dence.
To Be One Gigantic Army
German strategy for the first time
in this war, is to be met with allied
strategy. Instead OF separate units,
doing about as they please, the en-
tire allied forces on the west viii be
operated as gigantic army. Reserves
viii be available for General Foch
as they have been in the past avail
able to the German high command
And officers here who know all that
is involved declare that this alone
has shortened the war at least a
year.
Generally speaking, officers said
today that the war reports were very
satisfactory.

The Nome City Council met in reg
 ular session at the City Hall last night but nothing of an unusual order devel- oped beyond the acceptance of the Der of the councilmanic body and the passage of motion granting the sum of fifty dollars for the remuneration of two volunteer firemen Mayor Lo- men presided and Councilmen Ross, Kemp, Kricek, NIilot and O'Farrell an- swered the roll cell. Following the reading and approval of the minutes a communication from the Nome School Board requesting the council
 to set aside the sum Of sl,41O for cur rent school expenses was granted and the clerk instructed to draw a warrant for that amount. The resignation of councilman Lynell was also read and electing a successor was laid over un- till the following meeting In response 10 a call for bids on city printing, the Nugget submitted the only bid pre- sented but the same was laid on the table without action tlereon. The
 personal tax question was also defer red until the next meeting and the matter of removing the snow from the city streets was left in the hands of the Street Committee. A number of
 bills against tho municipality were submitted to the usual routine. After sundry discussions and the appoint ment of a committee to investigate certain matters in connection with the protected harbor construction, the council adjourned until the next reg
 ular meeting day two weeks hence.

The Outside mail arrived about noon today in charge of Sam Torkel- son, who carried the outgoing nail as far as Cape Nome last night and was met at that point by Eric John son who turned OCT to TorkelsOi tho incoming consignment nd rcturne, to Solomon with the outgoing dispatch. The arriving shipment approXimatel the limit weight and contained one sack of about one hundred pounds of first class matter, all of which was addressed to the local army draft cx- cmption board The shipment was distributed with the usual dispatch The non arrival of first class mail for private parties causes many an eX- pectant one to feel disappointed but we suppose that the vagaries of the service this year are probably attrib- utable to war conditions or extreme bad weather in the southern districts of Alaska. It is also understood that there has been some curtailment in the extra service provided, although nothing definite can be obtained in re- lation to the reduction insofar as 1t effects Nome shipments.

Jack O'Brien proved the victor in the nightly pool contest at the Board of Trade last evening, placing his op- ponent fguratively hors du combat by dealing the knockout stroke in the 5Sth inning when Lilly needed forty points to complete his required two hundred. The match was at odds of POO to 175 with O'Brien on the short end but from the way the winner toss- ed the balls Into the pocket it looked as if the odds should be reversed
 Lilly played a good game but was un- able to gain sufficient lead to win. The winners average was }, while that of the loses was 275. Messsr Max

TEUTON DRIVE ON
KENNEL FIERCER
THAN AT VERDUN
German GunnerS Placed Ten
Shells Per Second on
Crest of Hill
FRENCH USE GAS MASKS
Large Part of Fighting in
Drive For Channel Was
With Machine Guns
FRENCH USE GAS MASKS

with the British Arp:y in France,
Friday, May 3.-VeteGans of the de-
fense of Verdun predomlnated
among the French soldiers who Sc
ga1lantly defended KENNEL hill
against the Germans. Many of them
had fought at Fleury. but declare
Verdun was nothing compared to
what the French troops experienced
during the German drive against
KENNEL. The French troops took up
positions about KENNEL on April %,
relieving the battle-weary British.
Throughout April % and "a, before
the attack, the Germans maintained
tremendous bombardment and
threw hundreds of thousands of gas
shells mixed with ordinary explosive
shells.
Ten Shells Per Second
On the morning of the attack on
KENNEL the German gunners placed
ten big shells per second on the crest
of the hill and during that day the
French put on their gas masks fifty
different times. for as fast as the
wind cleared the gas away another
deluge of the poinosonus vapor
poured over the hill. Part of the
time the poilus had to sleep in their
gas masks. Despite the great guam
titles of gas thrown, the French had
eonTv twelve casualties from 1T ac-
cording to the latest reports.
A large part of the fighting was
with machine guns, of which the
Germans always had great numbers,
and at times the German enfiladinG
fire was terrific. The French artil-
lery and machine guns, however,
reaped great harvest from the
enemy. The German losses in many
instances are placed as high as forty
per cent.
The rationing of one famous regi-
ment which fought at Verdun was
great feat. IT always had been noted
for it's fine rations, and the comman-
der decided nothing should deprive
the men of their accustomed fare.
1t was impossible to use tire trans
port because of the artillery fire, so
that rations were brought forward
on machine gun carriages under
| heavy fire. The + egiment had its
beefsteak and wine every day and
furnished neighboring regiments as
well.
TeutOn Planes Pour Fire
German airplanes were put in
| force They flew at an altitude of
/ 100 meters and used machine guns
continuously against the infantry,
