TROOPS GOING over
MUCH MORE RAPIDLY
THAN WAS EXPECTED
Fully Twice As Many Men
will Be In France by June
AS First Planned
By Carl D. Groat
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, Jan. 23-America is
sending troops to Europe far more rapid
ly than originally planned.
1t is now estimated, barring disaster,
that fully twice as many soldiers will
be training under Pershing by June
than early estimates provided.
This fact has been assured members
of the senate by President Wilson as an
example Of the war departments tre-
mendous work. Under the circumstances
the president holds, some mistakes were
inevitable. "but the same mistake has
not been made twice" /"
A fair proportion of actual fighting
men is included in the eontingents al
ready gone, and this government has
furnished in addition a goodly number
uf badly needed stevedors, engineers,
foresters, flyers and other non-fighting
forces.
At first war department officers felt
that the United States ought not to send
any troops abroad short of a year. Then
the allies began pressure for some for
psychological effect. This resulted in
despatch of the Pershing expedition and
the Rainbow division.
Conflicting requests as to men and
supplies came from time to time but
with the elimination of the inteT-ailied
conference, Colonel House recommended
that transport of men was perhaps the
most crying need.
Lack of bunker coal has been a deter
rent factor, but this is now being over
come and the transport service is ex-
peeted to improve considerably.
The war department is considering

The United Press recently asked its
London office to find d'out exactly what
had been Great Rritain's experiences in
the matter Of supplying her troops i'm
mediately after the outbreak of the
war. The idea was to find ont for the
information Of the American public
whether that nation had encountered
the same difficulties as America as to
uniforms, equipment and supplies which
have been aired at recent congressional
Investigations. The following is the first
Of two stories in reply to this query.

London, Jan. 23.-America can take

Asked by the United Press today how

In the February issue Of the Red

there IL an unfortunate reference to

poem was inserted in the Red Cross
Magazine at the last moment by the
editors without having been submitted
to Washington. It was regarded pure
ly as a contribution from Kipling, and
the editors did not sense the reflection
on the Catholic church which it con-
tanned. It is a matter Of the greatest
concern to the war council of the AM

have happened, and they regard it as

Much More Than Material Are
the Blessings for Which We
Now Give Thanks.

~0T IS to be hoped thst this
Thanksgiving will not be a
1" pagan holiday. and that
those who do render thanks
will do 20 not as a heather
N philosopher, Boosting that he
IL not as other men. but in greater hui
mIlity because he has perhaps been
more greatly blessed than others.
Outside of the many material bless.
ings that have come to the American
people during the past year. which are
| good In so much as they contribute to
wholesome human happiness, there Is
eason for the people cf this country
upon this Thanksgiving day to be un.
usually thoughtful concerning their
place in the world. and to remember
how this eminence has been obtained
Who can look back and not see the
hand Of Providence shaping the des-
tiny OF America? This liberty which
is the marvel and the hope OF the
world today was set up IN these shores
by Godfearing E.en-the pioneers who
lnaugurated this very Thanksgiving
holiday. II was for the love of the
service Of God that liberty was estab.
llshed In America, and II was this lib
erty that has been the basis OF our ma.
tlonal greatness and which Is to be
the political salvation Of the world.
America cannot look back upon Its
history without seeing God. and by
taking thought cannot fail to acknowl-
edge Its gratitude for all his benefits.
With that stage of our development
passed we are now permitted to enter
upon that new era when America par
ticlpates in nbolishing tyranny and In
justice, ever hateful TO God, and to
carry to the oppressed nations of the
world those principles Of liberty
through which our own chief blessings
have come.
This is the supreme service that one
nation can render to another--to safe
guard the liberties OF Its people. In
this momentous time the burden Of our
Thanksgiving this year II seems should
be that we are TO be chief among the
ministers In working out the Divine
purpose to have all men-Greek and
Barbarian-free.

FULLY express the secret OF Americas

extension Of these ideas. They are
both home ideas, and therefore they
are both ideas that express the inner
spirit OF the day Of thanksgiving.
The fatherhood OF God and the
brotherhood OF man-these were the
leading conceptions Of the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs. They are the leading concep-
lions Of the sons OF those fathers to-
day. They are the conceptions that
can never be made hackneyed by hypo-

They win stand forth In the genius

only by Insisting upon the sacredness
OF human rights and human opportu-

Hence II Is that every head OF the

the head OF the family board becomes
the priest OF the things made precious
In the life OF the country and OF which
