u. S. Has Increased
Troop Movement to
France Threefold
fBy Tie Associated Pres


WASHINGTON, April 10.-With the
news that American troops now are in
the battle zone, the blunt statement of
David Lloyd George, the British Pre-
mier, to Parliament as to the situation
in Picardy came home to Americans
to day with added force. Army officers
expressed satisfaction that the rein
forcements ordered into the fight by
President Wilson had begun to arrive,
for the British Premier had left no
room for doubt that the need for them
is urgent.
Behind that advance guard other
American forces are moving rapidly to
the front Figures may not be dis
closed, but it is known denitely that
the rate of departure of American
troops for France now is three times
that Of only a short time ago.
The increased troop movement makes
interest in the submarine situation
acute. There were indications two
weeks ago that the Germans had cou-
Piled with the assault in Picardy an
effort to increase their inroads upon
Allied shipping. Officials here believed
that, with the situation on the battle
front as Mr.. Lloyd George pictured it,
German submarine efforts would be
concentrated against troop ships 70
prevent American reinforcements from
reaching the battlefront in sufficient
numbers to influence the outcome this
spring and summer.

the American fighting troops have

of the Americans showed that they

y. S. Army Drops
General Resche.
Born in Germany
He Was Commander of Ma
tional Guard Division
at Camp Cody

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Discharge
from the Federal service of Brigadier
General Frederick E. Resche, of Mime
sofa, a German-born officer command
ing a brigade of the 34th National
Guard division at Camp Cody, N NJ,
was announced to-day in army orders.
Failure to maintain his command on
an efficient footing is the cause official
ly announced for giving an honorable
discharge to the officer. Certain re-
marks attributed to him, however, have
drawn attention to the question of his
loyalty, and while no overt act of dis
loyalty has been charged against him,
his utterances are being investigated.
The chief desire of the War Depart
ment, it was said to-day, was to get out
of the service an officer of high rank
who was shown by the reports of in
spectors to be lacking in zeal and en-
terprise in preparing his command for
conflict with the German army. For
that reason he was promptly dis
charged and the question Of his loyalty
left to be passed upon by the civil
branch of the government.
The discharge makes a civilian of
General Resche. Had he been regular
army officer the War Department. s
course would have been different
The 34th Division is composed of
troops from Iowa, Minnesota. North
Dakota and Nebraska. General Reschc's
successor has not yet been selected.

General F. E. Resche, discharged to- day

further proof of their fighting spirit.
Many of the French troops now
engaged in stopping the German Of
fensive have seen the Americans at
work, and speak enthusiastically of
their readiness to learn all the in

recall the eager manner in which the
Americans joined in trench raids
