three years have been to our brave
Ally. And not only have the troops
endured untold hardships. The peo-
pie at home have been victims OF the
ruthless airplane raids executed by
the central powers forces. We have
not been attacked here in this coun-
try. therefore we cannot realize what
1t means to have the war brought
into home territory. But we can
show our appreciation Of the bravery
and valor of the Italians by observing
the anniversary of that country's en-
trance into the war May "a. The
italians are very temperamental and
responsive. It will give them no end
Of pleasure if they know that we in
tend to make this day one marked
by a fitting observance Of the historic
date which means so much to them
The best way in which we can indi-
cate our sympathy and gratitude to
the italian army and the Italian peo-
pie is by complying with the request
issued from WASHINGTON, that we wear
a flower In our buttonhole one week
from today in honor of Italy. It will
be a little matter, but it will mean a
great deal.

of the most serviceable in the field of

called Aspitone, in which the heart de-

Physicians and druggists maintain that

power 10 the aid of the French and
British armies in repelling the Ger
man drive came Friday with the
announcement that American troops
had reached Flanders and gone into
training behind the British lines
there. Official reports were lacking
tonight. but Sec'y Baker and army
officials accepted press advices that
the first contingent Of the forces 20
be brigaded for training and oper-
atoms with the British army had
arrived
Soldiers from Gen. Pershing's
army have been in line with the
French and British in front of
Amiens for some time but the de-
cision TO send additional forces from
this country direct TO the British
army was made after the great Ger
man drive launched March p was
we'll under way. Less than two
months have been required to get
the first of these troops across the
sea ana into position.
Cannot Indicate Numbers.
Nothing is available at the war
department TO indicate the identity
or numbers of the men in Flanders.
1t is probable, however. that the
national army regiment reviewed
recently in London by King George
is included The infantry and ma
which the regiment was attached
probably constitute this first Ameri-

theater.
The men. it is noted. are described
as being lin training" in the British
zones. That is taken here 10 mean
that they are being brigaded with
British divisions in reserve and will
get their final seasoning quickly
through this close association with
, the veterans of Sir Douglas Haig' 5
army. Unless a great emergency
arises when the German assault is
resumed. it is not regarded as prob
able that the American battalions
will be employed on the front line
for some time.

The immediate result of greatest

Americans will he available to fill
