AMERICAN TO
PUT AN ENDTO
TRENCH FIGHTS
Maj. Gen. Plummer Declares
u. S. Troops Will Go
Over to Stay.

Camp Dodge, Ia. Feb. 25.--A firm
conviction THAI the assembling OF
American national army soldiers on
I. the fighting line in France will mark
the beginning Of the end OF trench
warfare and the defeat of the central
France by Maj. Gen. e, H: Plummer,
division commander here, who return
ed recently from q three months tour
of the war zone.
'They will never settle this war in
the trenches" General Plummer said.
when the American troops get on
the fighting line they are going over
and they will stay over. Open warfare
will win this war" v: .
General Plummer said that once
the Germans start to run and are dis
lodged from their trenches they will
not stop running.
The division commander had only
the highest praise for American SOL
dierS now in Europe.
Asked concerning reports that
American soldiers were seen drunk
on the streets of London and other
places. General Plummer said: There
a report. I did not see a single drunk
en- american soldier"
The officers and men of both the
French and British forces have only
the highest praise for the department
and conduct Of American soldiers.
A general commanding the Anleri-
can forces now actually engaged in
the conflict told General Plummer
that the men in. his command had
plenty of clothing and all the neces-
sary equipment.
The mail situation is one most seri-
GUS reported to General Plummer and
is cause of much discomfort among
the American forces.
1t is from one to three months be-
fore the men in France received their
mail from home. General Plummer
says, and sometimes they do not re-
ceive it at all. The English and French
forces, he said, receive not only their
mail promptly but also the daily pa
pers the day following their publica-
ton.
} "cip,ine for the soldiers in train
ing in the United States is the one
thing of great Importance, General
Plun,mer said officers in France told
practice and the development of men
into expert shots are the two things
most desired of the Americans who
will eventually occupy the front line
trenches Instruction in other meth.
cd. Of warfare can be given after the
soldiers reach France in comparative
ly short time. General Plummer said.
The first surprise attack on Aneri-
can forces In which several soldiers
We're killed and others captured. Gen
e"el Plummer said, was not the fault
of officers or men. The men were
' taken into the trenches in the nigh,
and had, not become accustomed to
the situation before the attack came
