the rear of the Czecho-Slovaks forces
in their movement westward against
Germans, Austrians and hostile FAC
lions were made public Wednesday
with the announcement by General

mont, Cal.
The regiments to form the vanguard
of the American contingent. General
March announced, will be the Twenty
seventh and Thirty-frst. Colonies
Stier and Taggart will be in command
of the two regiments. The Philippine
regiments are not now of war strength
and aggregate probably not more than
$500 men.
Additional Troops to Follow.
This force will be supplemented by
additional troops from the United
States, the number of which has not
been revealed The Chief of Staff said
however. that the American force
would not be large one.
In announcing the selection of Gen.
eral Graves to command the American
forces General March took occasion to
state that so far as he knew no Com
mander in Chief for the whole expedi-
tion had yet been designated.
He recalled the fact that this could
only be done by international agree
ment such as was found to be neces-
sary to concentrate the supreme COM
mand Of all the Entente and Ameri-
can troops in Europe in the hands of
General Foch.
From other sources it was learned
that negotiations are now under way
to this end and that the Chief of Staff
Of the Japanese army, General Baron
Uychara, has been suggested and his
name is now under consideration as
commander in chief.
Wait Until They Arrive
General March said the sailing Of the
expedition or of General Graves will
not be announced, but that upon ar
rival of the forces the news will be
made public. 1t was not stated wheth-
er an announcement of the size Of the
American contingent may be expected.
The Japanese force, in conjunction
with the Chinese, who will act under
Japanese direction, probably will be
more numerous, in fact, Japan is pre-
pairing to send into Siberia any num-
Der of troops necessary to carry out
the declared purpose to give effective
aid to the Czecho-Slovaks.
The object of the pyDadifiOn is con-
fined strictly to the announcement
made recently by President Wilson
through the State Department, the
General added and is not for the pur-
pose of establishing an eastern front

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE, Tuesday Aug. 6.-The
Germans appear to be determined not
to permit American engineers to
throw bridges across the Vesle and as
a result several American officers have
had thrilling experiences. The bridge
builders had been eager to proceed
with their work, despite the German
fire and their officers have had to hold
them back.
Lieut.. E. r. Hall, of California, on
Tuesday was under cover with so men
on the south bank awaiting lull in
the German Smelling in order to build
a bridge. 1t was intended to build a
footbridge on the foundations of a
bridge destroyed by the Germans and
then to put up stronger structure.
Rather than expose his men, Lieut..
Hall carried two planks,. started out
on an exploration trip by himself.
The lieutenant reached the southern
pier just as the German machine gun
ners commenced a heavy fire. This
did not stop him. He tossed one
plank into a temporary position and
then put rhe other in place from the
south pier TO the pier in the middle
of the river. The enemy fire becom-
ing warmer, Lieut.. Hall jumped into
the river and took cover on the north
bank Afterwards he recrossed to the
south bank and rejoined his command
amid cheers from the soldiers.
At another point farther west of
Fismes, Major r. B. Newcomber and
Capt. James p. Growden, during day
light, felled a tree across the Vesle
and crossed to the north bank. There
they chopped down another tree which
fell toward the southern bank Soon
afterwards they had completed foot
