Pershing Organizes Expedition
airy Forces and They Work
In Concert With French.
ARE Sent. into ACTION
Given Out But Believed To In.
ciude Rainbow Division
General Bliss Aids.

Washington, April 2.-The first
army corps of the expeditionary for.
ces has been organized by General
Pershing according to advices receiv.
ed by the war department. The first
corps is now acting in concert with
the French against the left flank OF
the German offensive.
An American army force consists
of from two to six divisions.
For military reasons it is improper
to give the exact strength OF the first
corps. As division consists of ap-
proximately $4,000 men, it is no
secret that General Pershing has as.
signed more than two divisions to the
corps. The corps is under the COM
mand of a widely known general who
formerly commanded one of the divi-
sions of which the corps is made up.
1t is understood that the American
forces are being sent into action in
two columns. Although under the
direction of General Foch, orders to
the columns will be sent through
General Pershing who is in close
touch with the new general head
quarters established by the French
generalissimo.
Bliss 10 Aiding.
General Bliss is aiding in the for.
nation of the Allies defensive and
offensive programs. ....
The divisions making up the first
army corps are known here, but the
War department has as yet not iden.
titled them. There is reason to be-
lieve that one of the units of corps is
the famous Rainbow division made up
of National guardsmen from almost
every state in the Union. This divi-
sion was among the first to arrive in
France and has finished it's training
course back of the lines. The Min
nesota Gunners Q51st artillery is
part of the Rainbow division .

Bringing Iron to the From,

1t is a welEfnown fact that men
of courage, men with Drawn and
nerve TO "buck the line" and go
"over-the-top" have rich, red blood
coursing through their veins. This
blood must contain about as much
iron as there is in a common ten
penny nail. The red blood corpus
cles must be fed on iron to have that
rich red color. The nerves are fed
on the red blood corpuscles, so when
you feel tired, worn out before the
day is half over, when pimples show
on neck or face, it's the danger
signal, time to repair the blood-cells.
1t is fortunate that DIR. Pierce and
his staff of able physicians at the
Surgical institute in Buffalo, N. Y,
have found a combination of iron
and herbal extracts that gives the
stomach tone, fortifies the blood
with iron in a form that it can be
taken into the system. You need
energy and pep" every day. You
can acquire it quickly by taking
"Irontic." This latest discovery
called, Iron-tic," can be had at
most drug stores, in tablet form, at
sixty cents the vial. Send Doctor
