Success of Emergency Meas
ures Seen in Flanders
Report.
D. c. MEN MAY BE THERE

Evidence Of the success of emer-
gency measures to bring American
manpower to the aid of the French
German drive is given in the an
nouncement that American troops
have reached Flanders and gone into
training behind the British lines
there.
Soldiers from Gen! Pershing's army
have been in line with the French
and British in front on Amiens for
some time, but the decision to send
additional forces from this country
direct to the British army was made
after the great German drive launch
ed March 21 was well under way.
Less than two months have been re-
quired to get the first Of these troops
across the sea and into position.
Probably includes D. c. Men.
Nothing is available at the War
Department to indicate the identity
or numbers of the men in Flanders.
It fs probable, however, that the
National Army regiment reviewed
recently in London by King George
IL included.
The infantry and machine gun units
Of the division to which that regiment
was attached probably constitute this
first American force to appear in the
Flanders theater. The force probably
includes some troops from the District
Of Columbia.
Tho men, 1t is noted. are described as
being 'fn training in the British zones.
That is taken here to mean that they
are being brigaded with British divisions
in reserve and will get their final sea-
eoning quickly through this close asso-
citation with the veterans of Sir Douglas
aaig's army.
Unless a great emergency arises when
the German assault is renewed it is
not regarded as probable that the Amer
lean battalions will be employed on the
front line for some time.
British Can Fill Gaps
Tho immediate result of greatest i'm
portance probably is that the battalions
Of British troops displaced in these di-
able to I'LL up other British divisions
to full strength for the organization of
new British divisions, as Gen. Haig
deems best.
To that extent the Americans are
now acting as reinforcements for the
British lines 1t Is anticipated that
limited additional training under ex-
listing conditions will round them into
shape for any work that may be as
aligned to them later.

Just back from a visit to the allied
nations Oscar T. Crosby. assistant sec
retary Of the Treasury. brought mes
sage Of cheer to moro than 400 team
workers in the Washington Red Cross
campaign. gathered for their. first gen.
eral meeting at 1924 F street yesterday
afternoon.
You can't go too far. you can't go too
strong in appealing for the Red Cross
And speak with an enthusiasm born
of recent observation Of work the Red
Cross is doing" Mr. Crosby declared.
Interprets Spirit Of America.
'Ycu could not go over there and not
be impressed by the work of the Red
Cross he said. "The Red Cross workers
are interpreting to foreign lands the
spirit of America, as expressed in spoken
word by President Wilson and put into
action by the magnificent Army of the
United States.
"As citizens Of the world as well as
citizens Of the United States. you may
feel its ideals and aspirations are being
exemplified by the Red Cross"
Mr.. Crosby said that the Red Cross
not only is serving the people Of this
nation. but is extending aid to the suf-
fering among those allied with us in
this struggle"
Il wish l could picture to you the
work the Red Cross is doing. l need
not go into detail. But that spirit is
one which leads me to echo the words
of your chairman, Go to it.
What better propaganda could
America have today than that able
group of men and women who must
be supported for the noble and able
work they are doing by the work you
are about to do.
No Better Cause.
'In France. in England and in Italy
have seen them. these compatriots
of yours who are backing up your
country and your Army. Let me say
there is no more glorious cause to
which you can give; there Is no bet
ter channel into which you can pour
your money than to contribute next
week to the Red Cross"
Charles Henry Butler. chairman of
the personal solicitation committee.
urged that workers make their con-
tributions Monday. so that they would
not be asking others to do what they
had not yet done.
He announced there would be four
emblems. to be awarded daily as fol-
lows: To the teams having the largest
total. the largest contribution and the
largest number of contributors.
More than 1900 names of Washing
ton citizens who have given to va
rious causes. have been listed, and 1t
is from these lists the teams will
work. Each one of these 1900 will be
seen personally.
Mr. Butler will have daily meetings
of his team captains and their lieu
tenants at noon, at which time re-
ceding will be made. He already has
pledged that his own team will raise
100000.
