place. Continuing. he said:
Brother Bills battery helped to

ing the past month. l certainly was
disappointed when 1 found out from

Tells Of His Brother.
HE didn't linger around the big
towns like we did when first arrived
but was hustled right into the big
doings; that's because he had all of
his training in Camp Mcclellan; It
we arrived last Christmas and had to
finish our training here.
But l have been on the go from
one sector of the line to the other for
the last three months. In a few days
hear, we are going way back from
the noise of the big guns for COM
plete rest.
Il am in one of the snappiest di-
visions over here. We have been
praised by all the leading French and
A oenorolS for o11r c0o6 uorl,
during the past month"
Private Warren relates how his
company drove crack Prussian guard
division out of thick woods couple
of kilometers away. In speaking OF
the captain of his company he says
There is none better in the whole
United States Army"
He declares 1.-The Germans fear the
worse than the devil, and
they have refused to stand and give
us a chance to get little bayonet
practice on them"

CHILE WANTS
HER WARSH|PS

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. e.-The
war ministry suggested today that
the government ask Great Britain
to return to Chile the two dread
noughts she requisitioned at the be.
ginning of the world war.
The people here are preparing for
great pro-Colombian demonstra-
ton.
Chile had two dreadnoughts. the
Almirante Cochrane and the Almi-
rante La Tore, building in England
when the war broke out.
They were reouisitioned for the
British navy. One was renamed tho
Canada
Both ships displace $4,000 tons, and
have a designated speed OF % knots.
Their main battery consists OF ten
14-inch guns. The second battery in
cludes 16 six.inch and four three.inch
guns.
The pro Colombian demonstration
planned in Santiago apparently is in
response TO the pro-Chilean demon
stration in Bogota. in which 5000
persons participated.
II also was reported that 800 Co
lombian army officers had offered
their services TO Chile in the event OF
war.

Omitted Press Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dcr. g.
Amesicas army and navy pro
grams WIN depend largely upon
President Wilson's success or
failure In securing adoption Of
his plan Of non nzilltairixm while
abroad.
What he wants. a. already gener
ally outlined. is to have Britain aban
don her idea of unbridied sea suprcm
ary. He wants her TO pool her naval
strength in an International navy
He opposes any idea Of an American
British navy.
At the same time. he wants the
armed camp spirit removed from the
world with respect TO army power.
IL England refuses to hearkcn tc
his program as TO naval armament
this government will go ahead with
a program destined to make the Unit
ed States the equal. and perhaps su
perior TO England. on the seas. II
England does agree TO President vii
sons proposal. &, is likely this gov
ernment will relax somewhat its
plans for the future.
These are plain facts. on excellent
authority. in connection with Presi
dent Wilson's peace program and the
