Sanlnlies Learn How
to Keep Them Warm

With the American Army in France
Jan. 4.-American soldiers in France
are fast learning how to keep warm
under conditions in the war zone.
How certain militia contingent
marched 60 miles in the fact of a
blizzard on it's nerve and hot stew
was one chapter today of the story
of how the Samn,ies are enduring the
hardships of the fighting men.
It has been bitter cold. But the cold
snap relaxed slightly today. The snow
storm had ceased and a sickly pale
sun shed its feeble warmth over the
vast white desert over which the
Americans are putting up defensive
fight against the cold.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Hundreds of
passenger trains on railroads east
Of the Mississippi will be withdraw
FROM service under orders soon to be
issued by Director-G General McAdoo,
based upon specific recommendations
made today by committee of eastern

most necessary for important travel
routes.

Hnder government operation was dis

PUT YOUR BETS ON THE
GUARD; THEY AR FINE

With the American Army in France
Dec. 30.-The old-time regular army
man used to sheer that he'd "rathe1
be private in the regulars than a
general in the national guard"
Poking fun at the state militias was
one form of amusement for the regu-
lars. And more often than not the
guardsman took the jests and quips
without serious protest, probably adj
hitting inwardly that maybe, after
all, he was a mutt at the war game
But there's no sneering at the ma
tional guard troops in France these
days.
A very high general in the regular
army not long ago was reviewing a
militia regiment from middle west
ern state.
The troops came down the pike be-
hind crackerjack band. every head
, up, uniforms clean and spruce, guns
and side arms glistening-a body OF
fine, outstanding, stalwart, Intelligent
American manhood.
In step, countenance and carriage
they looked like liberay lads.
When the review was ended the
general turned and with an exclama-
ton that showed intense satisfaction
said to those near him:
Zine Looking Boys"
"By Jove, those are fine looking
boys! Mark my word, they'll produce
a lot of efficient officers if this wal
lasts very long"
The so-called Estate militiaman'
over here is putting into this work a
degree of intelligence, pep and will
ingness that simply amazes some of
the regular army officers who have
! high command over them.
In a good many cases, these officers
have had to revise completely their
preconceived notions about such
troops.
It's foregone conclusion that the
national guard units are going to
make good in France because a big
majority Of the boys have brains and
they'll know how to use the them in
the pinches.
One regiment boasts more than 700
college men out of a total membership
of about 300 and some 1900 of the
boys in the outfit have had one year
or more in high school,.
In football game the other day
between two militia outfits, Is of the
% players were former college play
ers and only two of the Is were off,
GERS. The particular star of the con-
test made the all-American team a
few years back. He's sergeant now.
There's no such thing over here as
a company regiment composed en-
tirely Of old time regulars.
Old Army Busted
The quick expansion Of the Ameri-
can army from 100000 to 100000
busted the old army to smithereens
and every regular man who showed
aptitude and clean moral record
was put to instructing the new re-
cruits. Hundreds of them won COM
missions.
The national guard regiments in a
lot of instances, contained men who
have been drilling much longer than
| men in the so-called regulars.
"How will the national guard take
! to war discipline? Most of the Off
GERS and men came from the same
! towns and have been in the habit of
calling one another by their first
| Names"
This is comment often heard.
But this situation prevails only in
| limited degree now. The doubling
and trebling of the size Of militia reg.
iments has made it necessary to &c
; outside for new officers. While most
of the militia units still have their
''home" colonies, majors and captains
hundreds Of lieutenants form the of.

EXPORTS FROM U. S.
BILLION LAST YEAR

Washington, Jan. 2.-Exports of
foodstuffs in 1917 were valued at
nearly $1,000, 100000, an increase of
$2O7 100000 over 1915. Statistics an
nounced today by the department of
commerce show, however, that there
was a decrease in actual quantity,
higher prices accounting for the in
creased valuation.
Rreadstuffs exports were valued at
$4,000 900; meat and dairy products
at $355,O0O,OOO and cottonseed oil at
$17,OOO,0OO. Shipments of wheat, flour
corn, oats, cotton and cottonseed oil
all decreas ed Exports of beef and
lard increased.
