OfficiaI Announces That Ameri.
can Forces Are Being Trans
ported With More Speed.
DETAILS ARE WITHHELD
Divisions Being Sent Over Composed
Of Men Who Have Had Months
of Training and Need Only
Final Instructions.

Washington, April 9.-Acting Sec
rotary Of War Crowell has made the
announcement that transportation Of
American troops to France already is
proceeding at the accelerated rate
contemplated by the speeding up mea
sures taken after the battle of Pi
cardy began. He would give no de-
tails.
For military reasons the extent OF
the increased troop movement has
not been made public.
Following the conferences recently
between Secretary Baker and Allied
officials, orders were given under
which a British official statement was
issued saying that American forces
were to be brigaded with British
troops in order to hasten American
participation in the war. Officials ex-
planned today that process to be fol.
lowed was similar to that adopted in
the placing of American troops in
the front lines with the French for
training.
Troops Moved Ready to Fight.
It has been estimated that thirty
days training of this character, with
American battalion units assigned
with the British organizations, will
fit the newcomers for active duty at
tho front. All divisions now moved
from this side are composed of men
who have had several months OF pre-
liminary training and who need only
final instructions to take their full
share in the fighting.
The training process will be quick.
er with the British than with the
French it is believed, because the
language difficulty does not exist.
American units will find every Brit
ish veteran an instructor and there
will be no need for interpreters.
Training to be Mor.--=.A.ive.
It was indicated tn. ~ new plans
call for a more extensive training
scheme with the British army than
has been the case with General Perish
ing's original force. There probably
will be no attempt to set up q purely
American force within the British
ranks, as has been done with the
French.
The Americans are to be Withdrawn
when trained and turned over to Gen.
eral Pershing as part Of his army.
They will share fully with their Brit
ish comrades the battles on their
front and the belief here is that they
will not be withdrawn as long as
there is pressing need for their servi-
ces with the British lines.

J.. S. Repor: Shows Condition
1862 Normal.
Rye Production Nearly Double 1915
: Figures-Winter Wheat Acreage
Largest Ever Known.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-According
TO the Department OF Agriculture esti-
mates in it's report showing the con-
dition Of the crop on April 1, winter
wheat production this year will be-
about 5OO,OOO,OO0 bushels, and the
condition of the crop was 1876 per
cent Of a normal.
Gain w Million Bushels.
This condition forecasts produc-
ton of 56O,OO0,000 bushels, against
AS, 100000 bushels estimated produc'
ton in 1917 and 4S0,553,000 in 1916.
Condition of winter wheat in the
important growing states follows:
Ohio, 80; Indiana, "a; Illinois, So;
Missouri, 90; Nebraska, IS; Kansas,
81; Oklahoma, 63.
Rye $500 Normal.
Rye production will be about &c.
900, 900 bushels, its condition April
being s5s per cent OF a normal.
Condition of the rye crop forecasts
, total production of S6,00o,0O0 bush
els, against 6O,145,00O estimated for
1917 and As, 1862 900 for 1916.
The decrease in condition OF wheat
crop from December I, 1917, to April
/, 1918, amounted to OF points, against
an average decline in the past 10
years of 81 points between these
dates.
Widespread Interest.
Widespread interest conferred IN the
production forecasts of this seasons
winter wheat and rye crops.
Winter wheat sown last autumn on
42,17O.OOO acres, the largest area ever
planted to that crop in the history OF
American agriculture, entered the win
ter with tho lowest condition on rec
ord on December l. In its December
production forecast the Department OF
Agriculture estimated the crop would
be about 540,OOO,000 bushels. Efforts
had been made in the early fall to
stimulate production by heavy plant
Ing, but weather and other conditions
were adverse.
Weather Not Adverse.
The government had aimed to have
a crop Of $4,000, 900 bushels of win.
ter wheat and relied on farmers to
plant enough spring wheat to bring
the country's wheat production this
year to more than 1000, OO0,000 bush
els. Weather conditions through the
winter have not been adverse to the
winter grain crops and early reports
indicated that the winter wheat and
rye had begun the spring in better
condition than had been expected. 1t
was felt from these indications that
the production forecasts would be
larger than those estimated as re-
suit of the December conditions.
