AMERICAN TROOPS
MAY APPEAR IN
FLANDERS TRENCHES

Washington. Feb. 5.-American troops
may appear in British trenches on the
Flanders front as a result Of studies now
being made both here and in Europe.
Il the project is carried out. American
units will be passed through the British
training system from receiving camps 10
finishing courses in front line trenches
drawing supplies and equipment from
British sources until graduate battaliors
are withdrawn for Incorporation IN Cen
eral Pershings army.
The suggestion came from British ON
Gals through General Pershing It is
still under consideration at the war de-
partment but final action probably rests
OF recommendations Of General Bliss, who
is considering it also in conference with
the supreme war council.
The plan is development OF the pro-
posal made A the time of the first meet
ing of the war council that American
troops might be sent to England for
training. releasing British forces there
for front line duty. The object is to
hasten TIE eApaltslo! Oh ite American
army in France. BY the use of British
shipping, training camps and supply lines
it has been urged that General Pershing's
force can be supplemented W thout a pro-
port'nate increase in the demand OF
shipping
Details of the plan are not dvaiia Die
for publication 1t IS known. however.
20 have encountered numerous pra cticai
objections here, which also occurred to
General Persh.ng in forwarding the sug-
gestion.
There are difficulties OF cross transpor-
tation involved and also dssimilaritieS
IN training methods. Ii can be said, how
ever that the American government il
not inclined to let those block any
means of increasing its forces in France,
provided the results 10 be attained JUST
fy the efforts necessary 10 carry out the
project.
There has been suggestion recently
thai separate American expeditionary
force. cooperating with the British un-
der separate commander and distinct
from General Persn.ng's army, might or
fer a solution 10 some OF the obstacles
There has been nothing availab Die thus
far to Indicate that the plan is about to
be adopted
