WASHINGTON, April 3.-The an
nouncement from London that Ameri.
can army units are to be brigaded with
British and French organizations was
interpreted by army officers here to-
day as indicating that the United
States government is ready to thrust
aside all questions of national pride in
placing American man power at the
immediate disposal of the allies.
The plan was decided on at confer
ences between Secretary Baker and
Generals Bliss and Pershing and Brit
ish and French officials. So far as
known the war department had not
been officially informed of it today.
Details of the method to be followed
are not available and presumably will
be arranged by General Pershing.
There was every indication however.
that American troops now in training
here are to be rushed across regard
less of their proficiency and fed into
the French and British machines, or
iginally as battalion or larger units.
The British statement carefully
notes that the national aspect of Cen
eral Pershing's army is not to be i'm
paired. The building up of that purely
American war machine will proceed as
rapidly as possible. To supplement
that effort. however other American
units will be fed to the front through

PARIS. Sept. ARTILLERY actions
On the Somme front and further south
between the Disc and the Aisne are
reported in the official statement is
sued at the war Office today
The text of the statement reads:
During the night there were artil-
iery actions on the front of the Somme
ana between the Disc and the Aisne.
Enemy raids along the vesle river
and in the Vosges region were without
result"
The sensational breaking of the
Drocourt- Queant switch line after a
series OF important allied advances
with great captures of men and ma
terial has made an immense impress
eion here.
While too great confidence that the
success can be maintained is depre-
Gated and while the expectation is
general that the enemy win make the
most desperate efforts to recover the
position, the blow is regarded as one
of the worst disasters inflicted upon
the Germans during the whole war.
The belief is general that the switch
line is the main system Of German
defense and that there is nothing
equally strong behind it. Consequently
it's loss, if it becomes final, opens the
widest possibilities.

HOMES NEEDED
FOR TEACHERS;
CITY SCHOOLS
MAY Be SHORT
EFFORTS TO FIND SUITABLE
PLACES FOR FACULTY OF
SCHOOLS TO LIVE HAVE NOT
BEEN SUCCESSFUL, AND RESI-.
DENTS ARE ASKED TO OPEN
THEIR HOMES TO ACCOMMO-
DATE THEM.

The acute shortage of homes in
Americus is most aptly illustrated in
the failure of the school authorities
here to secure adequate accommoda-
tions for teachers who will begin to
arrive shortly to begin their duties
in connection with the educational
system here.
Some time ago it was seen that
there would probably be shortage of
homes during the fall and winter
months and Supt. Mathis began cor
responding with the members of the
faculty who reside elsewhere. AS a
result of this correspondence several
ladies who will teach in the schools
this winter have already secured
homes, but there are still a number
who have not gotten accommodations,
and in conversation with a Times
Recorder representative this morning
an official of the schools stated that
it would be necessary for people here
to open their homes in order to ac-
commodate these necessary workers.
There is no service of higher or
more necessary Importance at this
time than the education of the chill
dren. and The Times Recorder desires
to add it's voice to that of others in
asking that people here who have a
spare room advise the school author
tiles at once in order that teacher
may be assigned them for the coming
season. 1t is not intended that the
teachers be compelled to accept in
adequate quarters in order to do the
service they will give the community
Lut rather that people here will lit
erallv open their homes and receive
them in the spirit in which they come
into our community. These ladies are
all from the best families in their
respective localities and should make
charming additions to families who
will accommodate them during the
school season, in addition to being a
patriotic and praiseworthy service to
the community.
All who can accommodate the
teachers are asked to communicate
with supt. ]. z. Mathis, stating how
many they can accommodate, without
delay.

CHANGES IN FIGHTING CONDI-
YIONS
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. Liberalization in the
activity of the infantry in the past
two days has given the appearance
of the REIMBURSEMENT of the pressure
on flying German lines from the
Somme to scissors.
The altered face of the battle is
due to changes in the conditions of
the groun dand tactics and though
the fighting has been confined to COM
paratively short sectors north of
SCISSORS, north of Noyon and round
Nesle, enlargements of the utmost i'm
portance have been in progress in
which the allies have gained advan-
.ages that explain the enormous sac
rifices the Germans made to hold them
off at those points.
North of scissors, General Mangin's s
forces after three days of furious COM
hats in which positions were taken
and retaken several times, have push
ed forward on the plateau which over
locks the valley of the Ailette.
Meet Germany's Bests
The French and Americans met
around Juvigny the elite of the Ger

guard picked storming battalions and
hardy mountain infantrymen. They
defeated them decisively, taking an
enormous toll from their ranks and
sending a goodly number of capttves
to the rear.
