AMERICAN TROOPS
TRAIN WITH BRITISH
Our Boys Are Being Brigaded With Gen
eral Haigs Reserve Divisions AS
Line Reinforcements

Washington, May 17-Evidence of
the success of emergency measures
to bring American manpower to the
aid of the French and British armies
in repelling the German drive came
today with the announcement that
American troops had reached Fland-
ers. Official reports were lacking to-
night, but Secretary Baker and army
officials accepted press advices that
the first contingent of the forces to
be brigaded for training and ouera-
tions with the British army had ar
rived.
Soldiers from General Pershing' S
army have been in line with the
French and British in front of Amines
for some time. Less than two months
has been required to get the first of
these troops across the sea and into
position.
Nothing is available at the War De-
partment to indicate the identity or
numbers of the men in Flanders.
The men are described as being Gin
training" in the British zones. That
is taken here to mean that they are
being brigaded with British divisions
in reserve and will get their final sea-
soning with Sir Douglas Haig's army.
Unless a great emergency arises when
the German assault is renewed, it is
not regarded as probable that the
American battalions will be employed
on the front line for some time.
The immediate result of greatest
importance probably is that the bat
talions of British troops displayed in
these divisions by the Americans will
be available to fill up other British
divisions to full strength for the or
sanization of new British divisions,
as General Haig deems best. To that
extent, the Americans are now acting
as reinforcements for the British
lines. If the course of the German
offensive permits, the same practice
followed in training General PERISH
ing's original forces probably will be
carried out in Flanders. In that
case, the divisions with which Amer
lean units have been brigaded will
De given front line duty in quite sec
tors for a time until the Americans
are seasoned to trench warefare. There
after, the divisions undoubtedly will
De used wherever the course of bat
lie takes them. The Americans are
a part of the British army until it
will seem to withdraw them for SER
vice directly under General Pershing.
