METHOD OF BRIGADING
 SAME IN THREE ARMIES

The secretary laid stress on the fact that exactly the same pocess of brig ading new units With veteran divisions for initial training is followed in the American army as is followed with tke French or British army.
 When a new division arrives in France, it is broken up into small units. which are distributed in divis- ions back from the front for their rest period The new men continue with the veterans until they have seen front line service. Then they are reassem- bled and do tour of duty at the front under supervision of veteran staff of ficers in order to gain experience Tn functioning as divisional unit under fire. The men then are withdrawn for a rest period and they next corue for ward to take their place in the line as trained division, ready for battle.
 The time necessary for this training has been materially reduced as the sys- ten, has been perfected. By using the British forces as we'll as with the hripading method with French and brit- isb forces as we'll as with the Amer ican veteran divisions, almost any mum : her of divisions can be made ready sl- muItaneousIy. The brigading of the Americans with French and English units serves the double purpose or training the new men and giving the allied armies additional man power Tn inc present emergency.

 NOT BE OPPOSED lSays People of His District Appre- ciate His Support of the Presi- dent-Praise From the Commander-in-C Chief

Washington, June 1.-(Special.)-Con- gressman Heflin was warmly congratu- lated tonight by many of his colleagues in the House when he told them that he would be a candidate to succeed him self in that body. When asked if he wolld have opposition, he said:
 "No; don't think 1 will. The people of my district are very patriotic and they indorse the support I have given to the President and the country. l have just had long talk with the Pres ident, and while I have felt that I have assisted him in every way that l could in providing for the national defense, he made me feel that I had been a source of real comfort and help to him. When you remember that all that we hold dear is involved in our cause and that he is the leader of that cause, you can understand and appreciate the par donable pride I feel when he expressed appreciation of my humble service. When this horrible war is over if I can have the commander in chief of our army and navy say then what he says now regarding my humble services. shall feel that I have made the very best con tribution that I was capable of making to our boys in uniform, and to our coun- try in the darkest hour of her history. ;

Washington, June 1.-In a letter to Chairman Pou of the House rules com mittee today. George Creel. chairman of the committee on public information denies that he is socialist No ln- dustria' Workers of the World have been employed at the committees offices Creel asserts.

TO HURRY
 AMERICANS TO FRANCE

As the German efforts continue the war department is exercising every ef- fort to further expedite the movement of Am erican troops to France. General March in his talk to the senators laid stress on the vital importance of speed in the American programme. In this connection. an official statement from Secretary Baker as to the troop moye- ments is to be expected soon Pending that announcement speculation or the
 publication of information regarding
 the present strength of the American army in France has been specifically forbidden.
 MT. Baker explained in some detail today the process by which American divisions are being quickly whipped 1 into shape when they reach the other 1 side. Only infantry and machine gun units are brigaded with the British, MT Baker said while all artillery pre- l pares for front line duty either with l the French or with veteran American batteries Engineers, signal corps and
 other auxiliary arms also are trained largely with the French and Ameri can forces.

transport President Lilcoln yesterday by q German submarine. Vice Admiral Sims delay in making reports was be- lieved by Secretary Daniels to be due to failure of his efforts to secure in- formation from the destroyers which answered the big transports distress calls.
 As the President Lilcoln was some 500 miles from land on her homeWard voyage when attacked, it would re- quire sometime for the rescue ships to make port with the survivors and complete reports were not looked for until these could be questioned.
 Naval officials here believe that it is entirely possible that the former Ger man steamer was not under convoy when torpedoed. As the ship was out- side of the ordinary limits of sub,na- rine warfare and was speedy vessel, the convoy might have been dropped sometime before the attack was made.

General March Tells Senate Committee That in His Opinion Peak of Present Offensive Reached
There Is No Dependency in Washington Though the Situation Is Considered Serious

Washington, June 1.-- With the crown princess army now standing on the north bank of the Marne, army officials here believe the German advance in that direction will stop while increased pressure is eX- erted against the Chateau Thierry- Soisson line in the eff fort to consolidate completely the Aisne and Picardy battle theatres. Such consolidation is regarded as a necessary prepa- ration for an advance on Paris or for new assault on the Alniens front.
 This view of the situation in France was communicated to members of the Senate military committee today by General March, chief of staff, during the weekly conference of the senators with war department officials.
 Other officers who are closely study ing the reports from the front are known to share General March's views. Many of them believe however that General Foch, the allied commander in chief, counted on just such an eff fort by the Germans, and that the most stubborn fighting of the present of fensive will come as the Germans seek to press westward south of Soissons.
 Already the French have reacted viz orously against the enemy at various points along the line .there and with good success. This is taken as an in- dication that reserves have been massed for use in this sector while the Marne formed the line of defense in the center.
