New York, April 2S.-The American
Legion, the proposed veterans asso-
citation for men of the army and navy,
announced today that temporary state

ries have been instructed to arrange
for state caucuses to be held on April
&c for the election of delegates to the
national caucus which is to be held
in st. Louis May s, 9, and 10. The
number of delegates from each state
is to be twice its congressional repre-
sentation with a similar number of al
ternates.
The secretaries were instructed also
to see that so per cent of the dele
gates to the st. Louis caucus and of
the state committees should be enlist
ed men.
The temporary executive committee
of the legion has issued statement

FRENCH TIGER TAKES
SYSTEMATIC EXERCISE

Paris, April .-(Correspondence of
The Associated Press.) - Premier
Clemenceau's wonderful constitution
is ascribed partly to the fact that he
devotes half an hour every morning
to physical exercises. At eight o'clock
Edouard Leroy, his gymnastic master,
arrives to put him through series of
movements demanding the greatest
fiexibility in all parts Of the body.
M. Clemenceau, attired in gymnastic
costume, endeavors to perform exact
ly the most difficult exercises. Some
times, however, when a sudden idea
crosses his brain, he darts from the
room to make note of his inspira-
tion.
For years the Premier has not miss
ed his morning drill except for few
days after the attempt made to assas-
sinate him by Coffin, but he resumed
it as soon as it was safe to do so. 1t
is to this daily exercise that NJ Glenn
enceau attributes his interchangeable en-
ergy. . Even during the most anxious
hours of the German offensive he con-
scientiously went through the drill and
found that after sleepless night it
made him fit for the strenuous tasks
of his Office. The lesson is followed by
vigorous massage. Ten minutes later,
the premier, who rises at six in the
morning, winter and summer, leaves
in his car for the war Office, fresh and
ready for the days work

without a hitch. The new mine
installations worked perfectly. On
this first operation one ship emp
tied herself of 675 mines without
a single break, one mine every IL Y
seconds through more than two
hours, the longest series ever plant

The squadron was always ready
to make excursions as fast as the
mines could be furnished and never
failed in any operation.
"Not only that, the casualties
were very few One man fell over
board at sea from the Saranac and
there were four other deaths among
the 1000 men which might have
occurred under any conditions.
There was no other loss of life
nor other injury and, despite the
close navigation, near mine fields,
no ship ever came to grief, thanks
largely to Captain Butler and Navi-
gator Cunningham, of the flagship
San Francisco.
"In addition to the value of the
barrage itself, in keeping the enemy
submarines in or from their bases,
the mine squadron was expected to
serve as a bait to draw out the
German fleet. This ever present
possibility and the fact that the
working ground lay in the prin-
cipal thoroughfare of enemy sub
marines, with attendant incidents
of periscopes sighted, submarine
reports, depth charges, smoke
screens, floating mines, and dead
German sailors floating by, lent ex-
element to the work, which was
often hard but never dull"

YANKEE MINES
HELD U-BOATS
At HUN BASES

WASHINGTON American
mining squadron, which, in conjunc-
ton with the British navy, blazed
230-mile trail of mines across the
North Sea from the Orkneys to the
coast of Norway has returned home
with the story of how this great
achievement in the campaign to
throttle the German submarines was
contributed.
Captain Reginald r Belknap.
commander of this fleet of ten
ships-two light cruisers and eight
converted merchant photographic
ally described in a statement re-
Gently the work Of laying 70,10O
mines which made up the so-called
North Sea barrage and announced
that at least seventeen enemy sub
mersibles were known to have come
to grief in attempting to pass thru
this field.
The American ships laid $3.50
of the total number of these
American invented and manufac-
tured engines of destruction. The
field averaged rs miles in width
and nowhere was it less than Is
miles across, an hours run for
submarine. If safe course were
sought underneath, several lines of
mines would be found there equally
deep, and if the submarines went
down even deeper, mines were
ready for them there, too, and one
touch was enough.
Before the barrier was half
way across said Captain Belk-
nap, "the barrage began to yield
results. Early in July, 1918, after
the second excursion of the mine
layers and from time to time re-
ports would come of submarines
damaged or disappearing in that
area From the nature of the case
it may never be known definitely
how many actually did come to
grief there, but the best informa-
ton gives a probable ten before
the middle of October, with final
total of seventeen or more. In ad-
dition to this toll the squadron
should be credited with two sub
marines lost in the fields of British
mines laid by the Baltimore off the
Irish coast"
The American squadron arrived
at Inverness last May 26 ready to
begin operations and twelve days
later started on its first mine
planting excursion. On these
trips which lasted from 40 to 80
hours, the squadron was part of
the British grand fleet, and for
protection against submarines and
raiding cruisers, it was accompanied
by British destroyers and battle
ships or battle cruisers.

what feelings we saw our own ships

and slowly disappear in the haze
as they swept off to the southeast
ward. 1t will be readily under
stood that the way had to be made
smooth for the mine planters. A

or few enemy shells would GER
