ARE IN FRANCE
All Records Broken for Trans-
porting Overseas Large
Military Unit.
AMPLE SUPPLIES ON HAND
American Fighting Force Will
Soon Join Allies in the
Trenches.
WASHINGTON D. C.. June 28. —
Somewhere in France thousands of
America's fighting men are today en.
camped ready to take their places in
the trenches beside the seasoned
campaigners of the allies.
Regulars and marines fresh from
service on the Mexican border or in
Haiti or Santo Domingo were landed
yesterday after a voyage in which
the German submarines were eluded
and all records were broken for
transporting overseas a large mili-
tary unit. News of the arrival of
troops sent a thrill through Ameri-
ca as it was generally unknown that
any large detachment had yet left
these shores.
Net Gain to Allies.
The forces will be a net gain to
the allies as the men will be fed.
clothed armed and equipped by this
government. Already there are being
stored at the encampment supplies
sufficient for many months.
The American forces will be an in-
dependent unit co-cperatlng with
the allies. It has been suggested that
the Americans might be placed as a
connecting link between the French
and British armies but the exigen-
cies of coming campaigns will de-
cide that question.
Press dispatches from France
presumably sent forward with the
approval of General Pershing's staff
show that Major General Sibert one
of the new major generals of the
army has been given command of
the first force sent abroad tinder
General Pershing as commander-in-
chief of the expedition.
Considering the distance to be
covered and the fact that all prepa-
rations had to be made after the
order came from the White House
May 18 it is certain that never be-
fore has a force been assembled
and landed without mishap in so
short a time by any nation. It is a
good augury of future achievements.
The only rival in magnitude is the
movement of British troops to South
Africa in the Boer war and that
was made over seas that were un-
hampered by submarines mines or
other obstacles.
Supplies for Months Provided.
The American forces will throw-
no single burden of supply or
equipment on the allies. The troops
will be fed clothed armed and
equipped by the United States.
Around them at the camp on French
soil are being stored supplies that
will keep them going for months
and more will follow.
General Pershing and his staff
have been busy for d^ys preparing
for the arrival of the men. Despite
the enormous difficulties of unpre-
paredness and submarine dangers
that faced them the plans of the
army genet I staff have gone
through with clock-like precision.
When the order came to prepare
immediately an expeditionary force
to go to France virtually all of the
men now across the seas were on
the Mexican border. General Persh-
ing himself was at his headquarters
in San Antonio. There were no army
transports within the Atlantic. The
vessels that carried the troops were
scattered on their usual routes. Army
reserve stores still were depleted
from the border mobilization. Regi-
ments were below war strength.
War Department In Action.
That was the condition when
President Wilson decided that the
plea of the French high commission
should be answered and a force of
regulars sent at once to France. At
his word the War Department began
to move.
General Pershing was summoned
quietly to Washington. His arrival
created some speculation in the
press but at the request of Secre-
tary Baker the newspapers gener-
ally refrained from discussing the
point.
There were a thousand other ac-
tivities afoot in the department at
the time. All the business of pre-
paring for the military registration
of 10000000 men of providing
quarters and instructors for nearly
50000 prospective officers for fire-
arms and equip nent for millions of
troops yet to be organized of ex-
panding the regular army to full war
strength of preparing and recruit-
ing the National Guard for war was
at hand.
General Pershing dropped quietly
into the department and set up the
first headquarters of the American
expeditionary forces in a little office
hardly large enough to hold himself
and his perso- I staff. There with
the aid of the general staff of Sec-
retary Baker and of the chiefs of
the War Department bureaus the
plans were worked out. •
War Supplies Assembled.
Great shipments of war supplies
began to assemble at the embarka-
tion ports. Liners suddenly were
taken off their regular runs with no
announcement. A great armada was
made ready supplied equipped as
transports loaded with men and
guns and sent to sea and all with
virtually no mention from the
press.
The navy bears its full share in
the achievement. From the time the
troop ships left their docks and
headed toward the sea responsibility
for the lives of their thousands of
men rested upon officers and crews
of the fighting ships that moved
beside them or swept free the sea
lanes before them. As they pushed
on through the days and nights to-
ward the danger zone where German
submarines lay in wait every pre-
caution that trained minds of the
navy could devise was taken. The
news from France shows that the
plans were well laid.
While his troops were embarking
or steaming toward their destination
General Pershing and his staff sup-
plemented by a special corps of gen-
eral staff officers have been busy
in France preparing the way for the
new army that is to flin*_itself soon
against the German lines. The camp
sites have been selected the de-
tails of the final training to be given
before the move to the front be-
gins have been worked out and the
question of supply and transporta-
tion lines studied. Regiments of the
national army composed of railroad
workers and engineers will aid in
that work. They too have been cre-
ated in a few weeks time.
An Independent Force.
The War Department has no an-
nouncement to make as to General
Pershing's disposition of his forces.
Presumably that has been left to
him to decide in conference with the
French general staff and with offi-
cials of the British army. The Ameri.
can troops will be an independent
force co-operating with the allies.
It has been suggested that the
American forces might be placed be-
tween the French and British forces
as a connecting link but the ex-
igencies of the planned campaigns
will govern that question.
SIBERT ESTEEMED BY FRANCE.
General One of "Five Immortals''
Who Built Panama CanaL
Maj. Gen. William L. Sibert who
has been given command of the
first force seat abroad under Gen-
eral Pershing has long been es-
teemed by France as one of the most
eminent living engineers.
General Sibert while a colonel of
engineers was one of the "five im-
mortals" who built the Panama Ca-
nal. His personal work was the con-
struction of the Gatun dam. the
great locks which are generally re-
garded as the greatest engineering
feat of modern times and the great
spillway.
On his return to the United States
General Sibert was given a line com-
mand and for the last two years he
has been in charge of all the artil-
lery on the Pacific coast.
The selection of General Sibert
for service in France Is also a recog.
nition that this is an engineering
and artillery war. and it is expected
that his duties back of the firing
line will be second in importance
only to those c.’ General Pershing.

in reducing the prices the tentative
prices fixed to continue until the in-
vestigation into costs and conditions
warranted an Increase or reduction.
He suggested that the tentative fix-
ing of prices should not affect
present contracts or export trade.
The second resolution directing
the conference committee to pro-
ceed immediately to fix a tentative
price without waiting for ascertain-
ment of costs was adopted practi-
cally unanimously. It authorized the
Secretary of the Interior the Federal
Trade Commission and the Defense
Council committee on coal produc-
tion to ‘forthwith issue a statement
fixing a tentative maximum price
which in their judgment is fair and
reasonable as applied to the several
coal districts with which coal shall
be sold from and after the first
day of July until the accurate costs
have been ascertained and a fair and
reasonable price based thereon fixed
by said government agencies.

BL STIMULATED
Committee of Citizens to

RALLIES TO BE HELD
Whistles to Be Blown and
Band to Parade to Call
Attention to Work.
“Enlist among your friends or be
drafted to an unknown place tn the
army" is the slogan of a movement
of citizens and National Guard offi-
cers which was originated Thursday
to induce young men to enter one
of the units of the Texas National
Guard now being organized here. At
a meeting held at noon at the gener-
al headquarters of the field artillery
211 St. Mary's Street a citizens com-
mittee of 25 .was chosen to arouse
eligible San Antonians to the need of
enlisting voluntarily instead of wait-
ing to be drafted. From now until
Saturday night every nerve will be
strained to bring home to San An-
tonians the imperative need for join-
ing one of the guard units and the
whistles heard Thursday will be
heard continuously until Saturday
night.
Pursuant to the plans adopted at
the meeting two big rallies will be
held on Alamo Plaza Thursday night
and lYiday night at 8 o’clock. To
awaken interest in the meetings Col.
Malvern-Hill Barnum. chlef-of-staff
to General James Parker placed an
army band at the disposal of those
in charge of the movement and it
was planned to have this band pa-
rade the streets during Thursday and
Friday afternoon and evening and to
be present Thursday and Friday
night on Alamo Plaza to furnish pa-
triotic music. Coincidently with the
band parade numbers of volunteers
from the commercial establishments
who have already enlisted will march
throught the streets carrying suitable
banners.
More Volunteers Less Draft.
The number of men to be taken
from San Antonio will depend on the
number of those who have volun-
teered according to a telegram re-
ceived Thursday by Captain Davis
McCown who is recruiting one of
the field artillery batteries here. This
telegram which is from Gen. John
A. llulen reads:
"The number of men to be drafted
by the Federal government In your
community will be reduced by the
number of men who have taken the
oath of enlistment in the Texas
National Guard up to and including
midnight of June 30. You will there-
fore strive with all your energy and
ability to get all the men possible
to take the oath of enlistment on or
before Saturday night.
“At exactly 3 o'clock Saturday after-
noon you will wire this office (the
office of General Hulen at Houston)
the exact total number of men who
have taken the enlistment oath up
to that minute. You will then con-
tinue enlisting every man possible
up to midnight when you will again
report your total up to that hour by
wire."
"This means” said Captain Me-
Gown “that if the Federal draft calls
for 5000 men from this community
and the number voluntarily enlist-
ing in the guard up to Saturday
night reaches 1600. then the com-
munity will be given credit for those
1600 and the draft will only be 3400
men. Men who are subject to the
draft should much prefer to enlist
voluntarily."
Citizens Committee Working.
The citizens committee named at
the meeting Thursday to encourage
volunteers to enlist in the guard took
hold Immediatelyy- The sum of 8425
was raised at the meeting to be used
in posters advertising and other ex-
penses the contributors being: Fred
W. Cook. 5100; L. J. Hart $100: J. M.
Watson $100; Floyd McGown $5O;
Dr. Frederick Combe $25; Thomas E.
Mathis $25 and William A Wurzbach
$25. Members of the committee
present at the meeting included J. V

J M Watson. Thomas E. Mathis. Dr.
Frederick Combe. Ted Milburn Vic-

In appealing for volunteers for the
guard stress is laid on the fact that
recruits are placed among their own
friends and comrades and. to a great-
er or lesser extent can choose their

Where the action occurred was
I the scene of an ambuscade of the
French in the beginning of 191»
which resulted in considerable
French losses. Located on n ridge
the French and German trenches
were separated by only a few yards.
The French objective was to drne

The German trenches were won in
