PERSHING'S MEN ARE
READY FOR PLACES ON
WESTERN BATTLE LINE
Washington. July IS. (I: N. S.)
Pershing's men will take their places
on the western front very shortly.
They could be used today if the neces
sity demanded it Confidential re
ports received ln Washington show
that the Pershing division already has
more than a good working knowledge
of latest war methods.
The camp Instruction under French
experts has developed that the train
ing the men got on the Mexican bor
der has made them absolutely fit. But
they are being held ln base Headquar
ters and their training is continued
until their reserve units get on tha
ground.
Arrivals to Ba Xept Seeret
There will be no official announce
ment of the arrival of the new units
on French soil. Tba war daparlmen
has made it plain that as fast as
American troops are equipped and
made ready to fight they will ba sent
forward overseas. But there Is to be
no parading of that development. The
fact that the initial Pershing division
got through without casualties now Is
admitted to have been due mora to
good luck than to anything else. Con
sequently there is no mora parading
of laden transports down rivers and
out through bays past ferry boats so
that all of 'the world may know that
American soldiers are on tha way to
the front.
Two Generals Xeacn X,cadoa
It was annoifnced today in dis
patches from London that Generals
Biddle and Blatchford had arrived
there en route to France, accompanied
by their staffs. The war department
had nothing to add to the bare state
ment. It simply was pointed out that
general officers and staff off.cers will
go forward ln regular order, now that
the Unit 3d States Is about to take over
its own section of tha battle front.
Officials were well pleased, how
ever, by the announcement of Secrtr

Police Chief Schuettler said this aft

Freight Traffic Nearly Paralysed
Nearly half of the transcontinental

the present this has been refused.

and as a result the American peoplo

prepared the way for them to go to

to exact an agreement with the rail

according to the statement of the

Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie The delays
in congress ln taking action on ad

for prompt and efficient action which
will put the nation in a position to
wage a successful war on land and

Baking company Congress has been
wasting much valuable time discuss
ing the food situation. Still the issue
is unsettled. Administrator .Hoover is
right. The government should take
over all the exportable surplus. It is
time the senators and representatives
are waking up to the realization that
action and not talk is the need of the
hour.

would solve our national problems.

Congressmen who are halting the

crisis are making a bitter mistake. In
the matter of food regulation, for in

hands were not tied, could solve the
problem of high prices. He should

farmers to the exclusion of other im

Equipment Will Be Complete
They will go with all the equipment
needed for modern warfare Mr. Baker
made this plain when he explained to
the correspondents, for Instance, that
the item in the budget for more than
$2,000,000,000 labeled "Coast Defense,'
Armament,'' in reality means heavy
artillery.
"We have stuck to the old designa
tions with regard to ordnance," said
Mr. Baker. "Coast Defense Armament'
means everything bigger than a 3-inch
cannon." .
He merely smiled when asked If the
guns to be made with this money are
to be sent to France
Thus, while all preparations . are
being made for a life and death strug

For some years, various and sundry concerns have been making beverages which are
grouped under the general description of ."near-beer."

of the bottle alone

against imitations. Not just imitations of the product, remember but
those more insinuating imitations which try to deceive you by putting
an old failure into a bottle similar to a new success. So look for theso
unmistakable marks of the genuine Bevo demand that the bottle bo
