TITASHINUTON, May
21. (U.
vv
P.) America's first field
rmy approximately 200.000 men
-h!is been formed in France. It
! understood to consist of two
Ermy corps of three divisions
ach, "with Colonel A. W. Bjorn
lad as chief of staff. Major
Ueneral Hunter Liggett is under
, stood to command one of the
"army corps.
Army officer here, however, believe
that Liggett, being Mentor, will command
the field army and Major General
Charles T. Menoher, who has been com
mander of the lUlnbow division, will
command one of the army; corps.
.-Arraegmot Osly Prevlalosal
The present arrangement, according
to information here, is provisional la
order to try- out plans of organization
which heretofore have been theoretical.
So far as the American army la con
cerned. Changes may be made In the
slse and arrangement of the unit and
also in the commanders. Field armies.
It Is pointed out, are not of Uniform
strength, but; are rearranged from time
1 to time a, strategical, considerations
dictate. . For offensive operations
field army generally Is augmented by
the adSition of several divisions. ,
I The American divisions, of which It
Is understood, there will .be three to a

tion. However, each corps has some
10,000 "corps troops" heavy artillery
And signal -. battalions, field artillery,
cavalry and pioneer regiments and aero
squadrons making; each corps approxi
matcly 1 OO.OOO men.
I V Heasoaad Troops Employed
I Unless th British army Is greatly
reinforced in the next two or three
months, it Is likely that by August
the number of United States troops In
France will closely approximate the
else of Halg's forces now facing the
. Germans.
I This startling revelation of gigantic
strides being made by this country In
putting men on .the firing line came to
day from authoritative circles here.
I Brigading of American troops with the
British continues. Presumably men
from 'the national army are the ones
used to take their, places with the
British.
L Formation lot the field army Is ac
comp!l8hed by use of seasoned troops
which have been In Francs for a long
. penoo.

The patrol crept across No Man's
Land at a point where the lines ars
about 200 yards ; apart. In the . dis
tance the shattered- church tower ana
the jagged walls of. other buildings
in Cantlgny stood like ghosts in ths
moonlight. '
A strong: Boche patrol attempted to J
surround the Americans oui scanerea
when the latter opened fire. The
American patrol made Its way back
without losing a man. -
The greatest ' aerial ? activity contin
ues ; day and night along the front.
Eombs were dropped near an American
hospital, but no one was Injured. The
barking of the anti-aircraft guns, ths
breaking of shells in the Sky and the
hum of airplane motors, is almost
constant.
Across in the German lines,' flash
lights streak the sky, mingling with
the flare and glare of guns.
The expected bombardment in con-:
junction with ' the scheduled ' resump
tion of the German offensive has not
materialized. ' '
This morning- the aerial . artillery-
shelled German positions and the
Boches made only a slight reply.

with obtaining his naturalisation pa

That Swelgin was naturalised in 1913
in Marshfield. two years after he had

clared he believed In the government.
but that it "needed some changes." .
When Judge Wolverton asked him if
he would be willing to take up arms in
defense of the government, he replied
"Well. I am a conscientious objector."
He said he was In sympathy with the
