AMKIiK'AN THAIN1XO CAMP IN Franco, Sept. 27 (hy Ihe Associated Press), What an1 technically known as battalion problems arc just now engaging tin? atti'iitiou of tin? more auvauccd units of American troos training here for eventual work in the trenches. ' After I ho hntfalion problems will Home regimental problems, then hri gnde problems, anil lastly, divisional problems, for in modern war the di vision is the largest lighting unit which remains intact within an army organization. The corps change from time to time holli in I lie iiinn lier and the identity of their divis ions, hut the divisions retain their integrity Ihriinnl. Iliituillon l'lolilcins. Within a division the hiiltalion is the really important fighting unit and thus hiitlalioii problem:! are the liasts lor all that 'follows. 'I'he problems now engaging lint hattalioiis arc those met in ordinnrv routine trench warfare. 'I'he Americans are work ing them out alone, hat listening to criticism afterward from both P.rit Uh and l-'rcnch officers. The proper carrying out of rcpefs in trenches so that the enemy will not. know when one unit bus heeu replac ed hy another is one phase of the hattalion proldem which is being fol lowed with lidehty to conditions act ually found in the front line. Offom. ive and defensive prohlcms in hngi niiiiiher nad variety also are lieins; worked out with eommcluhihlc skill One important feature of the present training is the scinching of men and tin1 ue of captured licniian weapons of various -oils and descriptions. These wenpons have heen horrowed from the Krcaeh, hut the Americans hope to capture many for themselves soon alter thev eel a chance in the trenches. Particular attention is be ing paid to niM ructions in oper (ierman luachine cans and ti mortars, us well us several spec i bombs and hand grenades. Artillery Training.
