SAMMY GETS BATTLE
ORDER AT EARLY DATE j
i
(By Daniel Dillon.)
Permanent American Training Ca.mp
in France, July 21.?(Delayed).?
"Training to fight a white man is a
bigger job- than licking a yellow,"j
sighed a "Sammy" at the close of a j.
hard day of maneuvering tonight. The j
French troops have convinced the |
American soldiers of the seriousness
of their task and of the necessity of j
getting themselves into the finest pos-.
sible condition for the day when they!
are to carry the Star Spangled Banner j
in storming assault against the Teu-j
ton lines
- ? - ~ ,
A Jllard tfnn<L ?
Every "Sammy" now knows that the
farewell heard in New York, "See yoa ,
again at Christmas," will scarcely be ,
fulfilled. Hard work, the most strenuous
grind and the fiercest fighting
lie ahead on the front where millions
of men are engaged. There is hop.*,
howe.er, that one staggering blow,
will arouse internal disruptions in j
Germany. This hope is strengthened
by the fact that the reichstag has pass- |
ed the peace resolution.

diers to the French training camp are j
to become part of the daily routine. A I
special department has been opened'
by the French military authorities. It
is in charge of a corps of French in- j
structors. Beginning Monday two
hours daily will be set aside at the!
American camp for drills. The "Sam- J
mies" are to learn the French tactics!
bayonet fighting and the use of hand
grenades as penectea as me icsuu
of the lessons of three years of war.!
I
The American soldiers are taking eag-i
erly to this new work. I
Ready Soon. ? I
It is 'believed that the troops will
be ready for actual fighting before
the time generally anticipated. j
Yesterday was the first payday at
the American, camp. The French itradespeople
were mad^ happy, in- j
deed, not long after the paymaster or
the American expedition had paid out
over one million francs ($200,000).=
The "Sammies" sought eagerly to.
?pend their money but found very lit- j
tie outlet for it. Many souvenirs were'
"bought for the folks back home. Wiiy
veterans inveigled the rookies into
various innocent ipastimes that result-;
in a sudden change of money. How- j
ever, most of the American soldiers j
went to bed nursing a Rockefeller ,
feeling. ^ I
With plenty of money in their pock-;
ets the troops wandered through c
town buying whatever struck their
fancy. At night there was not a wrist
j watch left in any store. The difficulty
of purchasing Is obviated by Amer
ican interpreters, most of whom are
college men who give their services j
? . . i
freely to help the cause. These interpreters
are performing army signal
advice, n the other hand there are a
number of men attached to the general
staff who instruct the French troops
k in English. A number of these vrere

Every effort is being made to protect j

Today the division surgeon delivered
the first series of compnay talk?

Put 2 or 3 drops of "Gets-It" on the 1

begin to. shrivel from that instant?
then it loosens and falls right off.
There's no other corn-remover in
the world that acts like "Gets-It."
No new discovery has been made in
corn-removers since "Gets-It" was
born. Don't forget that fact. "GetsIt"
does away forever with the use
of salves that irritate^ bandages that

scourge of infectious diseases caused
by this war is as great in its importance
and danger as the actual battle.
He indicated how diseases may
be prevented and instructed the men
in protective measures. He warned
particularly a^aii-st the use of unaltered
water. He preached the gospel
of cleanliness and stated that the general
health of the troops was excellent.

Every man in the expeditionary |
force is vaccinated against typhoid,1

cessary vaccines are administered, i
There will' be no vaccination against
cholera until there are indications
i
of the disease. j
French Hospital. j
A French hospital has been taken
over by the expedition as a base hosoital.
It is to be manned by the
Johns Hopkins unit headed by noted
specialists. It contains more than 1,000
beds and is splendidly equipped
in every way. More than 100 Red
Cross nurses, 30 physicians and 150
male attendants, partly French, are
to arrive in a few days, whereupon
the hospital will be formally opened.
The equipment and supplies are all
American and are abundantly on
hand. Inventories are to be taken
I
every 10 days. (
At present all cases are treated in
the field hospital where they are sent
I
by the regimental hospitals containing
12 beds each. The medical system :s
"three cornered." First, the regimen-,
tal hospital; second, the field hospital.'
and third, the base hospital. The lat
ter is receiving all serious cases.
American army surgeons are daily inspecting
the troops and their billets.
Sanitary regulations are strictly enforced.
Every field kitchen is in-1
spected daily.
Food Excellent I
The food is pronounced excellent,'
the men being fed splendidly. The
American expedition to date has set
a record for paucity of 3ickness. The
soldiers are now acclimated and it is
believed the loss from sickness will
be smaller than in any army in Eu-^
rope. !

Washington, July 23. ? The shipi
ping row lill he settled within 24
! hours. The president, alarmed today
at reports of the delay to 'the proi
gram laid strong hands upon the controversy
between General Goethalsand
Chairman D-enman.
As a result, changes in the personnel
of the shipping board are predicted
with certainty in high quarters.
The president took the matter up
immediately upon his return to Washmeton
thifl morning. This afternoon
he hurried to the office of Frank Folk,
acting secretary of state, then to the
office of Secretary of War Baker.
There gathered in that office immediately
Secretary Daniels of the navy
department, Chairman Denman and
the shipping committee of the Council
of National Defense.
Prods Tkem. '
Immediately after this meeting the
white house authorized the statement
that the whole shipping matter will
be straightened out within 24 hours.
It was learned today tnat ine principal
difficulty between General Goethals
and -his "board of directors" arises
ou* of thp plan of commandeering
ships now in the water and over contracts
for shipyards which the government
will build.
Commandeering ships was one of the
principal objects of the president's
call at the state and war departments
and of the conferences among the cabinet
members representing these
branches, the shipping committee and
the chairmen of the shipping board.

;
I confirmed today. At the same tim?
it was learned that Captain Wbite had
I
actually tendered his resignation many,
! weeks ago. He then gave ill health j
! as his reason for wishing to retire.:
j When the Goethals-Denman row be
j came hot Captain White intimated that j

moment. J
New Chairman.
I The most likely change in the per- j
sonnel of the shipping "board suggested
here tonight was that the president;
; would take advantage of Captain j
White's resignation to name a new!
I member of the board, possibly desig- j
Dating' him as chairman in place of!
! Mr. Denman. In such an event it is!
I

j With the new man at the shipping j
board head, the development of the
ship-builing progTam might at least j
be expected to proceed without acri- j
mony and with speed which it has
hitherto lacked. Once the points now,
i in dispute are settled it is considered
1 likely that Mr. Denman will retire, j
I I
| The president is not wholly cus;
pleased with the work Mr. Denman !
has done. He has learned that within
a week mnch progress has been f
made on the shipping program. Oon-j
tracts for 75 new ships have been let
within the time. They include both
wood and steel. The chief points of
disagreement appears to be the program
far commandeering ships already
in the water and for the erection
of the government-owned shipyards.
Nevertheless these items are
vital to the complete success of the
shipping program and the president
is not willing that they should be de-l
layed a moment longer than possible.
The formal reason for the gathering
of the -shipping men with the Council
of National Defense today concerned
j the commandeering of ships and the j
I program for reducing ocean freights
( by international cencert.
Stirred by the president's allusion to
abnormal profits in ocean freights in
his "blood-and-profit" letters, wide-,
i
spread action is under way to end thi3 \
a - J- -
sxate oi suicurs.
I The shipping board itself has no.
: power over off-shore rates. In the j
recent export control of hunker coal
i and oil and in joint action with Eng-1
! land, France and Spain, the govern-1
| ment has tremendous power to force
reductions.

^ecreiary of >avj Says He, and Not
( reel. Was Responsible lor
l'-Boat Battle.
Washington, July 22.--Secretary
I>aniels today explained the alleged
"elaboration" of .Admiral Gleaves' report
on the submarine attack against
the Pershing transports. It is contained
in a letter to Senator Tillman
in response to the latter's inquiry. j
An overpowering sense of joy in
both war and naval departments upon
the arrival of the troops, says Secretary
Daniels, dictated the phraseology j
of the announcement of their encount- j
er.
The exact dispatch of Admiral'
Gleaves was not made public, the
secretary says, because it came in code.'
Mr. Daniels assumes entire respon-'
sibilitv for the version of the incident
^ i
which reached the public. He refers j
to the story, coming from the Creel!
bureau and generally supposed to;
have been the 'product of the Creel j
committee, as "the statmenet which |
- i - il - LI!, t)
l save to me puunc. i
"If the terms 'battle' and 'attacked i
in force' are open to criticism," Mr. j
Daniels says, "the fact still remains!
that the rejoicing was warranted."
Anxiety.
His letter to Senator Tillman fol-j
lows:
"Late in the afternoon of July 3[
the welcome news cz.me that the last i
ship of the convoys and transports'
carrying the first American soldier!
and marines to fight in France hadj
reached its destination in safety, with-J
out accident or - injury to men or!
ships. The navy department had
known for five days prior to their arrival
that two attacks by submarines j
had been made, and you can well understand
the painful anxiety lest tor-'
pedoes should have caused the loss j
of some of the brave men who werei
carrying out this hazardous enterprlH. 1
You may imagine, therefore, the un-1
speakable relief to me which the news
announcing the arrival of the last ship!
brought. Tfte renei was, 01 luuisc
shared by all others ia the depart- '
ment who had been apprehensive ev-'
ery minute since June 28, when Admirable
Gleaves in a brief cable had
reported that submarines had made 1
attacks upon two divsioitf of the trans- j
ports.
"As soon as the news was communicated
by an officer of the war department,
I hanstened to the war department
to apprise the secretary of
war of the fact, for I knew he had felt
the deepest solicitude, as he was too
well informed of the attacks. It was
in no formal manner, I assure you,
the good news was given to Secretary j
Baker, and shook hands in exuiiauou
over the safety of our sailors and sol- j
diers and the accomplishment o1! the
first stage of giving the .present military
aid to the allies."
Mr. Daniels then, quotes the formal
exchange of congratulatory messages
which passed between him and Sec-i
retary Baker. He resumes:
To Gratify.
"At once the statement was pre-j
* --j fhnf ovpninsr
ipa.rea aim givcu uut buw v >.?w
I which I knew would intensely gratify
! all Americans. The message of Rear
I .Admiral Gleaves, announcing the attacks,
of course, had not been given
i to the public, and consequently it had
j been spared anxiety. When the fore
boding ending their rejoicing would
have exceeded anything I can express.
j "The statement which I gave ~o the
f public conveyed the feeling of all who
had been waiting and hoping for the
I reassuring telegram.
I "These facts were stated, not in the
wflpd? of the Gleaves cablegram.
'WJ. * ? j
for it is the immemorial policy of the j
, department in time of v/ar not to em!
ploy the language of a message com|
ing in code. Otherwise it would be
! easy for the enemy to learn the cij
ipher. Moreover the message of the i
rear admiral contained the names of j
the ships which for military reasons1
are never given out during a war.
The language used, as reference to
cablegrams v/ill show,, was thereforej
not the identical language of the cable

given to the public was that all j
our soldiers and marines and ships j
had been convoyed to Prance in safety. !

their arrival was heightened by the
fact that far outside the so-called i
danger zone they had been twice un-:
successfully attacked. If the terms;
i
'battle' and 'attacked' in force' are
open to criticism, the fact still remains \
that the rejoicing warranted it. If J
the torpedoes in either of the attacks I
had sank American ships, the criti
eism made v/ould not 'nave concerned '
iself with difference between what'
might have been called a 'battle' or!
an 'encounter' or a 'brush.'
"The cablegrams from the rear ad-'
miral which have not been given to the '
public for reasons above, are. of
course subject to the inspection of
the naval affairs committee.

CONGRESS FLAYED IN
LETTER <? SECTION 23
I
Wilson States Congressional Boards
Will Only Serve to Hamper U. S
Administration of World War.
Washington, July 22?The president i
tonight hit hard the effort of congress
to make itself jointly responsible
with him for the conduct of the
war.
In a letter to Representative Lever,
father of the foori control bill. Mr. I
Wilson demands the elimination of the j
joint congressional committee to:
supervise the financial conduct of the
war.
"I could only interpret its final i
adoption," the president wrote, "as
arising from a lack of confidence >n
myself."
"My dear Mr. Lever," the president's
letter runs, "I am very much,
obliged, to you for your thoughtful
courtesy in stating to me the circumstances
of the present action on the f
rood administration Din, ana i am par- ;
ticularly obliged to you for calling my J
attention to section 23. I deem it my J
duty to express my opinion about that I
section and its effects upon the whole
administration of the war very frankly
indeed, since the public interest
manifestly demands that I do so.
"Section 23 is not only entirely for- i
to thp subiect matter of the food I
administration in which it is incorporated
but would, if enacted into law.
render my task of conducting the war
practically impossible. I cannot be-f
lieve that those who proposed this
section scrutinized it with care or analyzed
the effects which its operation j
would necessarily have. The constant j
supervision of executive action which
it contemplates would amount to
nothing less than an assumption on
the part of the legislative body of tho
executive work of the administration.
"There is a very ominous precedent
in our history which 3hows how such
supervision will operate. I refer to
the committee on the conduct of the
war constituted hy congress during
the administration of Mr. Lincoln. It
a-ac th<a rausp of constant and dis
tressing harrassment and rendered
Mr. Lincoln's task; all but impossible.

the motives or the purposes of thd
members of such a committee; I am
ready to assume that they would wish,
to cooperate in the most patriotic
spirit, but cooperation of the kind is
not practicable in the circumstances.
The responsibility rests upon the administiV.tion.
There are abundant existing

THE SMALL COST OF
REGISTRATION BOARDS
Columbia, July 23.?Mr. (Wl C. McLain,
state disbursing officer for the
registration boards, stated today that
the total expense of registration under
the selective draft feature o'f the
army bill had been, to date, ony $lf353.31.
and that the total cost would
probably not run over $2,000. Tbe reason
for the small cost is the fact that
most of the work has been done free
of charge. Secretary Pu.kette of
