AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE
Washington, Juno27.:?The 'advance
guard of the mighty army the United
States Is preparing to send against
(iermany Is on French soil tonight.
In defiance of flu- German subma*
riucs, thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting' men,
with the yjail of long service on tho
Mexican isvr<lei\ of Haiti .of Santo
Domingo still on their gices, have
been hastened over seas to fight be
side the French, the British, the Bel
gian, -the Russian, the Portuguese arid
tbe I in l iti n troops oo the western front.
News of the safe arrival of the troops
sent a new thrill through "Washiffif
ton. No formal announcement came
from the war department. None
wm come, probably, until Major Gen
eral Pershing's official report has been
received. Then there may be a state*
inent as to the numbers and compo
sition of the advan& guard.:
*bess dispatches from France, pre
siimdHf sent forward with the ap
proval of General . Pershing's staff
-how that Major General Hibert, one
of the new Major "Generals of the
Army, bax been given comnuuid of the
first force sent abroad, under General
Pershing as commander-in-ohlef *of
the expedition. Iv
One.--thing stands out Sharply,
despite tli.e fact.that the sIko of the
task that has been" accomplished Ik
iiot fully revealed as yet. This is.
that Amerioan enterprise has net a
new record for the transportation of
troops.
Considering the distance to be cov
ered and the fact* that all preparations
had to be made after thv order came
from the White House the night of
Bitty 18, It Ik iii-.'n-ttcnlly certain that
never l?efore has a military exj>edltlon
of this slsje been assemble*!. eoovv^Mf
arid landed without mishap In ho short
a time'by any nation. The only rival
In magnitude is the movement of Bri*

The American forces will be fed,
