125,000 CHINESE AT FRONT.
Ambassador Says His Country Realizes
She Must Act Quickly in War.
New York, Jan. 3.?China has already
125,000 men behind the firing
lines in Mesopotamia and France, Dr.
^ Wellington Koo, Chinese ambassador
J to this country, said in an address
here today before the chamber of
commerce of the State of New York,
k When the Chinese commissioners now
the United States return to their
^^^pown country their advice to their
government, Dr. Koo said, undoubtjj^p
edly would result in Increased military
activity.
1 "China intends doing her utmost .
in thic sfrns,2rlp. asrainst autocracy,"
k the ambassador declared.
' The members of the commission,
Dr. Koo declared, had been greatly '
impressed by the earnestness of the \
American people in war preparations, i
"At present there are about 125,- (
000 Chinese with the allies in Mesopotamia
and' France," Dr. Koo declared.
"These are skilled bricklayers,
ifiasons, and carpenters, but when this
mission returns we have no
doubt that their advice will result
in increased military activity.
u "We have natural wealth and an
* abundance of cheap, but efficient la- ,
bor, and with the assistance of this ;
great nation we should be able to
do our share. We realize that we (
must do our bit and do it quickly." ,
U. S. Airmen Fly Over Huns.
- *
With the American Army in j
France, Jan. 5.?United States avia- s
tors have flown over the German bat- 1
tie lines and dropped bombs, in con- j
junction with British and French pi- 5
lots. The flights of the Americans 1
virtually was a reprisal for the killing
l of two American wood cutters during ((
I a German bombing expedition a week <
" ago.
Through the courtesy of the Brit- j
j ish and French flying authorities the ,
^ American aviators also have taken i
part in observation and photographic
work. It it not thought advisable I
to name the places where Americans r
flew on the bombing expedition, but t
it was well beyond the German air
defense lines at the front.
)
Emergency Rations for Fighting Men.
i m
J The equipment of no soldier is
jr complete without emergency food rations.
United States troops are sup- 1
>, plied with three different parched .
[ maize-meal packets and three choco- j
lates. The former is a revival of the
maize-meal of the American Indians, 3
on which they could exist for days v
while hunting or on the warpath. t
The "chain-shot" ration furnished I
Belgian, French and Teutonic sol- *
diers is a winter food of compressed (
meat. There are more than a dozen j
varieties of compressed teas used by t
the Russian commissary. Compress- .
ed rice and macaroni is supplied Ori- ]
ental forces. Oat-bread in sausage (
form is used by some of the North
British troops.
f. A curious ration is the compressed j
fig coffee of the Central Powers, I
. which may be either utilized for food 1
I as it is or converted into a coffee-like '
drink. Smoke-dried pears are used j
in the same armies. The Swiss sol- ]
dier receives an emergency ration of <
white chocolate, made entirely of ?
cocoa-butter and sugar. (
An Italian army chocolate is in ]
sausage-length form, while their J
plum duff goes into a beef membrane. (
Denounces Pro-German Aims. ,
(
A radio message from Lyons. C
France, to the Committee on Public j
Information quotes an editorial from j
the Frankfurter Zeitung of December ]
8. The Frankfurter Zeitung is a
liberal organ with a large circulation t
throughout the German Empire. It c
is quoted as saying: ?
"The German people desire in no c
sense whatever that the opportunity
presented by the favorable situation ?
on the east front should be used for i
realizing on the west front the vain (
dreams of the annexationist fanatics
of Pan-Germanism." ]

Army Nurses Must Be Increased. j
/ .
According to estimates based on 1
fe an Army of 1,500,000 men, 37,500
f nurses will be needed. The present strength
of the Army Nurse Corps
of the Medical Department is about
9 3,800. To increase this number by
I nearly 1,000 per cent in a year is
the task faced by the corps.
Hospitals at Army camps and cantonments
still need nurses to bring
the quota for each up to the minimum
of 65 considered necessary, although
since the urgent need for
nurses wasmade public in December
^ nearly 2,000 requests for application
9 blanks have been received.
In order to get the enrollments up
I to the needed number some of the requirements
heretofore imposed have
been waived. According to estimates
there are between 80,000 and 90,000
registered nurses in the country and
about 200,000 other graduate and
practical nurses.
I
Call for Bricklayers.
The first requisition under the new
selective-service regulations is for
bricklayers. In sending the call the
Provost Marshal General asked for
1,000 men to fill an urgent need of
the armies in France.
Only white men are wanted. They
report to the aviation section, Signal
Corps, Kelly Field, San Antonio, Tex.
All wooden Christmas boxes for
soldiers of the expeditionary forces
received too late for shipment will
be returned to the senders if return
postage is mailed to the superintendent,
Railway .Mail Service, New York,
N. Y.
