We considered con-sidered my proposal to form an American corns near Chut fan Thierry, to which he readily agreed. He epoke especially of the fine work of our troops.

' Meanwhile the Fourth and Twen ty-eighth divisions, en route from tiie Bruisn rroni 10 me nortneast of France, were stopped at General Foch's request In the vicinity of Villers Cotterets, the object being to concentrate several of our divisions di-visions on the west of the Marne salient, primarily as a precaution against another German offensive there, but ultimately for possible use on the offensive. The Second Third, Twenty-sixth and Forty-sec ond were In that area and with the Fourth and Twenty-eighth there was a force equivalent to twelve French divisions.1 An encouraging circumstance at the moment was the success of the French In holdine Von HnHpr'a t. tack on the Montdidier-Noyon front This fourth Dhase of the G offensive was an effort not only to widen the vulnerable Marne pocket but to secure the railway between Compeigne and Solssons and open the way to Paris.

The First Second and Third had already become be-come actively engaged, the First being slated to go-to the reserve near the Chateau Thierry salient when relieved from Cantigny.

' So serious was the situation regarded re-garded that It was no longer a demand de-mand for twenty-fonr division. h., for 100. It is probable thnt th vastness of this request was not fully realized, or else the aiiio ho greatly exaggerated Ideas of our power or accompusnment surprising surpris-ing as It actually proved to be. A brief calculation of these rto. mands of the prime ministers showed that they were asking more than 2,500,000 combatant troops by the following; snrln?. whtnh an niented by those required for the services of supply, conservatively calculated for a well-balanced force situated in a forelen mimtrv under the circumstances that sur rounded us, would amount at least to 4,000,000 men. The American combatant force would thus have entialed 50 iiivi. sions of the allies, and their apprehension appre-hension may be Imagined when we realize that this was greater by one-fourth than the combined allied armies or 102 divisions then on the western front. Saw 3,000,000 as Limit Although no such number ns this could have been considered feasible, feas-ible, as it is unlikely that it could have been either transnorted. equipped or supplied, It was necessary. neces-sary. In view of the situation, to lay plans for bringing over all we could. After giving the question careful shirty. It seemed to ma thnt 3,000,000 men would be the limit we could hope to reach by the spring or iyi9. This, roughly, would provide at least stitv-siT or nossihlv over seventy combatant divisions, the rest being necessary for the nou-comhntant nou-comhntant service. Aa we had hitherto made estimates based up- on a total force of 2,000,000 men. It was quite Imperative that calculations calcula-tions should be made on the Increased In-creased basis and that work everywhere every-where In the A. E. F. should now have that end in view. A cable I sent June 21 set forth the reasons for fixing the program for the future definitely at 3,OUO,00 men as a minimum, and urged upon the War department the utmost effort ef-fort to meet our Immediate requirements re-quirements for the expansion of port facilities and railroads. A detailed de-tailed study of the troop shipments and tonnage required was Included My cable closed: "There Is nothing so dreadfully Important as winning this war, and every possible resource should be made Immediately available.

CHAPTPR VI VII The Thirty-second, Thirty-fifth, rony-seeona and Seventy-seventh divisions were now in training under un-der the recently organized Third corps. Especial effort was being made to hasten their preparation in both staff and line In anticipation anticipa-tion of an early call for more seri ous service.

Cables from the War dennrt- ment June 22 stated that the col ored people at home were being told that netrro soldiers In France were always placed In the most dangerous positions, were being sacrificed to save white troops, and were often left on the field to die without medical attention. It was not difficult to guess the origin of this sort of propaganda. As a matter mat-ter of fact none of these troons had been in line except In quiet sectors, lhose 1 had recently seen were in fine spirits and seemed keen for active service.

No Profit in Keeping Weak Pullets in Flock Weak pullets should be disposed of as soon as possible after they are out of the Incubator, according to Leon Todd of the Purdue univer sity faculty. "Poorly feathered chicks, often called 'bare backs,' usually are the result of an Inherited tendency and one prominent hatchery man told me he had his flock owners band each poorly hatched chick," he said. "None of the banded birds was used as breeders, and after using this scheme It no longer was necessary to use band3 to identify the 'bare backs.' 'Keep young birds and layers separated to prevent disease." he warned. "Place the brooder house In clover or alfalfa, near a corn field, and move It a few yards every three or four weeks, and be sure there is plenty of water for the birds." Poultry Hygiene The task of poultry hygiene Is two-fold, because It aims not only to promote health but also to protect pro-tect and defend It In connection with the former, conditions are sought to be established under which the vital functions of the animal body can be performed with the least hindrance and at the max imum efficiency, while the latter Is designed to either ward off actual causes of disease, to interrupt their free movements, or bring about their destruction. Avoid Worm Troubles There are numerous recipes and suggestions given for the treatment for worms In poultry, turkeys In cluded, but the first thing to no tice Is that worm troubles are large ly due to dirty premises. There Is not much use In attempting to stop losses In a flock through worms unless care is taken to clean up the premises regularly, disinfect them and clean out the droppings from the roosting place to a portion of the farm that Is not frequented by the flock.
