AMEIUCAN KIELD HRADQUAIlTEnS.
Aug. C.
In an nil-day trip nbout the trnlnlnR
fields todav with General !hert, his aids
attel a number ot French omcera, I had an
intimate view of the American aohller at
work, and believe me, if he I going to
be half as good at the Job of llocho killing
ft he Is In eagerness and aptness to learn
how, he'll be some soldier In the first
Place, he Is a totally dlrfcrent proposition
than the man that landed at a certain port
In France under my eyes last June.
At that time It was easy to pick out the
regular from the recruit. Today It was
almost Impossible. Grizzled old sergeants
that had seen years of service were hardly
diitingutahable from the yoiinffater who did
not know the butt end of a ride from the
muzzle a few months ago. Every man
was ns brown as the proverbial berry, and
trf they went through the maneuvers, with
out blousea and with flannel shirts open
at the throat, they looked the real goods
rrlth a. capital G If this outfit is a sample
of the sort of fighting material that can
bo manufactured from 90 per cent raw re
rm'ta In less than two months' field work,
tho conscript army of the United states'
will be something for that United States
to he proud of.
PUPILS AND TUTOrtS
At 7 in the morning we were on the field
nhere a regiment of Infantry marched up
in battalions from their three encampments
As they appeared over the crest ot a hill,
tiny specko of brown over a mile away,
they gave little Impression of else than a
mass of men marching In platoons of fours.
From another direction came a mass ot
tyue, a regiment of chasseurs who are act
ing as Instructors, a regiment forming part
of a division that Is one of the crack or
Canlzatlons In the French army, every man
tried and truo under fire.
Upon three sides of a vast field the bat
talions took formation, dividing Into com
panies, one French and the other American.
Each company was then divided into squads
ot fifty men, and with officers in front of
them and Interpreters before each front
rank, stood at attention
A chasseur stepping out from the ranks
threw his body forward until his hands
touched the ground Then with but his
toei and hands upon the grass, he raised
nd lowered his body back and forth as
the length ot his arms permitted, going
through the exercise a dozen times. If
you think It Is easy, try it. Try It any
how, because It Iff ens and hardens the
muscles of the s'oirtich, abdomen, legs, and
arms. In a word, it's tho first step toward
hardening a man for quick movement and
tho power to mount a hill w Ithout puffing.
After the object lesson, the entire French
cquad went through the exercise, acting as
one man under command of their ofllccr.
After th.sy had so done, the Interpreter put
the command Into English, the American
officer rang out, and the fifty Sammies
went through the same stunt. They hod
to be Instructed to keep the body rigid
at the outet, but in three minutes had
absorbed the Idea. In half an hour they
were within 75 per cent ns perfect as the
Frenchmen,
BO?IB9 AND GRENADE'-WOrtK
Upon another portljn of the field a squad
tit open; order was being put through the
motions utilized In bomb and grenade throw
ing. They had had this sort of instruction
before, because they went at it as at some
thing already known, Each man stood with
arms at side and at command reached to
the ground for an Imaginary grenade. At
the second command he raised It above his
head and to the rear In the attitude ot
throwing, and at the third command
launched it forward at an imaginary lioche.
They did this with a real vim. And It was
easy to pick the ball players among them.
Elsewhere a mitrailleuse squad was In
action. I had often seen this work at the
front In actual advance, but here was the
first time It had come to my notice without
discharging the gun. So far as I could
Judge, the only evident difference was that
these men before me did not actually
crlckedy-crack the trigger, and that their
clothes were American khakt. They gavo
.evidence ot Intense Interest, the man
running ahead to a specified spot, kneeling
and raising one hand, three running Im
mediately behind with the tripod, three
more with the gun which was swung Into
place In a Jiffy, with the marksman seated
upon the ground, his legs astraddle the
tripod and his hand on the trigger.
At the noon hour, the difference between
the American, lunch and the French de
jeuner was apparent. Each Sammee was
eerved hot coffee In great mugs and two
big slices of bread, a couple of fried eggs
and sliced bacon In the form of a big sand
wich. He squatted on the ground and ate
It. But the chasseur was served a full de
jeuner of hot meat with vegetables and tho
inevitable "plnard." which Is army slang
for red wine. The Sammee was through
in fifteen minutes. But the chassuer-pollu
tookfhls time and leisurely drank his coffee
over his cigarette afterward.
TRENCH DIGGING
During the early afternoon I spent two
hours watching Sammees digging trenches
under chasseur Instruction, arduous work
that all hands performed with earnestness.
Others; were making rough Intersticed
trench flooring and laying It In place.
Others still were cutting lines of communi
cation, for. the practice trenches are upon
identical lines with the business ones at
the front, being built In first, second and
third lines, with communicators. In the
later afternoon I witnessed grenade throw
ing. In which the khakl-clad have made
' wonderful progress In the relatively short
time they have been on this Job, while In
another portion of the field trench scaling
and attack were practiced, together with
the guidance ot mule ammunition trains
to a front line.
All in all. I received fi- vivid Impression
that these boys from home were no longer
KOldlers of modern warfare In embryo, but
very close to the real thing, and that when
they get up against the lioche, the Boche
twill cure know it, making comparison. It
euen s n ma power, with conclusion that
ths Sammee from over the eea Is far from
the easiest proposition he has been fighting
for three long years.

BERNSTORPFS HAND SHOWN
IN PLOT IN CONGRESS
Continued from Pate One
fure he sent his message Bernstorff "knew
through a secret channel" that his Govern
ment planned unrestricted submarining and
clearly foresaw the break with the United
States. Therefore, Germany was trying to
render America Impotent by keeping her
busy with Mexican troubles and Influencing
pacifist Congressmen to prevent war
This revelation on the heels of the Swed-Ish-German-Argentlna
Mexican Philippine
exposure and coupled with the Zlmmer
mann Mexican-Japanese plot noto clinches
this Government's contention that Germany
carried on active plottlngs and propaganda
all oer tho world
FI11ST POSITIVE PROOF
This startling message, however, was the
first positive evidence made public that
UernstorfC had personal guilty knowledgo
of the German Intrigue In this nation,
It had long been suspected that he was
tho directing head of antl'Amerlcan work
and this Government had proved that his
colleague, the Austrian Ambassador, was
conducting a vicious plot while the two
countries were stilt at peace.
Bernstorft's advice concerning Ireland
was apparently heeded, for In one of her
peice pronunclamcntos Germany made mech
of the fact that she was for homo rule In
Ireland and In India.
The Bcrnstorft note shows clearly that
the enoy had been intriguing for some
time, because It pointed out that the money
would bo paid out "as on former occa
sions." The date of the communication was at
the time when Germany and the United
States were directly on tho verge of break
ing relations, and less than ten days later
the Teutons put into effect their decree to
sink ships without warning
It Is significant also that during this
particular period Bernstorff was telling th
press tnat ne would no all in his power to
prevent war between Oermanv and the
United States. And he continued to say,
even after the break, that he would use his
Influence upon reaching Berlin to avoid
HCtu.-.l hostilities He was known to be
sending messages to his home government
at that time, endeavoilng to straighten
out the tangled relations of tho two coun
ti lea.
Bernstorff. while professing to feel kindly
toward America, wished to avoid war sim
ply for the reason that American strength
would turn the balance against Germany,
authorities say
The link between Germany and the Irish
Americans has been known rather clearly
to this Government for some time, and the
Sir ltoger Casement affair showed rather
conclusively that Germany was seeking
Irish-American sympathies or trying to
create trouble for England through home
rule for Ireland.
DETAILS WITHHELD
The Stato Department did not announce
the name of the organization which was to
handle the $60,000, although probably In
vestigation has glen the Government a line
on Its Identity.
Just how the mesage came Into the Amor,
lean Government's possession Is kept a
secret, as in the case with all documents
proving Germany's guilt
It Is officially admitted that for more
than a year before breaking of relations,
the Department of Justlco had enoueh evi
dence of Bernstorff's Improper activities
in this country to warrant the State De
partment In hnndlng him his passports nnd
brusquely demanding his precipitate depart
ure. Bernstorff knew of and assisted In plot
ting the proposed Imaslon of Canada, the
attempt to blow up tho Wolland cnnal,
tho du Pont dynamite plots, other munitions
plan Intrigues, the fomenting of strikes, the
spying of Wolf and Igel and n scoro of
other offenses, some of which have never
been publicly mentioned by tho Govern
ment. '
The American Government held off an
exposure of Bernstorff until actual war
time, because of the recurring hopo that
conditions would Improve.
The systematic revelation of Teuton In
trigue on this continent and elsewhere Is
deemed likely to have the, effect of not only
stirring up tho United States to Its danger,
but also further convincing tho German poo
pie that their Government is a sinister
menace.

MANY CONGRESSMEN DEMAND
SEARCHING INVESTIGATION
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.
Determination to unearth the "organiza
tion" through which former Ambassador
von Bernstorff worked In his efforts to pre
vent war developed In Congress today.
House and Senate leaders, astonished at
the announcement of Secretary Lansing,
immediately demanded searching Inquiry.
That an organization powerful and richly
supplied was at Bernstorff's command, Is
certain In light of Secretary Lansing's ex
pose, It was agreed "on the hill." But it
operated without the legislators' knowledge
of its financial backing, they declared.
' von Bernstorff had a big organization
and an expensive one working on Congress,"
said Representative Adamson (Go.) "There
were not only telegram - sending agencies,
but In Washington hotels I myself heard
many bejeweled and bedizened women talk
ing peace I thought at the time they were
German spies and later my suspicions were
confirmed. The matter should be carefully
'nvstlgated "
There were those whose' comments
smacked ot Are.
"I have heard," said Representative
Helllrt (Ala.), "that there Is a card gambling
room In Washington, conducted by Ger
mans, where members of Congress In favor
of peace at any price are extremely lucky
when they play card."
Representative Howard (Ga.) stated:
'This money was not all used for tele
grams. Some was used directly and 1
think I can pick out the men who got It.
They look a whole lot more prosperous
than they ever did before '
Representative McLemore (Texas), au
thor of several anti-war resolutions, said:
"I never saw the signs of any such or
ganization at work on the House. Pos
sibly, one of tho organizations which bom
barded us periodically with telegrams both
for and against war Is meant. Aside from
the receipt of telegrams, I know of noth
ing that could possibly be termed propa
ganda. No man representing any organi
zation ever spoke to me."
Senator Norrls (Neb.), termed one of
the "willful twelve." said he had "heard
repeatedly that both Germany and Eng

Long before the Houso met at noon there
was talk of Investigations and a "call up lo

the kind of peace the United States could
Join in jruaiantoclng It was the famous
address asking all nations to "adopt tho

prophetically denounced the "net of in
trigue and selfish rivalry" which drew na

Only six days previous Doctor Zlmmer

land used large sums of money In this
country. Personally I know nothing of It.
No organization I know of got any Ger
man money or any other kind. Assuredly
no German money was used to Influence
tho members of Congress who were against
war."
Vardaman (Mississippi), another of the
so-called "willful," said ho "never talked
with anybody In the Senate or out of it
about a vote against war. I never permit
any man to lobby with me, nor to discuss
public questions with me. Hence, I know
absolutely nothing about the use of Ger
man money in Congress or elsewhere, and 1
can make no comment on tho State De
partment's statement."
Senator Stone (Missouri): "That is nn
Insult to this Government. It Is absolutely
intolerable. Any representative of a for
eign Government who makes such an at
tempt to Interfere with the affairs of this
Government well deserves to bo given his I
passports." '
"I never heard of such a thing," said
Senator Klrby (Arkansas). "Nobody ever
approached me, you bet, who had been paid
by Germany."
"I don't bellevo there was any such or
ganization," Kenyon (Iowa) said. "Mem
bers of Congress aro very helpless In cases
like this. Any scoundrel can use the names
of Congressmen In ways that might even
conceivably ruin them. But as for use
of German money to Influence Congress, I
don't believe It"

It out with glory to themselves and tho cm

Bosscher wood nnd Dumbarton lakes were
scenes of particularly fierce fighting. Tho
enemy was keenly allc to tho Importance
of holding the heights which formed the
center nf tho attack and they struggled
desperately against tho British wave. Un
like previous offenslvo blows struck re
cently, tho British used very few tanks.
Tho ground was not favorable for their
utilization. Also they wero not needed, as
tho depth of tho British artillery fire was
greater than has hitherto been seen any
whero In tho war.
The ground oe which tho advance was
made was muddy. Heavy showers during
tho night made tho going cen heavier
Throughout tho morning tho clouds hung
only ooo feet above tho ground and a high
wind whipped stinging mist in tho faces

"AKRIAIj CAVALRY" IN ACTION
According to pre-arranged plan, great
numbers of British nlrmen participated In
tho attack. They earned the right to lie
cnlled "aerial cavalry" hercaftr.
At BOO feet altitude and less during the
thickest of tho Infantry fighting, they
swooped above the German lines watch

them, ducked down sometimes so low that
their wheels seemed almost to touch tho
helmets of tho Teutons, their machine guns
spattering death.

Langcmarck, mentioned for the first tlmo
