CAMP MEADE, Admiral, Md.. Nov. 10.
Within ono month after the rennsyl
anlans In tho Seventy-ninth Division land
fa Franco they will be In tho trenches.
This statement, which may surprlso tho
relatives and friends of Little l'enn soldiers.
U not based upon conjecture, but comes
direct from a ranking otllcer at this camp.
Coupled with this statement tho olllcer as.
erted that tho American war chiefs were
making plans to drive tho Huns out of the
tnud-fllled trenches and end tho war 'by tho
ld-fashloned methods of open lighting.
To accomplish this It has been necessary
to make radical chnnges In tho training
program of tho National Army and these
fhanses will become effective within n few
That these changes will rnal.'o the war
Chiefs to develop the greatest ARWInj. ma
chine In the lilstory of the worl, to
ured. and no time Is to be lost In an effort
to execute the plans.
When America entered the war there
ere two courses which war chiefs mmed
out for the American army, Ono nol'd
the continuation of trench warfare, with
11 tho horrors of gas and liquid Are at
tacks: the second Involved what arm olll
cers styled as the old-fashioned methods of
cpen-tleld attacks. ti
The latter plan has been adopted, nnd It
successful will end tho sUnd-ofr-and-take
fighting In the trenches, lirlcfly. It will
force the Clermans to llRht in the open, nnd
ence the fighting Is conducted in that fash
ion tho American olllccrs are convinced that
tlicv can drive the Huns from trench soil.
The Importance of open-field fighting has
been emphasized In recent movements on
the western front, for several times, the
British, owing to their lack of training
In this style of fighting, havo not been abl
to follow up thylr victorious assaults on
the Hun trenches.
Drawing n lesson from tho experience of
the British, the American war chiefs will
fcave tho national army prepared to take
advantage of trench victories and follow
up the successes to Mich an extent that the
Germans will lie uname to return iu mo
eystem of underground fighting.
' Major Oenernl Joseph U Kuhn. comman
der of the camp, christened the rlrio range.
General Kuhn tired tho first shot and scored
n, clean hit at 400 yards.
The commander of Pennsylvania's citizen
roldlers used i modern Enfield rifle, nnd as
the bullet smashed the black circle on tho
target his chief of stnrf. Lieutenant Colonel
Tenny ltoss, slapped him on tho shoulder
and said:
"If wo do that kind of shooting In France
tre will make things hum for the Kaiser."
On Monday a few selected men from
each regiment will lie given rifle practice,
but It will be two or three weeks beforo
11 of tho men cin take a shot at the tar
nets. Announcement was made today at
division headquarters that practice with gas
masks will follow as soon as the gas stntlon
is completed A few masks hae arrived,
nut cannot bo used by the selected men
until the ollcers learn how to use them.
French ofllcers wl'.l direct the training In
this branch of the service.
