SALUTE TO IEAD
WHILE A BATTLE
KEEPS ON RAGING
I'RENOH FRONT. Nov. 2. — (Coorrespondence of
The Associated Press)—“Attention! The division will sa
lute the memory of its comrades who have fallen while
lighting for their country!"
The voice of General Michel, one of the young French
commanders, who by sheer merit has made his way to the
front rank (Turing the war. rang out clearly over a stub
ble lield not far from the lighting lines. The troops of his
division, drawn up in deep formation facing towards the
point whence the sound of the German guns could be heard
plainly, presented arms and the drums tapped out a gen
eral salute, while the colors of the various regiments were
lowered out of respect for those who had died. The long
rows of bayonets remained perfectly still for several min
utes while the roll of the drums continued and, even after
this had ceased and absolute silence reigned, the men stood
motionless for a further period, their thoughts with their
former conmides.
'I his ceremonial honoring ot those who have made the
ereat sacrifice is always carried out after a division has
left the front line trenches, for during the fighting it is
often impossible to perform any religious sendee over
those who fall and are buried where they die. Respect
for the dead is deeply ingrained in the French character
and the soldiers appreciate greatly such an opportunity
to honor those who have died a warrior’s death.
The division concerned to day had seen much fighting
all along the front. It had served in Alsace, at Verdun, on
the Somme and on the Aisne, where attacks from one side
or the other have been of daily occurrence for nearly four
months. One of its units was a battalion of the famous
chasseurs who are to be found wherever fighting is heavy,
and before the memorial service another ceremony had
taken place, for it was this battalion’s turn to be entrusted
with the charge of the regimental flag of the chasseurs
for a period of three months. Each battalion in rotation
is accorded this honor and even* man in the battalion
guarding the color seems to feel a personal pride in the
emblem beneath which lie marches. The flag bears at the
head of its staff the three highest military decorations—
the Legion of Honor, the military medal and the war
cross—bestowed as a reward for the constant and conspic

nous bravery of the soldiers who have fought under it.
These chosen troops, the chasseurs, had made history
long before this war. The first Napoleon had a battalion
of chasseurs in the Guards Corps of the Grand Army.
Afterwards they disappeared from the army list for a
time, but were reconstituted by the Duke of Orleans under
Louis Philippe.
Solferino, during the Italian war of Liberation, and
Sebastopol, in the Crimean war, added to the fame of the,
chasseurs, and during the war of 1870 against the Prus
sians they distinguished themselves on many occasions.
JAPAN PLANNING
CONSTRUCTION ON
ADDITIONAL NAVY
TOKIO, Nov. 2.—(Correspondence of The Associated
Press).—The construction of six new destroyers for the
purpose of naval repletion at a cost of $6,000,000 is to be
started shortly and the work will be expedited to complete
them within the present fiscal year ending April next. The
destroyers will all be of middle size and be named the
Nara, Kuwa, Tsubaki, Maki, Keyaki, and Enoki respect
ively.
1 he building of the following battleships, cruisers and
destroyers is to begin soon at the navy dockyards and at.
shipbuilding yards at Nagasaki.
Battleship Mutsu, (Nagato type) with a displacement
of 32,000 tons; Cruiser Tama, with a displacement of 7,
800 tons; Cruiser Kunia, with a displacement of 3,500 tons,
and first-class destroyers Kawakaze, Minekaze and Sawa
kaze, each of about 1,200 tons.
The battleship Mutsu will carry the largest and most
powerful main gun ever mounted on any battleship of the
Japanese navy, and the cruiser Tama will be the largest
warship of the kind in the Japanese navy. The first-class
destroyer Kawakaze, which will be one of the largest de-l
stroyers in the Japanese navy, is the substitute for the
destroyer of the same name which was built in France
after the outbreak of the European war and was sold later
to an Entente power.
Besides these warships a big special ship with a dis
placement of 12,000 tons and five submarines, each dis
placing 700 tons, will be built at the Ivure navy dockyard.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—The next i

ment. Applications must be in be
tween now and December 1 and no
application received after the last
named date will be considered.
The camps will be made up of men

tional Guard, from the new draft

CONSIDERS THE U. S.
ARMY AS NEGLIGIBLE
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 2. — That1
America is too weak a force to be,
given serious consideration in the war,
is the opinion of the German general
staff member, Major Hoffe, expressed j
in an article in the Weser Zeitung.
The officer says that America may i
safely be ignored by Germany.
The only help the American can
give would be in the way of aviation,
in Hoffe’s opinion, and he states that
the Germans have foreseen and pro
vided against that possibility. The
idea of American troops coming across
to the front is preposterous and the
total number which America could
send would not exceed four or live
hundred thousand men, if Hoffe’s
judgment is accepted.
The writer estimates that the re
public’s fighting value will be about
as low as that of Rumania is at pres
ent.
Men from colleges must be between
21 and 31 but men from the army may
be between 21 and 40. Army men ap
ply to their commanding officci, while
college men must communicate with
the instructor in military tactics of
the school where they had their mili
tary training. The application blank
which the applicant will have to fill
out calls for a physical examination by
a competent physician aad this must
be paid for by the applicant.
All successful at the end of the
training course will be carried as
eligible for second lieutenancies ami
will be appointed as fast as vacancies
occur. While in camp, enlisted men
of the army will receive their regular
pay, while college graduates will get
first class private’s pay, $30 per*
month, plus food, clothing and quar
ters. These training camps will turn'
out line officers.
