Young Officers Impress in France Training Camp Report
The Associated Press notes American officers in France show high morale and strong leadership from training camps such as Plattsburg. Colonels praise the cohort, suggesting many should be sent to France early for trench experience and instructor training before regiments form. The Expeditionary Force trains vigorously from dawn, with field kitchens and heavy practice, while French instructors rate American marksmen highly. A Greek ship Chalkydon was torpedoed and sunk, with further notes on a German submarine incident near Calais. The article also recalls the first passenger railway in 1825.
