International Mercantile Marine and
was running as a freighter in the Amcri-
can Line service. The liner that brought
the confirmatory news sailed with the
Haverford and received shortly after
ward wireless messages that convinced
her skipper that the Haverford had been
attacked by a submarine. He said his
own ship came through the war zone un-
molested. with ninety-six passengers.

Animated by Great Spirit.
The following despatch was written
yesterday:
81 have had an opportunity in\the last
few days OF seeing the new American
army at close quarters and appreciatlng
the spirit that animates II. II cannot
be too clearly stated that this force is
but the advance guard OF the million men
that America is preparing to send to
Europe In. the course OF the next year
Hardly one OF these young volunteers Is
over "a years Of age. Keenness Is
written on the face of each one of them.
Officers and men show in conversa-
ton not only that they are here for
business. but that they fully appreciate
the gravity of the business. 1t is well
that their allies should appreciate lie
spirit In which the new armies that will
cross the Atlantic are being trained.
America has herself invented such eX-
pressions as hot air. big talk and
hitting 1t up but the American army
Is not being encouraged TO indulge In
any OF these peace time luxuries
Ready for a Long, Hard War.
THE British proudly sing that There s
none can compare with the British
grenadiers,' and the American marines
with equally justifsble pride sing that
IL the army and the navy ever gaze into
heavens scenes they will find the streets
are guarded by United States marines.
America has the proper national con-
fdence In the fighting qualities of its
! men, but the army does not imaAne
that II is going to win the war next
week any more than the American navy
imagines that American inventiveness
Is going to find an antidote i'm five min
utes for the submarine menace that the
! Allies have sought for three years.
The Americans are rightly confident
as an officer expressed it. that they will
show they are not four flushefs.' They
eagerly insist that their greatest desire
is to prove that they have come to
France not to play but to work at war
They want no more fuss made over them
| until they have by service in the field
/ earned the right to public attention.
Training Now for Firing Line.

pleased they were to see them and
what a lot of solid service they eX-
pected to get out of them. 1t told of
the qualification of men who had re-
ceived such gifts from relatives when
they realized that there were thou
sands of patriotic women and girls
doing their best to see that no soldier
should be without that almost indis-
pensable article in this climate.
And these are the sweaters that, ac-
cording to the little German lies, are
going to pawnshops, are being sold
to soldiers at high prices, are being
appropriated by officers, are being di-
verted to any use save that for which
they are Observation-Disclosures Herald.
