The Americans swung down the
street apparently as proud as though

they had marched miles from the bill

by motor truck and railway from the

Finally from the rear came the whis-

and from many places in the ranks
whistles and voices joined in. The
tune was "Tipperary." 1t lasted brief

No "strafe" developed although the
Germans put over few customary
shells, hitting nothing.
The troops entered the trenches
safely, unit by unit passing quickly to
the places assigned them. Quietness
was essential but the French welcome
none the less was heard and it was
enthusiastic Every American was

of the French troops were those who

clouds, they got their first view Of the

Strongly With Allies.
Mexico City, Oct 29.-Great excite
ment has been created through the
publication in Ell Universal of a
statement by Gen. Pablo Gonzales,
former commander of the Carranza
forces in Mexico City and we'll
known Constitutionalist, favoring
Mexico following the example of other
Latin-American countries and sever
ing diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
In his statement General Gonzales
said in part:
"As a Mexican and citizen of a
country which necessarily will feel
the consequences Of the European
conflict, consider 1t most essential
that Mexico should direct a franl
and decided course in favor of the
Allies.
Undoubtedly the attitude which
the Mexican government will adopt in
any case will be a simple declara-
ton Of principles, and in no case
would this mean that Mexico would
send a contingent to Europe"

Look For Greatest Blow Of Year From
Enemy.
Petrograd, Oct. 29.-The years
greatest German blow against Russia
is still looked for. Leading Russian
military critics are now interested in
taking the view repeatedly advanced
in these dispatches since the German
naval drive in the Baltic, namely, that
the recent Teuton retirement on a
wide front north of the Dwina had two
purposes.
Ito shorten the German front
temporarily.
2-To lure the Russians on and then
trap them.
Speculation AS to Reinforcements.
No one in well-informed circles nere
believes for a moment that the Teu-
tons have actually thinned their north
ern front in the East and sent large
forces thence to the Italian front. The
German reserves on the latter battle
field are from elsewhere, notably from
the Galician and Roumanian fronts.

LIMITS USE OF CARS
u. S. Orders Open Cars for Ger
tain Purposes Only.
Building Materials and Non-EssentiaIs
Barred To Give Space To
Necessities.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Steps~ TO re-
strict enterprises not essential to the
conduct of the war have been taken by
the government in forbidding use of
open-top freight cars on and after No
vember 1 for transportation of mater
ial for roads and highways, theatre
construction and manufacture Of
pleasure vehicles, furniture and must
cal instruments.
Coal Is Exempted.
The restriction of non-essentials has
been imposed through an order, by
Robert S. Lovett, priority director of
the War Industries Board, prohibiting
use of Open-top cars, excepting fiat
cars, for carrying any Of the specified
materials for private orders.
Coal and government shipments are
exempted, as well as shipments in
closed boxcars.
The order is expected to provide
early relief for the car shortage which
has affected coal, coke, ore, lime
stone, sugar beets, sugar cane, sOr-
ghum cane and raw materials for use
In the metal, sugar and fertilizer in
dustries and other commodities neces-
sary to the national defense and Sc
curity."
May Delay Construction.
Transportation of these materials
has been hampered by insistence of
manufacturers on cars for non-essel-
tials, he said.
The most drastic effect of the order
probably will be to stop many public
road and street building enterprises,
for which crushed stone, cement, and
asphalt materials have been transport
ed largely in open cars.

NEEDS TWO YEARS TRAINING
Writer Says U. S. Troops Can Be
In Field Sooner.


st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 29.--Hamilton
Fyfe, war correspondent for the
Northcliffe newspapers, member of
Lord Northc1iffe's party, speaking
here, declared that from what he had
seen at the front the American, army
would do well if it were ready to take
the field after two years training.
SCI have been called pessimist for
expressing this opinion he said,
"but l believe it is much better to try
to see things as they are than to in
dulge in false hopes The German
nation prepared for SO years to win
this war and they have not won it
yet. How can anyone expect that an
army can prepare in a year or 15
months and expect to win it?"
