French Appreciate Yankees =
The longer the American military
leaders are here the more they ap.
preciate the importance which the
French attach to Americas decision
to send troops. The soldiers are de-
sirable not merely for themselves, but
because American participation In the
war in a military way has had won
derfully inspiring effect on all the
other allied troops.
A little example was cited by a gen.
eral staff officer who participated yes
tsrday evening in the bi-weekly recep-
ton given by American women to
French soldiers returning on furlough.
The men formerly sang great
deal, always the Marseillaise by pref
erence. but latterly this has stopped.
The appearance Of Americans In uni
form. however, had an instant effect
and the soldiers were reused to all
their old tine enthusiasm.
Another task which the Americans
are facing is the elimination here and
at home of as much red tape as pos
sible. Every day makes them feel
more and more the necessity OF as
free a hand as possible las they are
actually on the ground and cognizant
of the needs Of the situation.

GREATER THAN It
WAS PRIOR TO war

PARIS June 20. The resolution
adopted by the chamber of deputies
calling for the work Of increasing
the French merchant marine, to be
placed under the control of one de-
partment was accepted by the govern
Ment and voted by show of hands.
The resolution was signed by forty
four members OF the merchant marine
committee and invited the govern
ment to centralize the work of build
ing. buying and chartering merchant
ships, task which hitherto has been
divided among several ministers
Louis Nail, under secretary for the
mercantile marine, answering criti-
cisms said that the French merchant
feet was 100000 tons at the begin
ming of the war, and since then had
lost 100000 tons, 100000 by acts of
war. During the same period $4,000
tons had been built or bought and an
other $4,000 was on the stocks SO
that fleet was actually greater now
than before the war.
Secretary Nail then pointed out that
Germany had lost 100000 tons, SO
per cent. of its entire fleet and de-
clared that reports that Germany was
building hundreds of ships were mere

CHINESE CARE LITTLE
whether THEY ARE RULED
BY KING OR PRESIDENT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-The
great mass Of Chinese people seem
Indifferent as to whether they are
ruled by king or duly elected
president Of the Republic, in the opin.
ion of Prof w. W. Willoughby, of
Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore,
who is in San Francisco today on the
way from Picking, where he has been
for the last year assisting the Chinese
in preparation of their new constitu-
ton. in an advisory capacity.
Their ignorance of political matters
is the reason for this apathy. he said.
The republic has been very slow in
drafting the proposed constitution,
owing to the fact that work Is done
on alternate days, according to Prof
Willoughby. DR.. F. j. Goodnow, presi-
dent Of John-Hopkins, is still In Picking
assisting In this work.
