Pershng Supreme in
Command of Americans

Washington, June 2S.-The ques-
ton asked in the House of Commons
and which the British government
refrained from answering, whether
the American soldiers now on the
western front are under the supreme
command of the French generalissi-
mo or General Haig or the American
general has already been answered
by the War Department officials, al
though no official and formal an
nouncement of the instructions to
General Pershing has been made.
General Pershing will be supreme
in command of, and will have his in
dependent source of supplies for the
American expeditionary forces in
France, and will not operate under
any orders, except such as he may
receive from the War Department in
Washington. He will collaborate and
consult with the French generalissi-
mo. however, although such confer
ences will not in any sense affect the
Independent character of his COM
mand.
1t is understood that the War De-
partment is postponing the publica-
tion of General Pershings instruc-
tions until after he actually takes a
position on the western front.

Marines Slipped Out
of Philadelphia With
No One in the Secret

New York, June $50 quietly
did regiment of marines included
in that part of the Pershing expedi-
tion which already has landed in
France slip away from the Philadel-
phia navy yard that a sailor base
ball team at practice on the parade
ground did not know 200 men un-
der command of Colonel A. Doyen,
were on their way to the battle front.
No drums or bugles sounded and
the only ceremony which attended
the leave taking was brief speech
to the officers by Major General
George Barnett, commandant of the
corps. The story of their quiet
march from barracks was released
here last night.
At 2.30 o'clock the afternoon OF
the departure the baseball players
had the parade ground all to them
selves, and no one was in sight on
the street in front of the home OF
the post commander. A few Sec
onds later the head of a column of
soldiers of the sea in khaki and in
heavy marching order swung into
the brick-paved street in front of
the commanders house. Major Gen
eral Barnett and a little group OF
other officers from headquarters
took up posts on the turf of the
parkway DeSlue the CurD.
Trust in Men
The company officers of the bat
talon stepped out in front of Major
General Barnett and saluted. Fol-
half minute the corps commandant
addressed them. He spoke in an
every day conversational tone, which
could not be heard a dozen yards
away, and the message was simply
that he trusted that the marines who
were setting out that day to fight
under General Pershing would
staunchly uphold the high tradi-
tions of the corps.
The officers saluted and marched
back to their places. The battalion
stood at rigid attention for a mo-
ment. Then, with snap, rifles jump
ed to shoulders, squads swung into
column formation, ana the line pass
ed swiftly on down the street to the
gate of the navy yard.
Brisk and Businesslike
No cheering crowd greeted the
men as they emerged at the gate
way; only a handful of civilians saw
them board a train of day coaches
for an Atlantic port. The run
Drowned fighting men, all veterans of
campaigning in Haiti and Santo Do
mingo, waved their campaign hats
from the windows as yne train pull
ed out, but neither they nor their
friends INDUCED in any cheering.
The departure of this first battal-
ion had not stirred the least ripple
of excitement in the navy vary. Half
an hour or so later another battalion
marched briskly down the same
brick street and formed in the pa
rade grounds. The bluejacket nine
was still at its baseball practice. A
third battalion formed and stacked
arms in front of the barracks.
Presently. without so much as a
bugle note for warning, the two bat

rAies. they typlned America or to-
day.
Many Ways to Victory
Conversation generally turned
around pet ways of eliminating
"BCches." The regimental mascots,
bull terrier, goat-which was to
be defended at all costa pet mon
key, several lizards and a parrot
which prided itself on billingsgate,
all formed part of the outfit.
During the brief stay in the con-
centration camps. before they went
aboard the transports, the men
amused themselves by writing cards,
to be sent home the moment their
safe arrival should be announced. 1t
was hot in the camp, but the men all
rejoiced that 1t was much cooler
than the Mexican border. One strap
ping sergeant said that. as soon as
he saw mud he was going to roll in
it-anythins but the dust of Mexico.
Long Troop Trains
Long troop trains set down their
human burden within the narrow
confines of the tented city-appro-
priately called Camp Cinder-while
barSeS laden to capacity ferried the
never ending stream out to the wait
ing liners.
All the transports had been heav-
lily armed. Five inch guns were
placed astern, while several more
cleaned from behind canvas screens
along the decks.
On the morning of June IA the last
train had arrived and at the last
rambunctious army "Maude" had
been cajoled aboard. Throughout
the day the barges continued their
trips carrying great quantities of
supplies-beef and the celebrated
beans-not to forget mountainous
sacks of "Cawfee."
All Lights Extinguished
At six bells-7 p. m.-the last
trip had been made, and as the dark
ness gathered, black clouds of smoke
issued from every stack. Three quar-
ters of an hour later the groaning
rumble of the anchor bits, accom-
panied by the siren of a complaining
donkey engine, announced that the
mud hooks" were coming up. AS
eight bells sounded, the steamer
leading the line signalled the depart
ure of the fleet by a short sharp
blast of her whistle.
Slowly and ponderously ship by
ship maneuvered into line. All lights
were extinguished-even the red and
green sailing lights. The phantom
fieet-dim shadows alone-passed
the monitor guarding the harbor
mouth. AS the last vessel disappear
ed in the night mists to meet her
convoy, a few unquenchable spirits
gathered on the after taffrail and
sang Sweet Adeline."
