THOUSANDS OF RUDDY REGULARS in CAMP
READY TO TAKE PLACES IN THE TRENCHES:
GERMAN PRISONERS WATCH EN- DISEMBARK

WASHINGTON, June %. = Some
where in France thousands of Ameri-
cas- fighting men are today encamped
ready to take their places in the
trenches beside the seasoned cam
paigners OF the allies.
Regulars and marines fresh from
service on the Mexican border or in
Haiti or Santo Domingo were landed
yesterday after voyage in which tho
German submarines were eluded and
all records we're broken for transport
News of the arrival of the troops sent
a thrill through America as it was
generally unknown that any large de-
tachment had yet left these shores.
Net Gain to Allies.
The forces will be a net gain to the
allies, as the men will be fed, clothed,
armed and equipped by this govern
ment. Already there are being stored
at the encampment supplies sufficient
for many months.
The American forces will be an in.
dependent unit, cooperating with
the allies. 1t has been suggested that
the Americans might placed as a con-
Meeting link between the French and
British armies, but the exigencies of
the coming campaigns will decide that
question.
A FRENCH SEAPORT. June 2s.-
Pershing's boys are here!
Thousands of them came within the
last 4S hours out of the misty vastness
OF the sea, a U-boat-infested sea that
held no terrors for them; not tor
redo scratch on a transport; not
single man lost.
Spick and span, with weather-grown-
Ell faces, their eyes sparkling fight,
every one of them every inch Q man,
they txamped down the gangways TO
the strains of the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner," into pandemonium OF unending
cheers. 49,
Eager to Get to Front.
Today they are In camp, eager to
get to the front The camp is not far
from here. 1t is in charge OF General
William L. Sibert, who came in COM
mand Of the troops. General Pershing
is coming over from Paris today to
greet them.
AS these thousands of American
fighting lads poured off the transports
scores Of German prisoners stood on
the pier. Teeth set, they looked half
sideways at these strapping newcon-
ers. Those who watched the prisoners
could discern admiration in their
looks

stoYmed and captured the German
front line before Avion, a suburb Of
Lens.
The Canadians. heartened by sue.

ut relatively small cost, decided this
morning to attack across the open
ground sloping' upwards to Avion and
tie village Of Leauvette near the
Souchez river.
Advance Delayed.
They met with opposition of seri
Gus character at only one point, where
combination of a machine gun fire
and uncut wires delayed the advance.
The attack was not intended to be
pressed home at this spot, as the
ground specially favored the Ger.
mans, SO the delay did not harm.
BY this mornings advance the Brit
ish line has been carried forward to
within one mile of the center Of Lens.
The attack was made along q two
mile front. On the extreme left Noyia
Scotians pushed their way up the
1ens-Arras road to the y village ,of
Leauvette. Here they took . number

Others are believed to be still alive
in the dugouts. which will be thor

At daybreak Canadian airplanes

Your boy, if he is the right kind
of q boy, has work to do through q
long life. A man is immortal until
his work is done. There are excep-
tions to this rule. as to all others,
hut this is still the rule"
The above lines quoted from q
popular journal contain a beautiful
thought for the soldier boys and the
dear ones left behind.
When the first army of American
soldiers landed in France without
loss or mishap, it was signal proof
that an overruling Providence had
guided those transports safely, and
like the rainbow, held the promise
that the great Jehovah would pro-
tect and guide to victory those cour-
ageous souls who have gone forth to
battle for the right in the greatest
cause the world has ever known.
And they will return to their homo
|land full Of honor for having won
the victory. So let al be- bsays tp
do and dare for tho canse Of liberty.

Uncle Sam Is Throwing Millions
of New Dollars Into the South,

1t wasn't sectional favoritism. Ii
was merely recognition Of the South s
salubrity and general and the knowl.
edge that it is easier to feed soldiers
where their food is produced.
These are reasons why the United
States government located seven

men each) in Dixieland-at Column
bia, S. c., Atlanta. Ga, Little Rock
Ark, Annapolis Junctian, Md, Pet
ersburg, Va, Louisville, KY, San
Antonio, Tex.
For the same reasons the war
department is sending thousands OF
National Guard troops to mobliza-
tion camps in the South. All of the
soldier boys of Main, New Ham
pshire, Massachusetts. Vermont,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
several other states are to be quar-
tered Immediately in training camps
established at Charlotte, n. c.,

Augusta and Macon, Ga, Admission
and Montgomery, Ala. Hattiesburg,
Miss, Alexandria, La, and Waco,
Houston and Fort Worth, Tex, and
officers training camps at Atlanta,
Ga, and Chattanooga, Tenn.
1T is difficult at this time to tell
how many hundred thousand state
troops from the North will be added
to the Southern contingent. 1t is
more than likely, however. that each
mobilization camp will contain near
or quite as many men as each can
tonment.
To give some idea of what this
inflow of troops means in none
tary sense, it can be said that the
100000 men in the Southern can
tonments will mean a pay roll for
Uncle Sam of about $14, 900 900 a
month.
And this is small sum COM
pared with what Uncle Sam must
