and pronounced excellent soldiers.
Guardsmen Well Received
The guardsmen have been arriving
in the American zone for many weeks.
They are scattered somewhat. but as
far rs possible the units from the same
state have been kept close together ex-
cept in one case. They found the reg
ular army had made good preparations
for them, and while many are billeted
In French towns, others have been
In low wooden barracks es-
pecially erected.
The troops from the various states
have been recognized by the French
population and have been welcomed
enthusiastically. Many of the units on
arriving In billet towns wore the
French red, white and blue cockade
pinned TO their campaign hats. These
were given TO the soldiers when they
landed mt base ports. After suffi-
Client time 20 rest from the journey,

to work training for actual service at

SHIPPING PROBLEM SOLVED.
The Solution Found in Enormous
Ship-RuiIdina Program of v. S.

Paris.-The problem of shipping has
been solved by the allies, cambridge
Colby, representative of the American
shipping board, said Sunday. The so
luton is found in the enormous ship
building program of the United States.
II am not permitted, by the nature
of things, to discuss the work OF cur
mission and its results" said Mr.. Col
by. 81 can say, however, that it has
been of the highest value and signifi-
canoe. My time has been almost en-
t.rely engaged with the shipping prob
lem. which is in a sense the problem
of the war.
81 think 1 can fairly say that the
problem is solved. The stupendous
building program of America is the
answer to the submarine, the answer
which the defective psychology of Ger
many could not foresee."

AMERICANS TAKE
PART IN FIGHTING
CAUGHT IN GERMAN TURNING
MOVEMENT AND ESCAPE BY
LYING IN SHELL HOLES.
Join Britons When They Come Up and
Fight in the Ranks In Attack
That Causes Huns TO Beat
Retreat.

London.-Large numbers Of Ameri-
can army engineers working on the
British railways in the region Of Gou-
zeacourt, caught in the German turning
movement, escaped by lying in shell
holes and prone on the ground while
the British fired over them. There
they remained until the British were
near enough to enable the Americans
to join the ranks.
Then they fought valiantly and
played an important part in replying
to the ehemy. The British command
ers refer to their valiant behavior with
the greatest enthusiasm.
Americans elsewhere took a busy
hand in the fighting and were under
hot German shell fire. Numbers of
them volunteered for patrol work in
the danger zone and all acquitted
themselves finely.
British Lines Holding.
The attempt of the Bavarian Crown
Prince Rupprecht by an encircling
movement to nulify the brilliant adj
vance of the British General Byng
toward Cambria has resulted apparent
ly in complete failure.
Although at certain points the Ger
mans pierced the British lines and
captured positions, men and guns, they
have paid dearly for their enterprise
in casualties-the dead near La Vac
querie during the course of twelve
hours having been greater in num-
bers than during any similar period
of fighting since the war began.
Relatively the British line remains
as it was before the German drive.
it is just as strong.
The enemy has again turned his at
tentlon to the lower Piave river, where
large forces of infantry with machine
guns have attempted to seek lodge
ment inside the inundated triangle be-
tween the Piave and Old Piave. This
inundated region is crossed laterally
by several roads which stand just
above the water, and taking advan-
tage of this the enemy has advanced
his forces along these high stretches |
and given considerable trouble with |
sniping from the upper windows of |
farm houses.
