BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Two contingents Of Major General
Pershing's expeditionary force OF
American regulars were safely landed
in France last week, the first on Tues
day and the second on Wednesday.
The armada that carried them across
the Atlantic and that conveyed them
took also great quantities of supplies
for their maintenance. The troops
now on French soil are under the i'm
mediate command of Brig. Gen. w. l..
Sibert.
This safe and speedy arrival Of sea-
soned fighting men in France Is a tri-
umph of American skill and efficiency.
Without any publicity, the troops were
assembled, embarked on many vessels
and taken through the German subma-
r1ne zone without an accident to mar
the success of the great operation.
That these troops and the thousands
that are to follow them carry all their
own supplies makes them net gain
for the allies. The United States
feeds, clothes, arms and eQuips them
without making single demand on
the French or the British.
General Pershing has prepared ev-
erything for the participation of his
army in the actual warfare. and sec
ton Of the line near st. Quentin Is to be
turned over to the Americans.
1t developed on Thursday that
George Creel, civilian head Of the COM
mittee on public information, author
lied the publication Of the news of
the arrival Of the troops contrary to
the wishes of the war department,
whereupon Secretary Baker withdrew
the dissemination Of war department
news from the jurisdiction Of Creel's
organization and appointed General
Mcintyre sole censor and dissemination
of war department news.
Coal and Wheat Embargo.
President Wilson appointed board
of export control, composed of the
secretaries of commerce, state and Ia
Dor and the food administrator, and
the board at once began gathering
data on which 1t recommended that
the president place at least partial en-
bargoes on wheat and bunker coal,
and possibly on other commodities.
The shutting-off Of shipments Of food
stuffs to certain neutral countries, it
is believed, will nearly put an end to
their sending Of food to the central
powers. An embargo on bunker coal
not only will help in controlling neu-
trail and other shipping, but also will
give to the shipping board weapon
to force down present exorbitant ocean
freight rates.
Speaking of coal, the coal commit.
tee of the council Of national defense
scored big victory Tuesday when 1t
persuaded" 400 coal barons to agree
to sell their product at a reasonable
price to be fixed with the approval Of
the committee. The operators, who
represented both the bituminous and
the anthracite fields, were told fatty
that unless they behaved themselves
the government would take over their
output.
The immediate result of all this was
. the agreement of the bituminous op-
orators to make cuts Of 81 to So a
ton in the cost Of coal to the jobbers.
This, 1t was declared, would bring
about an immediate reduction of prices
to the consumer.
Consideration Of the food-control bill
with it's "bone-dry" feature, which the
house passed, occupied much Of the
time of the senators. Their committee

TRACING A CRIMINAL.
The Most Expert Will Leave Some
Mark That Betrays Him.

The Most Expert Will Leave Some
Mark That Betrays Him.
Successful criminals nearly always
specialize in their work, and it is ow-
ing to this fact that detectives in many
cases are able to track them down,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Not
only do criminals make a practice of
committing one particular style Of
crime. but the methods professional
crooks employ are practically always
on the same plan.
One burglar, for instance, will al
ways enter through the fanlight over
the front door Of a shop, another by
breaking in at the back. Most burglars,
too, will continually repeat burglary
in the same neighborhood.
It Is by carefully observing and not
Ing the special systems notorious crooks
adopt that detectives can often effect
their arrests. Many time burglary
has occurred and the criminal vanish
ed, leaving apparently no marks by
which he could be traced, and police
officials have been able to produce him
in court within few days, to the utter
establishment of all concerned.
It does not matter how subtle or
careful a criminal may be, he always
leaves some betraying sign behind for
the well Informed detective to act upon.
