BUENOS AIRES READY
 FOR AMERICAN FLEET

Buenos Aires, July 24-Strict sur vefllance of the docks during the visit of the American squadron has been taken by the authorities here. The vessels will reach port this afternoon. After welcoming addresses one of the first acts of the visiting marines will be to leave a wreath on the tomb of Gen. Jose De San Martin, the South American liberator, and at the statue of Washington. The Americans have been given the freedom of the city during their stay.
 A German bank is reported to have confidentially to the Argentine gov ernment an immediate loan of 400,- 0000,00 piastres. Although much German capital is concentrated in the banks here, the maneuver is thought to have ben made in an effort to neu- tralize the growing sympathy in Ar genuine for the Allies and to profit by the financial necessities of the gov ernment and it's difficulties to obtain g. loan in Europe.

AERIAL FORCES
 OF US. UNDER ONE COMMAND
Will Be Divided Into Tactical and Strategic
 Glasses.

Paris, July 24-Plans have been Completed for bringing all American aviation forces here under a single direction, working in conjunction with other military units. Aeroplane squadrons will be divided into two classes, tactical and strategic. The former will operate within a range of 25 kilometres and the latter within g. range of 200 kilometres.
 The tactical units will cooperate directly with the troops, doing pre- liminary reconnoitering, pursuing ene- my aviators and bombarding enemy establishments. The strategic squa- drons in general will operate inde- pendently. They will be engaged in destroying enemy defenses and at tacking supply bases, depots and fac tories They will also take part in squadron fighting and day and night bonnbaraments.
 Observation balloons will be used largely as an adjunct to the artil- lery.
 It is ordered that hereafter the names of no American officers except Maj. Gen. Pershing and Maj. Gen. Si- bert be mentioned in news dis patches.

TEuTONS FIGURED ION FOODS FROM US. TO NEuTRALS.
Counted Heavily on Re-Export
 Into Germany.

London, July 24-That high Ger man command had based it's war cal culations on food supplies which America has been sending the Neu- trals became known, according to the Daily Mail, through the famous speech of Herr Erzberger, head of the Catholic party in the Reichstag, made before secret session of that body The newspapers referred to this address as a 'sbombshell." Herr Erzberger remarked tha: alth ough Americas entry to the war was of little military value, it was important owing to the extent to which Germany was dependent on the neutrals for food and other supplies.
 He said that America had decreed that she would not per,-.it exports to neutrals as long as these neutrals ex- ported to Germany. Consequently, Herr Erzberger said, Germany would very soon lose it's source of supply. The terrible fact he said, had to be faced that the military authorities had entirely figured on these supplies and that nobody in authority could find an answer or give any idea from here these supplies were to come.

INCESSANT CANNONADINC REDuCES| FRENCH CITY OF RHEIMS TO RUINS

French Front, July 24.-Rheims is willing. The big cathedral city Of the Champagne district has the appear ance of a hollow shell which has col- lapsed in parts and is rapidly subs1o- ing into a shapeless mass.
 Not only the cathedral but all the public buildings ands private dwellings have suffered terribly in the last half year from the raging vengeance Of the German gunners, who have turned 8 rain of shells on the stricken city whenever their armies have been de- feated at any point of the front. Ihese defeats have been so frequent since the allied offensive began this year that the city has rarely passed more than two or three days without under going severe bcnbardment.>
 The extent of the undeserveId pun ish1nent may be gathered from the figures relating the number of shells of all calibres poured in streets and on to the cathedral during a single fortnight, from June 15 to June 2S. The total between those two dates was no less than 16, 852. On June 15 the number was 206; June 16, 1,211.: June r, 2OO0; June IS, BY; June 1a, 2,431; June 20, 400; June q, 945; June P, 1880; June 23, 625; June "A, 1870; June 25, 1,517 June 26, 1,400; June 27. 500; June 28, 1,200
 There are only 5000 persons left out of peace population of about d15,000. Among theme are a goodly proportion of women and children. Some of the younger women have continued their work throughout, many of them be- ing employed in the champagne eel lars, where during the day they are comparatively safe from the German fire.
 Schools still are carried on, the classes being held far below the street surface, and the municipal govern ment also is conducted in the bowels of the earth, where the city fathers meet to discuss relief measures.
