HEADQUARTERS OF THE CANA
DIAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Jan. 25.--
Embedded in the heart OF the great
Canadian army in France is body OF
American citizens in khaki who have
already succeeded in effecting an
other Of several revolutions produced
IN warfare by the United States.
The first and most important was
the aeroplane, invented by the
Wrights; the second Is the machine
gun. originally designed by Hudson
Maxim, with the newer Lewis light
machine gun. easily carried Tor use
on aeroplanes. The third revolution
Is one I would hardly believe had
not had ocular demonstration. It Is
the conversion Of the British Tommy
to faith IN pork and beans instead Of
the beef on which he has fought since
the time Of the Norman conquest Of
England.
These Americans in the British
Army with whom I have Just spent n
day are a part Of the topsy-turvydom
In which we are living and when
saw them marching back from the
trenches TO such tunes as my Coun-
try. "rls OF Thee" and "The Star
Spangled Banner. and less classical
and more modern ragtime music,
wondered what the small American
boys who have so often tested me on
the Fourth Of July celebration IN
your country, would have thought of
this factor in the war that Is not
sufficiently known I'm the United
States.
propose telling you what the
American soldiers In the British and
French armies are doing, where
they come from how they live and
why the Germans are particularly
bitter towards them and say that
these splendid Americans we're hired
BY ne Allies. From the German
point OF view the pay OF Americans
who are fighting against Prussianism
Is doubtless princely.
II amounts to exactly a dollar and
q quarter a day. I leave people In

The falsehood is one OF the bits of
German boomerang propaganda with
which neutrals are becoming ac-
quainted.
The Americans in the British and
French armies enlisted in divers
ways. In the first few months Of the
war many came to England direct and
entered the British army. Those who
were resident in Europe at the out
break OF the war formed a union
with British residents IN France and
joined the French. Others came over
later and entered the flying service,
where they have done splendid work.

ficial report to the American embas-
sy today on the shelling and sinking

Richard Wallace. q negro, was killed
| by shrapnel shells which the German
J fired at the open boat carrying the
survivors.
After having thus shelled the sur
vivors, the German submarine disap-
Ipeared without proffering aid, the
consul declared.
Frost's report was received by tele-
graph from Queenstown. He declared
the German submarine opened fire on
the Eavestone from a distance OF
three thousand yards and that her
IprojectiIes struck the vessel repeated

declared, the Germans guns were

Three shrapnel shells struck the

Guiding Richard Wallace, the Ameri-
can," the report continued.
THE second officer was wounded.
when the boats containing the
survivors had rowed five hundred
yards away, the Eavestone sank. The
submarine then approached near the
boats, but made no inquiry as to in
juries of the survivors, nor did her
commander proffer aid"
1t was pointed out here, that the
consul's report specifically fails to
mention any Of the three factors
which might be construed as making
the sinking of the Eavestone legal
under international law. He did not
say that the Eavestone was warned
in advance of the attack; he did not
mention resistance offered by the
Eavestone nor were there any details
Of an attempt by that vessel to escape
her assailant.
Unofficial Queenstown dispatches
today quoted survivors landed there
as telling narrowing stories of their
experience in being shelled by shrap-
mel while endeavoring to escape. Two
boats were launched by the crew when
it became apparent the Eavestone was
in a sinking condition. but before
these two had entirely cleared away,
the German gun fire began.
The Queenstown press dispatches
agreed that five persons had been
killed, listing in addition to the cap
tain and steward, the engineer and
