IN FRANCE, August 16.-The review

bert of all the troops of his command in
training for the trenches afforded a
military spectacle of international sig
nificance and historic import. 1t was
the first time that the troops OF this
particular unit Of the American Army In
France had been assembled in its en-.
tirety. and the display they made was
deeply Impressive.
There have been other reviews of
American troops in foreign lands--in
the Philippines. Cuba, faraway Guam
and Panama-but there seemed to be an
entirely new meaning to the sturdy
tramp of the men of America in France
today. One saw in them the symbol OF

Scene of Changing Brilliance.

Here and there picturesque little
French villages. white walled and req
rooted. snuggled amid the trees OF
matchless valleys. Occasionally these
valleys were bathed in sunshine. and
again they were hidden in the gray
mist Of rain. The scene was one OF
changing brilliance and shadow, the
deep blue of the harvest sky and daz-
cling August sun being masked now
and then by masses OF cumulus storm
clouds driven along by a stinening
gale.
storm broke over the marching troops,
but it was only OF brief duration, and
there was not a falter in any part OF
the line. There is an officers bombing
school near the point where the review
was held, and throughout the time the
troops were assembling and marching
by loud explosions of hand grenades
in the near distance gave touch OF
war reality to the picture. Very early
move. They were scattered in dozen
or more French villages. and each regi-
ment was assembled in q village where
its headquarters had been established.
The new Army regiments are modelled
on the European standard, quite differ
ent from the old American regiments,
and when on the march yesterday In
column of fours the line seemed to
stretch an interminable distance along
beautifully paved roads lined with
giant trees. As the Americans passed
through the French villages en- route
to the reviewing field the French peas
ant folk gaZed at them open-eyed in
Amusement and admiration.
They have seen much OF the Ameri-
can soldiers individually and in COM
panies since their arrival, but this was
the first gathering in force of the new
allies. and the impression 1t made on
the villagers, farmers and French SOL
diers on leave could easily be seen and
appreciated.

Even General Surprised.


The French who have been training
companies and battalions of the Ameri-
can army were also surprised. and 1t
can be truthfully stated that there was
a distinct pause of surprise and ad-
miration on the part of Mai. Gen. Sibert
himself when riding at the head OF the
stan he reached the crest Of the re-
viewing platform and saw his khaki
clad command drawn up in a wonder
full far-hung line before him.
Attached to his stan were half a
dozen French officers, including the
general Of a famous division. all OF
whom were enthusiastic in their praise
of the spectacle. Maj. Gen. sibert and
the various regiments drawn up at at
tention. The reviewing ground was
staked out with American flags, and
when Gen. Sibert had taken up his po-
sition the immobile army began to
move. The maneuvers by which 1t
broke from regimental fronts into lines

battalions would have done credit to
soldiers with years OF training behind
them.
1t was the first time an American
army had passed in review under it's

lam Bayard Hale, state marketing Of
ficial and prominent pacificist and
educator, may become the object of
an inquiry by the United States as a
result Of charges made against him
today by Edgar Allen Forbes, secre-
tary of the State Marketing Bureau,

munitions to the Allied nations.
Hale is explaining to trends that
n conducting the campaign in the
East he invited Forbes to conduct the
coast campaign.
DR.. Hale is alleged to have written
to Forbes as follows:
"The campaign would involve some

Calexico, Oct. 11.-Fire which
threatened to spread to an entire
neighborhood and destroy the most
beautiful homes in the best residence
district of Calexico completely razed
the Aitken home and the Harry Long
manson on lockwood avenue at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
The water supply Of Calexico was
shut off at 1890 while repairs were
being made on the pumps. At 2
o'clock gasoline stove in the Aitken
home blew up and the flames quickly
spread throughout the building and
leaped across 25-foot space, catching
to the Long residence.
A few feet from the Long home is
situated the new E. E. Dickinson man.
sion, the most beautiful in Calexico.
Sparks from the burning buildings
landed on the roof of this residence
and it also caught fire.
The entire force of soldiers at the
military camp at Calexico were or
dered to the fire and, with army fire
extingu;shers, assisted the fremen in
preventing the spread of the flames.
The Dickinson home was saved,
though the beautiful trees that sur
rounded it were burned by the heat
from the blazing buildings.
The city water department made
frantic efforts to place the pumps in
commission, but at a late hour this
afternoon they had not succeeded.
Only the absence of a breeze pre-
vented the spread Of the conflgration
to the entire neighborhood. The city
was thrown into a panic for, without
water and with the dry condition of
all the homes, it was feared that the
flames would spread beyond the con-
troll Of the fire fighters. The presence
OF the soldiers, it is believed, saved
this section of the city.

Los Angeles Buyers Of Fine Valley
Swine Getting Wise to Fact They
Are Not Paying Enough.

Jubilant hog raisers are today re-
porting better bids for their stock on
the part Of Hauser and other Los An
geles pork buyers as result of the
recent agitation for sending special
train of hogs to Kansas City.
j. E. Allen, A. R. Ferguson and
other hog raisers state today that the
Los Angeles bid has come up from
14a to near 16 cents in the last few
days for grain-finished animals.
Heretofore the coast men seemed not
to differentiate between tn milo-fed
animals and those which were grass
finished, as far as the maximum price
was concerned.
Will Stanton shipped this morning
to Wilson & Co. of Los Angeles a
carload of fine hogs, for which he
paid l51. cents a pound--the record
high price received by grower in
the Imperial Valley.
The porkers averaged lSO pounds,
and there were 90 in the car. They
were raised by c. A. Magaw of Bonds
Corner, and tn unusual price was
paid because there were just enough
to make a car in the lot. They were
strictly hard-grain fed, and declared
by experts to be as fine bunch as
has ever been gathered for shipment.
