SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. Tuesday,
June 26.-There was a slight sea haze
presaging glorious summer day, when
the arrival Of the American ships was
signaled. Those privileged persons who
knew what was going on passed along
the deserted quays before the town
clocks had struck 6 o'clock. The port
commanders launch put off at once
with the French authorities and a num-
Der of American officers.
The American ships were met short
distance out steaming toward land-a
veritable armada OF huge transports,
whose black hulls showed clearly
against the horizon. while the gray
forts of their escorting destroyers
were almost blotted out in the lead
colored sea. Dominating all was an
enormous American cruiser. with Its
peculiar upper works.
The warships picked up their moor
ings with clock-work precision and the
transports were taken in charge by
tugs, which towed them to their ap-
pointed berths.
Cheers Are Exchanged.
By this time the haze had disappeared
and crowds began to gather. AS the
great transports were slowly brought
alongside the quays on the stroke of
s o'clock. work ceased for the moment
and the troops came to salute.
Then there were resounding cheers
from the transports to which the pop

Along the breakwater there were gangs
of men who took no part in the demon
stration Of welcome. They were German
prisoners who gazed in open-mouthed
establishment at the spectacle.
Each transport as she was made fast
was greeted with loud cheers. and the
scenes of enthusiasm were repeated
throughout the morning.
The meeting between tine American
general in command of the transports

He added:

The general then left to inspect the

similar point was made in the Birm-
ingham Post, which said: THE AmerI-
can soldiers who have gone to France
are not recruits nor are they unframed

probably see the flower Of the old
American army. that is to say. the es-
tablished force which existed before
America entered the war, on French
soil. They go to France Just as we'll
equipped and just as well trained as
any of the old Kitchener battalions. and
they will only require the same local
training that our new battalions re-
quire before they are put into the line.
What is SO encouraging about their
arrival is the remarkable promptitude
with which the United States has put
in its trained material, and It doubtless
came in the nature OF shock to Will

AT A FRENCH PORT. June 30.-Al!
of the first expeditionary corps Of Gen.
Pershing's army are safely on French
soil. Conveyed by naval vessels they
passed through the German U-boat zone
without a mishap and the soldiers land
ed IN fit condition to take up their In
tthsive training.
The feat of the warships and destroy
ers in escorting them through the cor
don of watchful submarines without
the loss of life rivals, perhaps sur
passes. the marvellous success of the
British in bringing their expeditionary
force across the channel in August,
1914.
What risks they ran. what perils
the American navy's efficiency and vigil
lance faced and vanquished, may not
be told now. Suffice to say that the
dangers were very real and very close
and that they were overcome reflects
the greatest credit upon the commander
of the conveying war vessels and all
his officers and crews.
The transports once moored to the
quays which had been prepared to re-
ceive them, the troops speedily dsem-
barked and regiment by regiment.
without the slightest confusion and
with a total absence of fuss and with
in a few hours marched away to the
camp outside of the city.
Mistaken at First for Canadians.
Men. women and children lined the
sidewalks as the Americans passed and
wonderingly eyed the fighting men of
their ally overseas. There was no
boisterous manifestation of welcome, be-
cause the secrecy surrounding the new
Corners arrival precluded all accurate
advance knowledge of the historic
event among the townspeople them
selves. There were, of course, num-
berless rumors af1oat, but SO vague was
the public's appreciation of what they
were witnessing that even after more
than half of the contingent had passed
through the town, 1 overheard by
ISLANDERS discussing the reason for the
Canadians" coming to this port of
France.
But if the cheers of greeting to the
boys in olive drab lacked the volume of
those that fell upon the ears of their
commander-in-chief when he. first drove
through the streets of Paris, it was not
because such French folk as realized
what was going ON were not deeply
stirred by the spectacle. Tears of graft
tude welled up in the eyes of French
gaxed upon the living symbols Of their
sister republics resolve to fight at the
side OF their own Poi1us' fight for all
humanity.

suppose that this force will be followed
all at once by large bodies Of men,"
After remarking that the news will cause
encouragement when it spreads through
the central empires. the Guardian said:
THE Germans have not denied the
power of the United States to improvise
great army. Their generals made denial
positively at the beginning Of the war,
when they read about Kitcheners mil
lions. and they did SO quite sincerely. be-
cause no soldiers trained in the CONT
mental staff schools would believe that an
unmilitary people like the British could
improvise formidable armies of the mod
ern type within two years. They learned
better, and what they say now Is not
that a great American army cannot be
produced, but that the submarines will
prevent it from being brought across the
sea
THE arrival of the American advance
guard is the first answer to their prophecy
Many others of a like kind will follow as
the months go by. The trouble about the
Germans is that they lack imagination"

The Looking Glass In Fiction.

All nations have shown by their sto ries how the looking glass is regarded as ministering to vanity. The ancient Greeks depicted Venus with a mirror and even described her chamber as lined all over with mirrors. so that whichever way her eyes turned she could behold her beautiful self. But Minerva never used q mirror. Pass to West Africa and we find a native story which begins with a magic mirror that possessed the power of speech and al- ways said. Mistress there Is none." when its owner. a woman called Ma ria. asked 1t, My mirror. is there any other beautiful woman like myself2" But one day Aaria's daughter entered the forbidden room where it was kept. asked similar question and got similar answer A tale of maternal jealousy and vengeance follows.-Lon- don Spectator.
