A French Seaport, July 2.-(De.
Iayed.)-Ths last units Of the
American expedition army force,
comprising vessels loaded with
supplies and horses, arrived here
today amid the screeching Of
whistles and moaning Of sirens.
Their coming. one week after the
first troops landed, was greeted al.
most az warmly as the arrival Of
the troops themselves because il
meant complete success Of the
Undertaking.
Many Of the American soldiers
crowded down to the wharf to
greet the last ships Of the expe.
dition and the American vessels in
the harbor Joined in the welconne.
QUICK DEPARTURE FOR CAMP
The arrival Of tho horses and the
supplies makes an early get. away
for permanent training camps pos.
sible, for the troops will need to
wait only long enough for their
horses to get the "kinks out Of
their legs" rs one officer expressed
Il today. One battalion leaves to-
day for Paris to parade on tho
Fourth Of July and leave tho day
following for their permanent
training camp to be located behind
the battle front.

Of the entire undertaking, becaus,

A big contributing factor in tn

of telephone girls is to he recognized
probably will deprive Missoula and
much of western Montana of telephone
service for several days.
Company and operators practically
came to terms on other issues in
volved in a strike called at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The company
made wage proposal before the
strike was called which was almost a
concession Of the operators demands,
but recognition of the union was de-
MED as impossible by one side and
flatly insisted upon by the other. At
tempts at conciliation, made by the
Mlssoula Business Mems association
and the county Trades and Labor
council, failed to overcome this OBJ
stacle.
Officials PowerIess, They Say.
Montana officials of the company
say they have not authority to rec
ognize the union. The matter must
be taken up with the heads of the
company, they say, and cannot be set
tied. The strikers declare that recog-
milton could be secured immediately IL
recommended. The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company
recognizes only one union of opera
tors, one formed in Butte.
City Without Phones.
All telephone service ceased alb
ruptly at l o'clock. The city and ru-
raj lines in western Montana were af-
fected. Many business houses had to
resort to messenger service, and all
than ever before in their histories.
The fact that the city is full of visit
ors added to the confusion following
the strike. People went about asking
for permission to use neighbors' tele-
phones. saying that theirs were "out
of order" The telephone office was
invaded by scores Of angry subscribers
demanding the services of the trouble
man.
Many Conferences Held.
Conferences and meetings We're held
