AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE. Thursday, September 20 (by
the Associated Press).-By day and by
night the men of the American regl-
ment of engineers which has taken over
an important line of French strategic
railways are hauling tons upon tons of
ammunition and other supplies to the
French army units operating against
the Germans The American regiment
has been turned over as a unit to the
French and is getting all its supplies,
except clothing. from the French gov
ernment. The officers and men entered
upon the work with the greatest en-
thusiasm and they already have been
under German bombs and machine gun
fire from airplanes.
Within the past few nights a heavy
train of supplies hurrying toward the
front was attacked by several enemy
planes None Of the bombs came dan
gerously close, but every time the fire
box of the engine was opened for stok-
ing the planes swooped down upon the
train and spattered it with steel-jack
eted bullets. The fire got so hot that
eventually the train was stopped, the
crew taking refuge beneath the engine.

Before proceeding to the front the resi-

French town within the zone OF the

night after all lights had been extinguish-

Whether the State Department is IN
possession of other evidence indicating
the ambassadors activities has not
been revealed. but the extraordinary
disclosures already made has fixed the
belief that agents of the United States
government have collected and COM
piled the entire story of German du-
plicity and intrigue, and that addition
al chapters will be added.
The reference to averting war is
taken as an indication that Ambassa-
dor Bernstoff had prior knowledge OF
his governments intention to proclaim
a merciless, widespread submarine war
fare, and that he was equally confident
that the United States government
could not be easily placated by mere
promises The German announcement
of it's intention TO expand its suoma-
rine activities was not made pubic
until January 81. when the world was
startled not only by the determination
to remove all restrictions, but by the
statement that it would become effec-
tive on the following day. Three days
later the United States government had
expressed it's disapproval by severinG
relations with Germany.
