WASHINGTON ADOPTS 4 FRENCH VILLAGE
DEVASTATED DISTRICT FROM NoYoN TO THE SoMME
 BEING RESTORED.
S5,OOO ARE DESTITUTE
Civilian and Military Authorities Are Working in Close Cooperation on Restoring Lands Devastated By
 the Germans in Retreat

French Front.-American, French and British civilians are working Ill closest cooperation with the French military and civil authorities in Ire. storing the lands devastated by the Germans when they hurriedly quit the lines they had held for two years from Noyen to the Somme. The Asso- ciated Press correspondent, after yis- iting Noyon, the adopted daughter of Washington, went through the entire district and observed what was being done.
 Others have followed the example of the federal capital and have devot- ed their energies to the succor of par ticular localities. For instance, the American fund for French wounded has stepped aside from it's original idea and taken full charge of the ham let of Behericourt, with it's 125 re- maining inhabitants, all of whom were in the greatest distress. Ameri- can women have seen to it that all these poor people are provided with their most necessary requirements in the way of food and clothing.
 The Comtesse de Chabrannes La Palliee has taken to herself the ham, let of Maucourt, of which only heaps Of bricks and stones remain, and will rebuild it.
 Dr. Baron Henri de Rothschild has opened a food and clothing depot at Noyon and sends everything necessary to any applicant in any part of the af- fiicted district.
 All this, however, is but drop in the ocean when it is realized that there are 213 villages and hamlets spread over the county which the Germans before their retreat tried to make into a desert. One hundred of these small communities are now just heaps of stones and bricks without one habitable room or cellar among them, while of the remainder one third were partly demolished and the rest only slightly.
 Tn this region 35,000 old men and women and young children under IS years were left without shelter or food by the Germans. Some 12,000 of these evacuated immediately to the interior of France, where proportion of them joined relatives.
 The military authorities have grap- pied in a masterly way with the vast problem which confronts them of pro- viding for a large destitute commun- ity immediately behind the lines where a shield of French flesh and steel was holding back the Germans from possible return. They set to work to organize the country and it's people The first step was to provide food, and this was done through the military commissariat, as there was no means of civilian transport of sup plies from other parts of France.

Washington-Th epoehal landing Of American troops in France can not be fully discussed at this time for obvious reasons concerning the safety of other contingents.
 It is entirely permissible to say that they are part of the force which will be under command of Major General Pershing and for whose ar rival the general and his staff have been arranging ever since they land ed on the other side The Ameri- can troops will be an entirely inde- pendent command, just as are the British troops, working. of course, with the French at the head of opera tions. as they are on French soil.
 When the troops have had their period of preparation behind the lines, they will take place on the battle front. to be arranged by Gen. eral Pershing, in consultation with the other military chiefs there, and probably will very soon be carrying the Stars and Stripes in the assaults which steadily are driving the Ger mans out of France and Belgium.
 All the troops under General Per- shings command are regulars and comprise the division which Presi- dent Wilson directed to proceed to France "at the earliest possible time. :" Information of what other troop movements may be made is surround ed by censorship to insure, so far as possible, a safe voyage through the submarine zone.
 It is not permissible to say what precautions were taken to get the American troop ships past the wait ing German submarines, but there is no doubt that the precautions were most carefully worked out, because it is generally believed that some time ago most of the German submarine fleet was withdrawn from it's at tacks on commercial shipping to make 1t ready to ambush the American troop ships in force.
 The successful landing, while a source of qualification to officials here, viewed from the point of being military operation, is regarded with added significance, for it's moral ef- feet in Germany, if it is permitted to become known there

REDS STAGE RALLY

Kau1 and Burns Aid Matty's
 Men in Ninth Inning

Cincinnati, June 6.-After the Giants had launched a belated rally in the sixth inning, tied the score with two runs, then jumped in front by scoring run in the ninth. the game yesterday went to the Reds when Kauff and Burns acted as though Matty had paved his outneld with banana peels. The Reds opened the series with surprising victory when easy outfield flies fell for doubles in the ninth inning. The score was 6 to 5.
 Ferdie Schupp took one of his hardest lambastings of the season, but his string of victories was not severed. George Smith. the Colum- bia boy, went in with the Giants be- hind, and the game was tied up for him, only to be tossed away.
 With the score a tie at 4 and 4 in the ninth, Herzog beat slow bound CT to Kopf after two were out. Her zog stole second and went to third when Robertson hit an infield single to Groh. Zimmerman placed New York ahead when he singled to cen tSE, SCOAAAS 11S4AO6s 4SCSA01 S0SA forced Zirnm.

Kauff slipped in the mud and fell, and Mitchell's easy fly fell over his head for double, Shean taking third. Groh sent a drive to left. Burns first misjudged it, and then he too, sprawled on the wet turf and the ball went over his head for double. Shean and Nit chell scoring the winning runs. The score:

FRAZEE PLAYS SAFE

Red Sox Owner Protects His Interests
 Through L1oyd's Agency Agsanst
 Stormy Saturdays and Holidays.
 When Harry H. F'razee last winter purchased a half interest in the Bos- ton Red sox and a statement pur- porting to have come from him was printed in the newspapers that at the close of the 1917 season the champs would make tour of Brazil and other South American countries, 1t was feared that MT. Fraxee had in- troduced the theatrical into baseball and was in line for a gentle repri- mand bv Ban Johnson.
 The touring stunt was only a pipe dream as 1t turned out, but instead MT. Frazee has introduced certain business principles into baseball that are certain to be copied.
 It has been learned that Frazee has just closed with Lloyds on big in- surance proposition, which guarantees the management of the Red Sox revenue of at least $1O,O00 day for 12 Saturday and three holiday play ing dates in Boston this season.
 Frazee has agrsed to pay a prem ium of $15,0oO for insurance amount ing to $15O,000. This insurance cov- CTS possible loss by rain of big crowds at the Red Sox ball park dur ing the 12 Saturdays and three hoN- days which remain on the home schedule.
 If the weather should be fair ana every one of these games be played Frazee will be out $15,O00. If, on the other hand. it should happen to rain on two of these days he would collect $20,0OO from Lloyds and make money.
 F'razee says the other magnates will come to this before many years have elapsed. He Is popular with the players and also an ardent fan. Un- like his predecessor. Joe Lannin, the new owner is not a hard loser. He has unbounded confidence in the Red Sox to win the pennant again and has already invited his friends to come to Boston next October for the worlds series.
