WASHINGTON ELATED OVER SAFE
ARRIVAL EXPEDITION IN FRANCE
Twice German Submarines Driven Of by Convoy
ing Batteships Life, No Vessel, No Ami
NAL Lost in Making Crossing.

lRy Associated rressl

Washington, July Am air Of Ella
ton today prevailed in administra-
ton circles over the safe arrival of the
first American overseas expedition
after voyage on which submarine
attacks were twice repealed with the
loss of at least one of the undersea
raiders. The forces were landed intact
at a French port without the loss Of
a man, ship or animal
The first encounter on June twenty
second was a complete victory for the
conveying destroyers whose accurate
gun fire speedily routed the attacking
forces. A few days later the Amer
lean gunners effectively threw a pro-
Itecting screen around the transports
and held the raiders at a safe distance.
The presence Of oil on the water after
the battle indicated the destruction of
one and probably more submarines.
Both attacks were made far out
in the Atlantic beyond the ordinary
range Of the submarine activities. Thin
is taken to indicate that the Germans
were furnished information concern
ing the precise route of the American
contingent. Every effort is being
made to run down the spies who are
believed to have furnished the infor-
nation to the enemy.

GIRLS WEAR AMERICAN FLAGS
Many Parts Sewing Girls Wear Uncle
Sans Flag During Strike.

=. Paris, July 4--(By Associated Press)
American flags were worn by a
great many of the Partisan sewing
girls during their recent strike. Ask
ed why they chose the Stars Spangled
Banner as a standard of their revolt,
one of them replied: "Why because
we demand the 'semaine anglaise"
(the English week with Saturday hall
holiday
"Then wouldn't the British flag
be more appropriated" it was asked
perhaps, but the 'drapeau etoile'
(the stars and stripes) are much more
becoming"
That was real Rue de la Paix rea-
son, but there was another, entirely
unconnected with coquetry; it was the
new meaning of the United States Of
America have acquired in France.
To the French common people in
general, who travel little and are not
very strong on geography, America
has long been a country in the vague
distance, celebrated for its billionairs
and from whence long absence rela-
tions returned with fabulous wealth
to save the financial situation of their
families. The seUncle from America
became legendary through popular
fiction and sentimental drama, George
Washington, Lincoln and Wilson are
now taking the place in the French
mind.
France learned much about tht
United States during the first two
years Of the war through American
motor ambulances and hospitals
American comforts and relief of al
kinds sent to soldiers and civilian suf
ferers, and through American tobacco
Of which nearly every soldier had I
share. She was all ready to pour ou
her heart to America, which she hai
done freely since the United Statet
became her ally.
No one in France has the advantage
Of the Partisan sewing girl or mid
inette.r as they call her, IN either sen
tirnent or patriotism; no strike IN TIL

timent mixed with II; consequent!

With a sheet Of words without music

to the United States Of America.
