ALL TROOPS ARE REGULARS.
AND COMPRISE DIVISION OR.
DERED TO EUROPE MAY is.
THOUSANDS OF MEN HAVE
GONE TO FIGHT GERMANS

Crossed in Record Time Despite u
Boats. Are in Excellent Shape and
Ready for Action. Net Gain to
The Allies.
The advance guard of the mighty
army the United States is preparing
to send against Germany is on French
soil
The second contingent of Ameri-
can troops arrived at a French sea-
port and disembarked Wednesday
morning. The troops landed amid
the frantic cheers of the people who
had gathered for hours before in an
ticipation of duplicating yesterdays
surprise.
Enthusiasm rose to fever pitch
when it was learned that the trans
ports and conveys had successfully
passed the submarine zone. The port
was speedily befagged in honor of
the occasion.
All the troops were transferred to
camp where Major General William
L. Sibert is installed. Thence they
will go soon to a point near the
front. All the troops are in excellent
shape, enthusiastic over the success
full trip and their reception and eager
for action.
All Seasoned Men.
In defiance of the German subma-
rines, thousands of seasoned regulars
and marines, trained fighting men
with the tan of long service on the
Mexican border or in Haiti or Santo
Domingo still on their faces, have
been FASTENED overseas to fight be-
side the French, the British. the Bel
gian, the Russian, the Portuguese and
the Italian troops on the western
front.
News of the safe arrival of the
troops sent new thrill through Wash
ington. No formal announcement
came from the war department, but
when Major General Pershing's Of
fetal report has been received there
may be statement as to the num-
bers and composition of. the advance
guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumably sent forward with the APP
prevail of General Pershing's staff,
show that Major General Sibert, one
of the new major generals of the
army, commands the first force sent
abroad, under General Pershing as
commander in chief of the expedi-
ton.
One thing stands out sharp, despite
the fact that the size of the task that
has been accomplished is not fully re-
vealed as yet This is that American
enterprise has set a new record for
the transportation of troops.
Considering the distance to be COW
cred and the fact that all prepare
tions had to be made after the order
came from the white house the night
of May Is, it is practically certain
that never before has a military ex-
petition of this size been assembled,
conveyed and landed without mishap
in so short time. It is a good augury
of future achievements.
Net Gain to the Allies.
The American forces will be net
gain to the allies. 1t will throw no
single burden of supply or equipment
upon them. The troops will be fed,
clothed, armed and equipped by the
United States.
Despite the enormous difficulties of
unpreparedness and submarine dan
gers that faced them, the plans Of
the army general staff have gone
through with clocklike precision.

The 700 members of the crews of the German auxiliary cruisers Kron- prinz Wilhelm and Prinz Eitel Fried rich, interned at the Philadelphia navy yard since last October, were sent under heavy guard of marines to Fort Oglethorpe and Fort McPher- son, Georgia, where they will be kept until further orders from Washing ton.
 A large crowd, held back by cor don of marines and 500 policemen, saw the departure of the sailors from Philadelphia. In each car Of the two sections there was a marine guard of fourteen men.
 There were no untoward incidents during the transfer, which was car ried out smoothly.
 A skeleton crew has been left aboard each vessel, barely enough to wash down decksfand otherwise keep the ships clean.

'wllt zee to 1t that no picture exhibited interferes with the regular Sunday church schedules. No picture will be allowed to be shown before two o'clock in the afternoon, or later than ten o'clock at night. Baseball. football, basketball, and other sports will be confined to the same hours.
 Any city the size of New Britain should know what is good for it and what is not. The people may be left to decide. The small towns that en- ter objection to the local option end of the bill in question do so because they claim the larger cities will draw their population away on Sunday nights. The one best argument ad- vanced against that proposition runs after this fashion: If the millionaires and fabulously wealthy people of small towns are enabled to speed in their motors to clubs and other places of amusement on Sunday and still be within the law, the laboring man should be allowed the privilege of visiting the nearest moving picture house with his wife and family and there spending a quiet evening. By this method of seeking entertainment. especially when the picture houses must close down by ten o'clock Sun days,-7-workmen are insured of clear minds and steady bodies to begin work with on Monday morning. D4s prived of innocent amusement. 1t is the nature of man to seek entertain ment in out-of7 7the-way places,-in violation of all laws.
 The so-called liberal Sunday bill is in keeping with modern America. It is . step forward. It Is the first move toward gettingHthe population of a modern state out of the rut As the only difference between rut and the grave is depth, Senator Klett, as chairman of the Judiciary committee. who led the light for the bill as it came out ofAthe house. deserves the credit of trying to set Connecticut on the high road to freedom. The old blue laws have seen their day. They have spent their usefulness. They are as useless now as a deaths head Tt the feastX The liberal Sunday law is more in Keeping with the progress siveness ofsthe twentieth century.

Windows were shattered and hun dreds of pounds of foodstuffs de- stroyed. Women who entered the shops to make purchases were seized. their clothing torn and their parcels taken from them and thrown into the street. More than fifty arrests were made.

JAPANESE PROBLEM
 FAR FROM SETTLED
Editors h Nippon Comment on
 Alien Bills in U. s.

Tokio, March 3O.-Appearance of bills believed here to be anti-Japanese in. nature in the legislatures of Idaho and Oregon confirmed the Japanese people in the belief that the problem of the Japanese in the United States still is far from settled.
 The newspapers published lengthy dispatches from the United States narrating the developments of the Oregon and Idaho legislation but only a few of them published editorial com- ment.
 At the present time the press is in- terested in the possibilities of China entering the war. in the political crisis at home and especially in the prospects, to establish cooperation between Am ericansaand Japanese In tho develop- ment in China. A
 Japan wishes to share in the devel- opment of China and incidentally her representative people, the business ele- ment particularly. believe that if the United States and Japan can ind . common interest the chances of find- ing a solution of all problems will be improved. This idea is expressed in an article written by the chief editor of the Nichi Nichi. who finds his text In the recent American bills and in the recent founding of an American-Ja- panese association for the exchange of ideas on vital problems concerning the two countries.
 "How to preserve and promote, " writes the editor. tho friendly rela- tions between the United States and Japan-a historic relationship of sirl- cere friendship since the visit of Conn modore Perry-is question which is taxing the brains of many prominent men in the higher station of life of both countries. The people are bound to strive for fundamental solution of any difficulty which may arise"
 The newspaper traces the history of anti-Japanese legislation and says that tho washington government would point to the power of the individual states and its ina ability to control, though 1t might influence, state ac- ton. It continues:
 rSsThe Japanese nation understands the viewpoint of the Washington gov- erument but should the constant oc- currence of such undesirable legisla- ton, to which there seems no end, be left unquestioned we fear 1t would gradually eatrange the relations be- tween the two countries to . point ap-

UNCLE SAM JUsTIF1ED.

ChAnc1llor von Bethmann-H Hollweg merely wastes so much good time advancing arguments in favor of ruth leas submarine warfare. This, coun- try h in no mood to hear further de- fense of acts that are indefensible. So. for the most part, his speech of yesterday mSst fall on deaf ears. The debate. so far as we are con- cerned, is ended. It is all very pretty to say that Germany never has de- sired war with us. does not now de- sire war with us, and never will de- sirc war with us. Actions, however. speak loud4F than words.

 It does not require very much in telligence to know that Germany is now violating international laws ir the continuance of it's ruthless sub marine policy against neutral ships The United States has suffered more 1
