ing over flooded fields "bridged'
by great chunks of cork held to-
gether by barbed wire, fighting
amid roar of wind, rain and gun
fire, the men of France reclaimed
Belgian ground held by the Ger
mans since 1914.
France worked a modern mira
Gle to make her soldiers literally
walk on the sea in achieving the
great victory in this battle of the
inundation.
Feverishly working n deluge
of rain, French engineers carpet
ed the great barrier of water
which was No Mans Land in
Flanders with great islands Of
cork. They built miles of tres
ties and countless bridges.
Germans Desperate.
It was over this mo Mans Wa
ter" that the French swept on to
victory.
The Teuton command threw
fresh divisions into the Flanders
maelstrom with unparalleled prod
igality. That the Germans should
sacrifice SO many thousands of
her troops, when her high COM
mand is now faced with steadily
waning man power, is proof of
the immense importance in which

Navy In
REVOLT
united Press Leased Wire.)


AMSTERDAM, Oct. 10.-A rev.
dictionary plot in the German
navy, similar to that which broke
out in the Russia Baltic fleet re-
Gently, was disclosed by Admiral
Won Capelle, minister of marine,
In a speech before the reichstag.
The admiral frankly stated that
It was unfortunately sad fact
that the Russian revolution turn
ed the heads of some persons In
our navy"
Won Cappelle declared that the
plot had been suppressed and
claimed that socialist members of
the reichstag were involved.
Won Cappelle said some of the
plotters had suffered a deserved
penalty"
1T is unfortunately a sad fact"
the minister of marine asserted,
that the Russian revolution has
turned the heads of some persons
In our navy, intoxicating revolu-
tionary ideas, and in the insensate
plan to nominate Representatives
on all ships who would cause the
powers to disobey orders and par
alyze our fleet, thus forcing peace.
"The principal agitators con-
ferred with independent reichstag
members, including Members
Deltman, Haase and Voughter, in
obtaining their APPROVAL.
II cannot reveal subsequent
events in the navy. Rumors now
in circulation are immeasurably
exaggerated. The combative force
of the navy was not threatened for
a single moment"

Mayor

Mayor Fawcett was the butt OF
two vigorous complaints during
Wednesdays session of the city
council.
A committee of mothers from
the Parent Teacher association
appeared before the commission
ers and demanded that the city
health department, under Faw-
cett's control, be made more eff
cient.
A delegation from the Central
Labor council complained that
dealers in foodstuffs, fuel and
other commodities were giving
short weight and insisted that
the weights ad measures inspec-
ton work of the city, also in the
mayors department, be placed on
a more efficient basis.
Mrs. Victor II. Miller, second
vice president of the city Parent
Teacher association, was spokes-
man for the women.
She declared that the health
department was unable to cope
with the epidemics of children &
diseases, and insisted that more
money be spent for health protec-
ton.
But physicians few years
ago told us that these chill
dren's diseases were "a benefit
to the children" protested
Fawcett.
"Why not spread the dis
eases among the children,

This set all the women talking
at once.
Before they left, the mothers
extracted q promise from Mayor
Fawcett that he would increase
his health department budget
for 1918 by $4,000 over the
1917 expenses, II money could be
found for 1t.

'PERSHING WANTS
THINKING MEN
American Commander Says
Soldiers Should Not Be
Automatic

Paris, Aug. S.-Major General
Pershing. commander of the Amer
lean expedition in France, told the
Associated Press to-day it was
highly essential that the men in
Americas conscript army should be
in excellent physical condition we'll
disciplined and capable of individual
action He added that the army
organization must be built from
the bottom up, each man and Off
Ger \devoting all his energies to the
work. The General said:
Our men must be in good ply
sical condition, keeping their morals
clean and thereby capable of meet
ing the trying conditions of modern
warfare. The men must learn to
obey orders promptly, implicitly and
willingly, but not necessarily auto
matically
II object to the word automatic,
because we do not want a machine
made organization, but an army of
thinking men, men with individual
ity, men fully capable and ready to
assume command of units should
their officers be killed or incapaci-
tated, as sometimes happens in
trench warfare.
THE men must be made to real
ize that war is not sport or play
but serious work, demanding the ut
most energy and attention to in
sure success"
General Pershing likened army
organization to football team In
which each man is trained to ply
sical perfection under strict disci-
pline, but is capable of brilliant in
dividual action in a crisis. He ad-
ded: I'VE want our men, trained
the same way"
The General was optimistic and
confident that Americas army
would give an excellent account oi
itself and would come up to the ex.
pectations of the other Entente AL
lies, despite the tremendous amount
of work necessary before active
American participation in trench
warfare was possible.
