PERSHING PREPARES
BASE FOR ,AMEHICA
e. S. Troops Will Be Fighting on West
Front, Near Historic st. Quentin,
by Next Fall.

WASHINGTON, June zo.-The War De-
partment has received complete re-
ports from Major General John j..
Pershing on what has been accom-
plished in preparation for American
regulars in France.
The American generals three weeks
of labor have borne fruit to an almost
unbelievable degree 1t became known
today that the department has been
informed a great base camp for the
Americans already is ready and wait
ing and every detail for their recep-
ton and transportation to the front
has been worked out.
General Pershing has been working
from 9 o'clock in the morning to all
hours of the night and has been in
almost constant communication with
Marshal Joffre.-
West Front.
The American base will be south or
St. Quentin, historic in the war on the
western front. A section of the line
in that neighborhood will be turned
over to Pershing as soon as he has
sufficient first line troops and re-
serves to hold it.
On the basis of these reports the
War Department was doing its might
lest today to make the forces necessa-
ry available at the earliest possible
moment.
In connection with the Navy De-
partment and shipping board a great
transport system is being organized
whereby entire fleets of merchantmen
will be turned over to the War De-
partment for one voyage at time,
MANY of them are German vessels
seized at American ports upon the
declaration of war They are fast and
nave large pdSSuSVl
No Interference.
It is felt that their withdrawal from
the cargo carrying trade for one voy-
age every tso months or so will not
Interfere with the shipment of plen-
tiful supplies to the allies. \
The department plans to supply men
to go on these transports are Wet
along. This movement is expected to
be completed by September.
This will mean about 375,0e0 Amer
ican troops, all trained men or al
least a we'll balanced force of trained
men and recruits, before winter. In
the spring the great overseas move
ment of draft forces will be ready to
begin if necessary.

law the blame on the linotype operator

often the result Of the reporters rush

with thousands. Of men there were
few, of course, and these only the aged
and wounded; the others are at the
front. The realization that these new
comers are shortly to fight side by
side with the men of this port who
are already in the thick of battle,
drove the women frantic with JOY and
gratitude.
The American troops answered the
cheers by throwing small silver coins
ashore. A roaring scramble among
the street urchins followed. They
didn't spend the coins for candy. They
wrapped them UP carefully in their
ragged handkerchiefs to save them
as sacred souvenirs.
The Decentralization passed off in
the most orderly manner. There Was
not the slightest hitch. Ship after
ship slipped into her berth, discharg-
ed men and equipment. Confusion
seemed an unknown quantity to these
khaki clad youths and their officers.
\From the piers the American troops
swung off through the streets Of this
port. where the whole populace had
turned out to give them tremendous
ovation. The crowds showered fow-
ers, fruits, cigarettes and dainties
upon the marchers.
Triamphal March.
"Vive lAmerique!" was an unend-
ing cry. and as proof that but one
confident thought was in the hearts
OF these cheering thousands, this shout
was repeated over and over again.
you'll chase the Germans out of
our country!~
1--WE WILL came the thunderous
chorus from the Americans.
Their rec ption and progress
through the city were one great tri-
umphal march. The French onlook-
ers remarked time and again upon
the youth and physique of the Amer
leans.
For France this was the proudest
and the happiest day since the
Marne.

The roundup netted just $500 in fines.

The secretary of state slipped out
of Bismarck on No. yesterday morn
ing without advising anyone of his
destination. His Office deputy knew
only that the secretary was bound for

though technically defendant in SUI

Judge Spalding on behalf of Olger B.
Burtness, Halls actual presence was
not required yesterday b. , i -
1t is understood that the Grand

Ped River valley towns. The arrest
and fine does not relieve car owner
from the necessity of purchasing a
tag, and the procedure proves rather
expensive for the slackers.
