IStdf Correspondence |

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Regula-
tions for the guarding of the Chelsea
and the Southern Pacific piers, covering
total of about fifteen blocks, not in
cluding the market space between them
were sent by General Carter, head of
the Bureau of Militia Affairs, to Cen
eral Hoyle, commanding the Depart
ment of the East, to-day.
General Carter said this would re-
quire the services of about two COM
panies of soldiers.
"The remainder of New York's water
'front.'" said General Carter, "will be
guarded by soldiers, when we deter
mine just what points need such guard
ing, IN addition TO the protection which
the local forces afford. 4 would like
to say right here that | was delighted
at the spirit OF cooperation and gem
uine patriotism displayed by the New
York City authorities in the conference
yesterday"
No satisfactory explanation has yet
been obtained as TO the positive state
ment issued Saturday night that, be-
ginning at midnight Sunday, regulars
would guard the entire water front of
greater New York.
where did yod fellows get all that
misinformation o. demanded General
Carter to-day. when he was asked why
the plan had not been carried out.
at was all in statement issued by
the committee on information he was
told.
General Hoyle will proceed with the
guarding of important piers as rapidly
as possible" continued General Carter,
"but we do not wish to hurry too mucS
because we do not want to interfere
with traffic"
as that the reason you are proceed
ing slowly?" he was asked.
81 didn't say VIC were proceeding
slowly" he retorted. 81 said that was
the reason we were not hurrying any
faster"
As soon as the new organization Of
home guards is completed, this force
will take up the work Of guarding the
piers, and relieve what regular soldiers
have been assigned. in the meantime,
to this duty. Federal soldiers are
already guarding certain piers in New
York and elsewhere, in addition to
those ordered to be guarded to-day.

Mr.. Foy said there were practical ly
no fresh turkeys on the market, Will
fully 1900 buyers, many Of them from
New England towns and other places,

that did appear.
"Prices on fresh iced turkeys ran ur
to 81 and 3S cents a pound on an
average grade, while the fancy dry

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 26.-The French War
Cross has been conferred on the
fifteen American officers and men who
were cited with their company by the
French general commanding the sector
in which the Americans were stationed
at the time of the first German raid
en- the night of November 2-3.
The men were decorated to-day and
were informed that they must keep the
medals in their possession, but must
not wear them until Congress gives its
authorization.
The ceremony was all impressive
one. An American major general pre-
sented the decorations and citations,
giving the regimental colonel those for
the men who were killed. They will
be sent to their next of kin.
The French general, in referring to
the action of this American company,
said:
"On the night of November 2-3 this
company, which was in the line for the
first time, met an extremely violent
bombardment, despite which it seized
arms and offered such stubborn re-

Democrats Move for
Non-Partisan Drive

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Plans for non
partisan campaigns wherever necessary
to quiet any anti-war political upris-
ings were discussed to-day by Demo-
cratic national committeeman and state
chairmen from twelve Mid-Western
states.
Fred B. Lynch, National Committee
man from Minnesota, was elected chair
man Of the conference. He declared a
non-partisan combination was an i'm
mediate necessity in Congressional dis
tricts and states where there was any
real danger of an anti-American and
Socialist combination that might result
in the defeat of the Administration and
its war policies in 1918.
Wisconsin, with its immediate situa-
tion caused by the death of Senator
Husting and the activity of Senator La
Toilette, was the centre OF the discus
sion. but those in the conference We're
concerned also about other states. llli-
nois has some counties that have failed
TO get behind the war, it was charged,
and in Minnesota and the Dakotas the
so-called farmers movement" has
made an impression politically.

sitions on which the British secured
a hold yesterday, have died down. This
is regarded as favorable to the British,
which gives an indication Of their con-
dition, when an unchanged situation IS
considered satisfactory.
Berlin has rather more to say about
the lighting on this front, announcing
the complete repulse of obstinate Bit
ish attacks on lncny.
"0ur destructive fire beat upon the
assemblies of enemy troops and also
on the preparation OF numerous tanks
TO attack south of Graincourt," it says.
The German official statement also
announces the repulse Of minor infan-
try forces against Bourbon and the
clearing out Of English NESTS" remain
ing behind the German lines in Bour-
lon. resulting in the capture of 800
uen and eight officers and twenty ma
chine guns.
Southwest OF Bourbon Wood and Yves
o. FoGts:ne the Germans claim they
have advanced their lines as the result
OF violent hand grenade encounters.
North of Banteux and east of Gricourt
two other English attacks are reported
by Berlin to nave failed.
Regarding the successful French at
tacks which yesterday supplemented
the English drive and resulted in the
capture Of many prisoners, Berlin
merely announces:
"Many assaults on a two-and-a-h half
mile front between Samogneux and
Beaumont collapsed in our defence
zone," which is another way OF saying
the French gained some ground. Pc
tain gained his detectives in this drive.
and to-day made no effort to increase
his gains.
General Petain's troops are maintain
ing activity along their whole line from
st. Quentin. which is southeast Of Cam
brai. to Asace. The artillery fire is al
most continuous, and the Germans are
plainly at a high nervous tension, fear
ing renewed heavy offensive at al
most any point. These tactics are OBJ
vously for the purpose of preventing
the Germans from withdrawing troops
from this front TO bolster the battle
line being hammered by General Byng.

other government has been organized
by Socialists somewhere near the capi-

from Ambassador Francis at Petrograd

1t is assumed here that the wireless
communication relates 10 the proffered

government are discussing the Max

British General in the Lead

Further or a British general and his
staff, all finely mounted, were canter-
ing forward.
The artillery horses were especially
marked for their sleek, well-fed condl-
ton. and the observers noted how all
the brasswork Of the guns and equip
ment yiinted with the thorough care
il had had. One engineer corps was
rumbling TO the rear with huge pom
toons on camions, as it had been found
these were not needed, but all the rest
of the force was moving forward
The men looked hard as nails, de-
spite their steady marches. Both Off
GERS and men were eager to hear how
the fight was going and were anxious
to get forward:
Talks with these men along the road
gave an idea of what they had been
doing. They had been marching stead
ily for several days. The start was
made every day at "A. m. with an
early breakfast, and with rations sub
seouently served at IL a. m. and
o'clock in the afternoon. Along the
route their headquarters were in viii
lage schools. houses, barns and public
buildings.
The men carried loads Of about sew
enty pounds. including rifles, blankets.
kits and the days rations. This looked
like a heavy load, as the long ranks
ranged along he roads, but the men
did not mind il, although they said the
long marches had been hard on the
feet.

On the March Eight Days

II was a dark day, with a gray sky,
but the whole scene seemed TO tighten
up as the color Of the Italian gray was
tinted everywhere with British khaki
and French blue. They had been on the
march eight days, making more than
fifteen miles day.
The French reinforcements were first
seen in force. They were splendid look
ing young men. One of their officers
with whom the correspondent talked,
and who had stripes on his sleeve
earned by gallantry, said they had just
arrived after hard forced march, with
others following.
Soon these others came in view, and
for two miles the party passed through
endless lines of French. There were
squadrons of cavalry in the road and
in the nearby fields, and long lines
of troops with artillery trains and sup
plies. Field kitchens had been set up at
one point, and the midday meal was
being served. The men looked in the
best of condition, and did not show a
trace of fatigue from their long march,
Just beyond here the color turned
from blue to khaki as long lines Of
the British came into sight. In the
lead were cyclists, and then came
engineer trans. Following were long
ranks OF infantry. cavalry and artillery.
At one point headquarters had been
temporarily established along the road,
and guards were at the gate as the Off
GERS went aid came.
