KAISER PRESS BECLOUDS
READERS ON u. S. LANDING
Especial Cablegram to The Sunday Star
and New York Times.l

THE HAGUE, July Apparently the
German newspapers think it necessary
to refer to the landing Of American
troops in France in order to counteract
the effect of possible unplea SAINT sur
prise later, but they do SO in manner
to make the public believe it is still a
question whether the troops have really
arrived.
The weser Zeitung has the headline.
How Many American Troops Are in
FranceT and then says:
THE reports from France about the
complete landing Of American troops
sounds plausible. The statement of
their number seems exaggerated. ANY,
how. we learn that the field equipment
Of these troops is completely lacking.
The taking part Of these troops in the
Fourth OF July celebration denotes the
whole reason of the undertaking.
That a second division from Amer
lea is now on Its way to Europe Is
hardly possible. as there are not trans
ports enough for these soldiers, unless
they are to be fed and shipped as emf
grants"

In addition to setting on foot plans
for the election. the federation passed
a resolution calling upon the Commits
sioners to detail sufficient men to at
least two firs:souses in the District to
try out the merits of the proposed
two-platoon or two-shift system. A
general resolution favoring this sys-
tenn will be considered later
The federation also called upon the
delegates to request the individual
associations to encourage enlistment in
the regular army. 1t was suggested
that the associations take steps to
placard their respective sections and
send speakers to meetings OF every
sort in the various neighborhoods to
keep the appeal constantly before the
people.

PERSH|NG'S men EAGER

Enter on Final Mobilization Steps
Previous to Training Period

By the Associated Press.
A FRENCH SEAPORT. July THE
American troops today entered on the
final steps of the mobilization that
will prepare them to leave within a
few days for a permanent training
camp somewhere behind the firing line.
The unloading of supplies is almost
finished and rolling stock Is being con-
centrated here preparatory to the de-
parture of the troops
The days have been used probably
for a double purpose. The more i'm
portant one was to put the majority of
the soldiers through a vigorous grind
of eight full hours each day. French
officers who had seen service at the
front took part in these exercises in
order to give the benefit of their ex-
perience to the American soldiers. The
drills included daily plunge I'M the
sea. this phase Off the sanitation prob
lem being made easy by the proximity
of the camp to the ocean.
Another advantage taken of the time
spent here was to employ smaller groups
Of the more seasoned troopers to put the
final touches on the camp SO it will be in
first-class shape. The camp in the last
few days has been expanded enormously
until today it extends for miles and can
accommodate a large number Of men.
Water has been piped from the town
and the system Is equipped with every
modern device.

Advantage Of Drill Ground.

The drill ground is not only ideal for
the purpose, but las the advantage Of
being at distance so that the men get
a daily hike Of five miles.
For the men arriving at this and SINH
lar mobilization bases the American sys-
tenn Of living in tents or wooden shacks
will be followed. but when they arrive at
q permanent camp they will be billeted
among the townspeople and live in houses
Few II any Of the soldiers know just
where they are to be sent. but all are
enthusiastic at the prospect of getting
nearer the scene of action. Their spir-
its are fine and their health is of the
best. with the exception of a few cases
Of mumps. The men have swamped
the officers of their companies with a.
deluge OF letters that must pass
through a censorship.
This morning a military funeral was
held for the only man that died since
the American troops arrived here. He
was Boatswain's Mate ]. J. Dunn, who
was drowned when he fell overheard
from a launch and was carried under
before his comrades could reach him.

A Ridiculous Rumor.

1t has been rumored about town
that the proposed paper mill that was
to have secured the Charley creek
water rights from the city was a pure
fake. That this water was being Sc,
cured for the purpose of giving it to
the South Aberdeen mills so they
could supply those plants with water
without paying rental to the city.
Aside from the fact that this paper
mill project is now being worked out.
and that its location in Aberdeen is
reasonably sure. it is strange that
such a rumor should obtain credence
with anybody possessing ordinary in
telligence. Ii is we'll known to all
who care to know that the city attor-
ney advised the council that this
water could not be sold except for
a specific purpose. and that this pur-
pose was plainly expressed in the
agreement made by the city with the
paper company.
Another fact that should how the

ABOUT YOUR RUGS
A Short History of Their Early
Origins and Kinds.
RAG ONES ARE AMERICAN.

p Woro ABOUT the ! ~o MetnooS Wnicn
Give Woven and Tufted Carpetings.
Before You Buy Prime Yourself
About tho Different Kinds.
Most rugs are made according to one
Of two methods. which gives us woven
and tufted carpetings. The latter is
distinctly oriental and is made upon
foundation warp composed of hemp
en-, wooden or silk threads. The num-
Der of these threads depends upon the
breadth Of the rug and its desired fine
ness or coarseness. Lengths Of col
ored wool or the hair Of camel or
goat or silken threads are knotted on
to the warp threads, with the two ends
of the individual twists standing up.
What is called welt thread is then
run across the warp and another line
Of tufts made. The whole is brought
securely together by means Of a hand
instrument. the ends of the tufts clip
ped to an equal length by expert fin.
gers, and thus tufted rug is completed.
Writing in 1862. Pierre Dupont,
master carpet maker of Paris, said he
was convinced that rug weaving was
taught to the French by the Saracens
after the latter had suffered defeat at
the hands Of Charles Martel in 726.
The middle ages found the art -four
ishing all over Europe and especially in
France and Flanders. Colbert, minis
ter Of Louis XIV, who did so much to
OF h0 i,.th 90 {rIn NJ
tablished the Hotel DIES GObelins in
1867 as a state mandatory, and the
enterprise grew to he one Of the nota-
ble institutions of the realm.
In 1901 William III. Of England
granted royal charters to weavers in
Wilton and Administer, towns which
were to give their names to types Of
carpeting that have come down to the
present day. The fame of the Wilton
rug was largely due to Henry, earl of
Pembroke and Montgomery, who
brought two Frenchmen. Antoine Du-
fossy and Pierre female, to England
and put them in charge Of operations
at Wilton. Their skill and enterprise
won fame for the establishment in a
little while. Other French and Flemish
weavers followed, and the industry
was fairly launched.
The opening Of the nineteenth cen
fury saw much experimentation in the
effort to produce satisfactory ma
chine made carpeting. Erastus B. Bige-
low. an American. and William Wood,
an Englishman. perfected the jacquard
loom to point where 1t could be de-
pended upon to turn out uniform
product of good quality. The passing
years have witnessed further impor-
tant development, and results are now
accomplished by mechanical process
that will stand the test Of comparison
with the hand made article.
Not until 1880 did the French turn to
machinery for carpet weaving, and
they at first adopted English machin
cry to a great extent. So 1t was that
the art first crossed the channel and
then came back in different form
after the lapse of centuries.
In America we have produced at
least one kind Of floor covering which
we may claim as our own-the rag
rug. In colonial times rag rugs were
made in considerable numbers. and 1t
was deemed fine accomplishment for
Il woman. Much Ingenuity was shown
in the matching Of colOrs.
