Jefferson M. Levy
Quits Navy League
Supports Secretary Daniels in
Controversy Over Mare
Island Explosion

Former Representative Jefferson NJ.
Levy announced yesterday his resig-
nation from the Navy League Of the
United States because Of that organi-
zation's attitude toward Secretary
Daniels. About Colonel Robert NJ.
Ihompson's statement as to the Navy
Leagues assertions concerning the
Mare Island explosion. Mr.. Levy wrote !:
81 agree with Colonel Thompson in
so far as he states in the concluding
sentence OF his letter that there is
only one thing for US to DO. and that
is 10 support the Administration
whole-heartedly in the prosecution Of
the war.
IL interpret this TO mean that it is
the duty OF of every American not
only TO give earnest support to Presi-
dent Wilson, but also to the other
members of the Cabinet, including
Secretary Daniels, whose patriotic de-
votion, broad vision and untiring zeal
in strengthening and developing the
naval arm have become so incress-
ingly evident, as is evidenced by the
general appreciation of his successful
work in the Navy Department.
my conviction is that nothing
should be said or done now to cause
or promote an acrimonious discus
sion"

Spartanburg Plans
Big Reception for
New York Soldiers
Citizens Eagerly Await Ar
rival of Troops; Organ
Expected To-day
[StIr Correspondent

SPARTANBURG, S. C., Aug. 81
Business here practically was suspend
ed to-day while the city perfected plans
for the reception Of the New York
troops and speculated as to when they
would arrive. A report that Lieutenant
Colonel Henry 5. Sternoerger, chief
quartermaster, and twentv other mem
bers of the Headquarters Staff would
arrive at noon resulted in the hasty
organization of a reception committee
of prominent citizens to meet the train.
The officers, however, did not appear.
They are now expected tomorrow.
Major General Organ and $50 Off
GERS and men Of the 22d Engineers,
commanded by Colonel Cornelius Van
derbilt, are scheduled TO reach here at
8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Camp
Wadsworth is ready to receive the men,
but the officers will De forced to take
rooms in a hotel, their quarters at the
camp being incomplete.
Official Reception Planned
An official reception and banquet to-
morrow night, at which MaYor Floyd
will preside and which will be attended
by citizens of prominence, are the prin-
cipsl features of an entertainment
programme arranged for the New York
officers. All the camp welfare work
organizations are preparing 10 look
after the comfort of the enlisted men.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton will provide shower baths, and
women's church organizations are pre-
pairing cooling drinks and sandwiches
which will be awaiting the Guardsmen
when they arrive. Entertainments OF
various kinds are to assure the SOL
diers Of Spartanburg's appreciation OF
their coming and make them feel at
home.
After the rece ption the soldiers will
be given an opportunity to stretch
their legs on the threemile march to
Camp Wadsworth. A heavy rain to-
day has done much TO improve the con-
dition of the roads. but the march,
winding and uphill for the most part.
will provide a foretaste of the rigor-
Gus training period ahead.
A conspicuous feature Of Spartan
burg's reception programme Is the al
most entire absence of publicly dis
of Main Street dscloses only two
Stars and Stripes. There has been
no attempt to decorate either public
or private buildings. It is explained
that the city is waiting for flag Day
Meantime. the inspiration of the ma
tonal flag is denied the arriving SOL

DR.. C. A. Barbour, head of the Bap-
list Theological Seminary, OF Roches-

Troops Expected to En-
train for Spartanburg
Wednesday

The headquarters Of the 9th Di-
vision, United States Army-lately the
New York National Guard-were in
transit last night TO Spsrtanburg, 3
C., where the Guardsmer CT this city
and state will be trained In trench war e,

overseas.
In an extra Pullman which trailed a
train that left the Pennsylvania sta
ton at 4.57 o'clock in the afternoon
were Major General John +. O'Ryan'
commanding tho division; Brevet Brig
adler General Holmes Organ, purpose
fully toting an air rife reminiscent OF
his seventh birthday, just past, and
twenty-five larger staff officers:
Two officers were left behind in the
dismantled local headquarters in the
Municipal Building, whose job it is 10
handle the routine Of getting the Guard
off for the South. Major James /.
Loree, a trained railroad man, will have
charge of this work, and will have the
assistance of Major f. Olmsted
General Organ left too early to get
the new insignia prescribed for Ma
tional Guard officers, but Major Loree
is now wearing it. The L. S. on his
collar is at first glance identical with
that worn by officers of the regular
service, but closer scrutiny reveals .
tinv superimposed "N. g." There is
nothing to reveal what state he repre-
sents.
General Organ arrived at his office
early in the afternoon. While Holmes,
otherwise Bud Organ, enjoyed BUNK

father wound up the last of his New
York paper work Often he was inter-
rupted by telephone calls from friends
who offered their congra tulations and
best wishes-a more intimate series Of
"Goodby, good luck, God bless yous
than tho rush of events heretofore
had permitted.
News of the departure Of headquar-
tiers sent thrill through the regi-
ments assembled in the armories and
in camps around the city. Brigsdier
General James W. Lester, command
ing the I'd Brigade. at Van Cortlandt
Park, was known TO have received or
ders to hold his troops ready TO move
on short notice, and it was deduced
that another day or two would see the
men entraining.
However, It was announced at the
headquarters of the Department Of the
East, on Governors Island, that there
would be no troop movements south
before next Wednesday, at the earliest.
This is TO give the railroads a clear
track TO handle the holiday rush.

Vast Preparations Along
Pershing's Supply Line

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS IN FRANCE, Aug. 3o-A trip
along the American lines of com,
n.unicaton from the sea to field
headquarters reveals in striking man
ner the immense plans which have
been made TO serve and care for the
large army the United States hopes 10
have in France. In the making OF
these plans great reliance is being
placed for the time being upon the
French, whose ability and willingness
TO help the Americans seem to be
wholly inexhaustible.
For the present American army and
navy aviators who are in France are
studying in French schools. using
French machines of all types. Scores
Of these aviators are now taking this
instruction, and will soon join the
French flying service. Later they may
be transferred to the American army,
as they will form an experienced and
Self-reiant force for service when the
American troops take their place in
the line.
Many other American students who
are training with the French are being
instructed solely for service with the
French army. Already they have had
actual experience in flying, but army
aviators arc not brevetted until they
have flown total of twenty-five hours.
Naval aviators qualify after fifteen
hours of fight.
Three fiers have met death thus far
This is regarded as a remarkably light
percentage. The French have been de-
lighted with the aptness of their Amer

placing them that the troops may be
supplied in all directions and over q
wide front. Here again the French are
lending valuable aid, having turned
over 20 the Americans many of their
own field buildings. Some o. them are
complete with French STATS, carefully
trained French women clerks and
French laborers.
Efforts are now being made. in for

food importation and distribution can
not render the best service in charge OF
the clothing department, although such
makcshifts occasionally are necessary
as temporary arrangements. Medical
reserve bases from which field and base
hospitals will be supplied have been es-
tablshed, with complete stores, even to
comfortable rocking chairs for conva-
descent wounded men, which probably
will not be needed for long time.
The field bakery, which has been es-
tablished at some distance from the
present American camps. has been 50
placed as TO supply the army most ad'
vantageously when 1t grows to larger
proportions. This bakery supplies white
bread for all American troops, made
from American -four. The British
troops also receive white bread, but the

Bulgarians Take
French Trenches
Fighting on the Macedonian
Front Renewed, Despite
40 Degrees Temperature

LONDON, Aug. 3l.-Fighting on the
Macedonian front. which, despite the
intense heat, has been increasing for a
week, blazed out Wednesday evening in
violent engagements west Of tho Var
dar River, near the centre of the line,
and in the upland region west OF Mona
stir. In the Nardar sector. at Srkd dl
Legen, the Bulgarians had some sue
cess against the French. penetrating
the defending trenches by two strong
attacks and holding a little of their
gains against the vigorous French
counter attacks. West of Monastir. at
Dobropoyle, the Serbs broke into the
enemy lines in series OF raids and
brought back a number OF prisoners.
At the two extremes of the front,
around Monastir and in the Lake
Dorian area, which the British hold,
the bombardment on both sides has
gradually risen until it has reached a
pitch of great violence.
The meaning of this sudden renewal
of activity in the Balkans is not yet
clear. 1t may be a sporadic outbreak,
or il may herald fall campaign by
the Allies. reinforced by Nenizelos's
reorganized Greek army. Sarrail may
be exerting what pressure he can at
present to relieve the Russians and
Rumanians in Southwestern Moldavia,
but it seems still too early in the sea-
son for general operations. Until re-
Gently the thermometer has registered
about $40 degrees, making fighting on
a large scale impossible. The Bulga-
rian attacks in the Vardar Valley,
which were still under way at last re-
ports, indicate that the enemy means
TO anticipate any advance which Sar-
rail may have in mind by extending
and strengthening his defensive zone.

Artillery Action Along the
Whole Line Increases, but
Infantry Is Held Back
Heavy Fire at Verdun
Berlin Announces St. Quentin
Again Taken, Despite
French Guns

LONDON. Aug. 31.-Action on the
west front last night and to-day was
almost entirely confined to the oppos-
ing artilleries, as the continued I'M
settled weather prevented anything
except minor operations by the IN
fantry. The chief clashes took place
in the Ypres salient, where Berlin re-
ports violent artillery fire and nu-
merous local encounters toward even

Apparently the British were on the
aggressive north of the city while to
the southeast, at ArleuX -Gohelle,
German raid, preceded through the
night by vigorous battery preparation,
was completely checked in the carly
morning hours. Berlin announces that
part of the recent British gains on the
Malakoff and Cologne farms, south
west Of Cambria. were reconquered by
detachments of German riflemen.
On the fronts held by the French
there were no infantry engagements
of any kind, except for German at
tack on tire Observation-Disclosures, IN
Alsace, which was smoothered under
the defensive fire. At Verdun, how
ever, the cannonade has reached pitch
quite as violent as that which pre-
pared the recent French offensive.
Berlin declares that the destructive
fire on both banks of the Mouse has
been most powerful, but that up 10 the
present no attacks have developed.
That the Germans themselves may be
planning to attack is indicated by Paris
reports that the bombardment is par
ticularly intense to the north OF Hill

lost, and almost certainly will under

The cannonade has also been lively

cally ceased. Berlin announces that
