PERSHING IN A MANSION.
L. 8. Commander Quits Hotel for
Headquarters.

PARIS. June 2s--Maj jor-Cien. John J.
Pershing, the American commander has
left the hotel In which he has been stay
ing since his arrival In Paris to make
his home in n fine old residence In the
Rue de varenne. 80 as to be near his
headquarters. The house. which has q
magnificent garden. formerly belonged
TO Prince Gortschakoff. 1t was leased
before the war by Ogden Mills OF New
York. who placed 1t at the disposal OF
Gen. Pershing.
The American commander was asked
to-day to comment on the article enti-
tied why We Are Fighting" published
yesterday In the army bulletin. In which
Gen. Petain. the French Commander in
Chief. explained the objects OF the war
and why n premature peace must not be
concluded. Gen. Pershing said:
"I have read Gen. Petain's article with
deepest interest. His answer to the
question is complete and logical. The
facts set forth should convince the world
OF the justice OF our great cause. l can
not think It possible that any one should
hold a different view Of why we are In
the war II Is quite beyond reason that
any one knowing the truth should fail
to condemn the course pursued by the
German Government. and the truth has
tinguished commander In chief OF the
French army.
There must be no peace except a
lasting peace. The ideals for which the
Allies are contending must he held
sacred France will continue her splen-
did fight for human rights and human
liberties, and fresh examples of heroism
by her valiant armies will still further
inspire those fighting by her side"

'U-BOAT HAS DEVICE
TO CUT STEEL NETS
Skipper of Torpsdoed Craft
CiUes Sketch to u. 8. Navy.


BASE OF THE AMERICAN FLoTILLA IN
BRIrIsH WArras, June 2s.--The captain
Of a torpedoed merchantmsn has turned
over to the naval authorities here a
sketch Of new type OF German sub
marine equipped with wire cutting de-
vice designed to release 1t from nets.
The sketch shows several strands OF
stout steel hawsers stretched from the
bow through the coming tower to the
stern. Attached to these Is series OF
heavy circular knives a foot In diameter
and placed about q yard apart.
The captain made the drawing while
In a small boat after his ship had been
torpedoed. He had been shelled and tor
pedoed In two other ships. but on neither
OF those occasions had he noticed any
thing new in the type Of the German
diving boats. While he was not close
enough to the last submarine to examine
minutely the addition to its upper works
he was able to see plainly enough to
make good sketch.
The theory OF the captain is that a
boat so equipped would have hope of
being able to cut its way through any
steel nets in which It might become en-
meshed

The newspaper continues: "our unpre-

the same evil source; a political sys-
tenn which places men In power for
reasons other than their fitness, and
even maintains them after they have
proved grossly incompetent.
An Interesting discussion from which
Americans might CLEAN some advice WAS
overheard by the correspondent Of THE
Sun between men n high Official posi-
tions. They agreed that the continu-
snce OF the Mesopotamian muddle was
due in no small measure to the muzZling g
of the British press and the sagging Of
members OF Parliament.
All the London newspapers received
scores Of letters from soldiers, but were
not allowed to publish even editorial
comment on the conduct of the Meso-
potamian campaign, a matter which
vitality affected so many thousand Brit
ish homes. One member Of the House
OF Commons repeatedly attempted TO
bring the details to the attention OF
the House. but met with rebuffs at
every turn. 1t Is the Arm belief OF
many that II the actual conditions had
been made known there would have been

MORE U.B0AT CHASERs ASKED
Several Handred Additional Graf,
Planned by Navy Men.

wAsHINoroN. June 2s.-Naval au-
thoritiss are discussing the need for the
construction for several hundred addi-
tional submarine chasers, partly to
guard against possible delay in the ships
Of this type contracted for. and partly
to continue this type OF much needed
naval construction on a buslnesslike
and progressive basis.
There Is divergence of opinion as to
whether the next batch should consist
of some Ave hundred 1lo foot type or a
smaller number OF 100 foot vessels. II
Is hoped to have these vessels ready for
work on the hull before the end Of the
year. so that as work on the hulls of
vessels now under construction Is fin-
ished the new work can be begun with
out delay.

Strategic Campaign to Be

Are Acclimated.

WAsHINoToN June 2S.--Complete re-
ports nom Major-Gen. John J. Pershing
upon the landing Of his frst expedition
in France still we're lacking tonight and
the War Department remained silent.
The delay may be accounted for by the
report that until to-day Gen. Pershing
did not personally visit the American en-
campment.
At the Navy Department reports are
awaited from the commander OF the con-
voy that accomplished without marring
Incident. so far as known. one Of the
grea test tasks ever assigned a naval
force.
There was much discussion to-day as
to when the American forces will take
over a part OF the great battle line In
France. Whatever plans have been
made In this regard are closely guarded.
No official OF any branch Of the Gov.
ernmeut would admit having any knowi-
edge on the subject.
In general way. however,. il In known
that considerable period must elnpse
before the troops can be thrown for
ward into the trenches. Vast prob
lens OF strategic campaigns. of political
effects to be sought and Of supplies and
lines OF communica tions must be worked
out. The men. fresh from the tropics
or from the Mexican border. must be
carefully acclimated to prevent sickness.
Purpose Was Sentimental.
Admittedly. the main purpose Of send
ing the force in the brief period that was
allowed to make ready and get them
across. was political. II Is understood
to have been the sentimental rather than
practical arguments advanced by mem
bers Of the French and British missions
which Influenced the Washington Gov
ernment in despatching Gen. Pershing
and his men.
The great need OF the moment as ex-
planned by Marshal Joffre and his Brit
ish associates. was to send a force with
the American nag at once 10 show the
people of France, straining under the
great burden Of war, that a friend was
at hand.
There will be no letup TO the effort to
keep the force now in France fully sup
piled with everything an army needs
When other divisions may be sent has
not been announced. but the work OF
making them ready Is going on day and
night in every section OF the country.

CONFERENCE IS
EARLY THIS YEAR
MUCH INTEREST IN LOCAL CIR
Giles OVER THE APPROACH
ING ALBANY MEETING.

For the first time in twenty-odd
years, if not in its history, the South
Georgia conference of the Methodist
church will meet earlier this year,
the session starting November IA and
lasting about six days.
The conference will hold its ses-
sion is Albany and that enterprising
city is making every preparation pos
sible to give the visitors royal enter,
tainment
The change in the date of meeting
will permit the various ministers tC
return to their stations and be there
for Thanksgiving day, something they
have always missed heretofore, as the
conference has always been in SEES
sion on that date. This has always
prevented ministers of the Methodist
church from conducting Thanksgiving
services at their home stations.
The coming session of the confer
ence will be very important one to
of the charges in the conference.
Quite number of the leading min
listers are completing their four-year
terms and will have to move, under
the rules of the conference. How
ever, this number for moving this
year, from this particular cause, is
not as great as for the last confer
ence. But for other reasons there
will be the necessity of making many
changes.
The conference will also have an
important task on it's hands select
ing delegates for the general confer
ence These delegates are selected
from among the ministers as well as
from the laiety. Rev. Bascom An
thony, of the First Methodist church
Of this city was one of the delegates
to the last general conference, and
his term has also expired.
