For ten weeks crowds Of
people have been streaming to
the upper end OF New York
City to hear Billy Sunday. The
campaign just closed 10 not

campaign, but the BIGGEST

Secretary Baker wrote the follow
ing letter to Secretary Daniels convey
ing the army's thanks to the navy:
Word has just come to the War
Department that the last ships convey
ing General Pershing's eXpeditionary
force to France arrived safe today. AS
you know, the navy assumed the re-
sponsibility for the safety of these
ships on the sea and through the dan
ger zone. The ships themselves and
their conveys were in the hands of the
navy, and now that they have arrived,
and carried, without the loss of man,
our soldiers who are the first to rep
resent America in the battle of demo-
cracy, l beg leave to tender to you, to
the admiral, and to the navy, the
hearty thanks of the War Department
and of the army. This splendid
is an auspicious begin
ming and it has been characteristic
throughout by the most cordial and eff
fective cooperation between the two
services"

French Front in France.-After
their strongest offensive effort since
Verdun the Germans were thrown
back everywhere along an 11-mlle
front on the hemin-des-Dames, leav-
ing the ground thickly strewn with
their dead and having failed to take
even one French soldier prisoner.
Not Single Yard Lost.
The French lines remained intact
and the French commanding general,
who watched the operations through
out from the front trenches, was able
to declare that not single yard OF
territory had been lost.
The German infantry appeared to
have all the dash taken out of them
by the French defense and made no
attempt to regain, the ground lost by
the French reactions.
Cannon Roar On Whole Front.
The official communication issued
by the War Office reads:
There was artillery activity north
of the Aisne, in the region of the
Hurtebise Monument and the northern
part of the Bois de Beau Marais, in
Champagne, in the region of Mont
