ARMY ENGINEERS
BARRACKS UNDER
FIRE OF AIR M E N
Sammies Take Refuge in
Dugout and Play Poker
While Shells Fall on Their
Quarters.
BY j. w. PEGLER.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
American Headquarters, France,
Sept. 27.-American army engineers
sleeping in their barracks, have been
under fire from German airmen.
Not an American was hurt despite
fusillade of machine gun fire from
the air which riddled the barracks
roof and walls.
The Sammies took refuge In dug
outs. There they sat about in groups
some in pajamas and others just
plain naked-and contentedly played
poker by candle light until the raid
ers were dispersed.
(This is the first time that the bar
racks of an American army contin-
gent have been the object of a German
aerial attack.)
HARDENED TO FIRE.
Details of the attack, including the
date and time cannot be given.
The barracks attack was not the
first time the members of the engineer
contingent have been under fire.
AS matter of fact they are getting
shelled. This is especially true OF the
railroad pioneers regiment. Enemy
aviators have repeatedly attempted to
bomb nocturnal trains under charge
of American transporting supplies to
French sectors.
UNMiNDFUL OF SHELLS.
Some of the Americans are also well
acquainted with big shell fire. I en-
countered three engineers-two Chi
cagoans and a Milwaukee resident, all
graduates of Marquette university,
Milwaukee. waiting in certain la :
nous French citadel while the French
unloaded their trains. They were to
take it back to the American center.
Wide eyed and boyishly interested
the Americans were sauntering amid
the crumpled and blasted masonry, en-
tirely obliyious to high explosive shells
which banged at random among the
ruins.

Nov Bulgaria has attained those
ends for which she entered the war.
She is ready for peace-according to
no less authority than Prime Minister
Radoslavoff. and wants nothing but

central powers-in fact, a few years
before had been at war with Turkey.
As the price of entering the war she
asked restoration of former territory
which, by President Wilson's own
statement of national boundaries
rightfully belongs to her.
Bulgaria would have preferred to
join the allies. But they offered res
toration of her territory providing Ser

other territory-presuma wrested
from Austria Hungary or Turkey. Our
prime minister even stated to the allies
that within "a hours of the acceptance
of Bulgaria's terms, our army would

Paris a Seaport
Following the War

Paris, July 25.-(By MaiD-Paris as
one of the worlds great seaports of
the future is today more than an idle
dream. Ever since the 18th century
the idea of a seaport Paris has been
occasionally discussed by learned
Frenehmen and approved as highly ad-
visable. But it has taken the big war to
develop the plan so that today it is a
potent possibility. The war has demand
ed the absolute necessity of providing
Paris with navigable waterway direct
to the sea, so that ocean going ships
might bring their eargoes into dock at
the French metropolis.
The "Paris Seaport" scheme has
been handed down from generation to
generation, with additions and modifi-
cations ON paper. Then came the great
floods of 1910 when whole quarters of
Paris were inundated and traffic was
suspended for days. 1t was then defin-
itely decided that canal system must
be built to relieve the main stream in
case of new floods and the idea of
widening and deepening the Seine was
also considered
Today the Prefect of the Seine has
issued circulars to tine municipal auth
critics, outlining a definite and new
scheme for rendering the Seine navi-
gable for big shipping from Paris to
Rouen and proposing that port be
built at Gennevihers, outside of Paris,
with easy access to the capitol.

Foundation Laid
For New Trade Treaty
With the New Russia

Washington, Aug. 16.-Russia has in
formed the state department she is
ready to abolish restrictions ON exports
to the United States.
The communication, apparently will
lay the foundation for a new trade
treaty between the two governments.
1t involves abrogation of the 1915
Russo-American agreement whereby the
United States recognizes as measure
of military necessity the Russian res
friction against re-exporting Russian
goods to. Germany after they arrived
here.
The new treaty to replace that of
1887, abrogated by President Taft in
1912, win probably be undertaken after
the Russian constitutional assembly de-
cides upon the permanent form of gov
ernment for the Slavs.
"Russia is Rager to cooperate with
America not only in military but in
.an economic and financial way,' the
Rusisan embassy said today, apprOpos
of the new arrangements.
