and crannies of the caves where they

ground over which was fought the
battle of the caverns revealed quite
a number of the enemy-but none Of
them had much fight left.

Physically in the Fight.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Secretary
Of War Baker declined to add any
further information to General Perish
ing's announcement Of the presence
Of American troops in the first line
trenches in France.
Baker was manifestly happy man,
however, at the realization that the
American army is now physically in
the fight.
Bakers last weekly war summary,
,, it will be recalled, intimated that the
American forces were about ready
for action. When other units OF the
Pershing expedition will be added is
matter of military secrecy.
1.-THE first American troops arrived
in France during the first week in
July-approximately four months aft
er President Wilson's request for
declaration of state of war against
Germany had been approved by con-
gress.
It is now a little less than three
months since the first American
contingent" began it's intensive train
ing for the fighting line.
Military rules forbid even specula-
ton as to the various units now
abroad, or as to their officers below
the rank of general. Military pru-
dence also dictates Withholding tho
exact number OF American soldiers
who have been transported across
the seas to wage Americas fight ito
make the world safe for democracy"
American sammies in France have
had the benefit of training under
both French and British veterans.
The men now in the trenches and
now serving guns side by side with
General Petain's poilus probably do
not feel unaccustomed to conditions
there. Every effort has been made
to make their preparation for the
actual fighting line as realistic as
possible. Trenches have been dug;
batteries have been constantly prac-
ticing-and all this under the in
struction of French and British SOL
diers who have been through the
mill"
France and America alike will

Cyclonic Finish.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-In a cy-
clonic finish, the Liberty loan campaign
is surprising all previous records and
promises even to exceed expectations
of billion dollar final day.
The latest official figures gave the
total reported to the federal reserve
banks at S2,75O,1O5,O0O, with official
estimates that at least one billion
dollars more unreported has been
subscribed.
The most gratifying phase of the
race down the home stretch today
was the large number of individual
subscribers Of small means.
Thirteen million five hundred thou
sand Liberty bond buttons have al
ready been distributed and banks are
clam oring for more. Allowing for
wastage this would indicate that the
ten million subscribers goal as well
as the $4,000, 900 subscription mark
would be reached by midnight to-
night.
Final results in the campaign will
not be known with absolute accuracy
until November /, 1t was stated at
the treasury.
Banks have until that date to for
ward their money to federal reserve
district headquarters.
Official totals by districts, revised
today are:
Boston, $3.50, 100000; New York ST.
175,00U.0O0; Philadelphia, S1O2,O26,O0O;
