Some years ago young woman

and with him took up her abode
in the Lone Star state. They
lived near another a young mar

A few days ago its mother
placed the baby on quilt in the
backyard where she was doing

OUR REGULARS IN FRANCE.

The arrival of American reg
ulars in France was officially an
nornced Yesterday on receipt OF
q cable reporting the landing of
"second contingent of Amer
lean troops" at a French seaport,
The first contingent, one gathers,
was landed on the preceding day.
Washington let's it be known that
these troops are units of the reg
gular division selected for service
under General Pershing.
Little more than month ago
Ion the night of May Is, to be
exact-the President published
his decision to send division Of
regulars to France, under COM
mand of General Pershing, at the
earliest practicable moment. On
june 8 the arrival of General
Pershing and staff in England
was announced. The landing of
fighting contingents in France
follows so swiftly as to surprise
many Americans-and most Ger
mans. Possibly the plans ha,l>
been perfected and the units to
compose the division chosen in
advance of the formal announce
ment of May Is. But even so,
the movement has been conduct
ID with a celebrity that must i'm

the fact that the troop-shipsd

. the protective measure en-
ployed.
A single division. it is true,
counts for little as fighting unit
when one considers the millions
Of fighting men massed behind
the western fronts. But the
twenty-five or thirty thousand ef-
fectives-regulars and marines to
cether-composing the first Amer
lean expedition should be able to
hold securely several miles Of ta'
fighting line when they complet'
fheir final training. And the Ger
mans who have learned by BIZ
ter experience the fighting quail
ties Of tn Canadians, will scarce
" be deceived by their officers
into understanding the qualities
Of these picked American troops.
