cooperation with various religious

campaign to equip every soldier and

The st Louis Globe-Democrat says:
that the killed Scotch Highlanders

Their coming. one week after the
first troops landed. was greeted almost
as warmly as the arrival of the troops

plete success of the undertaking.
Many of the American soldiers
crowded down to the wharf to greet the
last ships OF the expedition, and the
American vessels in the harDor which
had made up previous contingents OF
the force Joined In the welcome. The
late arrival of the supply ships was due
not only to later departure from Amer
lea, but to the fact that the vessels were
slower than those which had come be-
fore. The delay caused little anxiety
although 1t worked temporary incon-
yenience to the troops. who had been
waiting for materials to work with.
Tho arrival OF the supplies makes an
early getaway for permanent training
camps possible, for the troops will need
to wait only for their horses to get the

PARIS. July 3.-The American troops
now at a French port will begin going
to training camps for instruction behind
the lines by the end OF this week, II was
announced this morning. The first con-
tingent may start thence after the
Fourth Of July celebration in Paris.
A battalion OF American troops ar
rived in Paris this morning for the
parade. They were greeted by wildly en-
thusiastic crowds which packed the
streets through which they marched ito
Neuilly Barracks. where they are quar-
tered. The officers are being entertained
at the Military Club.
The contingent arrived at the Care
dOrleans at 7:40 O'Clock. having been
thirty-six hours on the way from tho
French port at which they debarked.
Headed by their own band, the soldiers,
carrying their rifles and field packs, fell
in and marched to the barracks, The
crowds waved American and French
flags AS the troops swung through the
streets French girls pinned bouquets and
American flags on the soldiers breasts.
Flowers were scattered along the route.
The band played Yankee Doodle"
Dixie" Marching Through Georgia"
and other American airs.
Several times groups of shop girls on
their way to work slipped through the
police lines and kissed the soldiers. to
their great embarrassment. Now and
then an American voice would be heard
calling out. Hello boys !" welcome to
Parish or Good luck"' When the
regimental colors were carried past the
men barred their heads. The Americans
were greatly surprised to see number
OF children kneel in the street as the flag
was carried by. They were orphans
from an institution In the neighborhood.
The soldierly bearing of the men i'm
pressed military observers. They were
lean and brown and the new field packs
gave them quite a different appearance
from British OF Continental soldiers.
