Americans in France
Spend Real Thanksgiving

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 29.-Every American
soldier in France spent a real Amer
lean Thanksgiving to-day. He dined
on turkey and all that goes with it
until he could eat no more.
The feature of the day was a foot
ball game in which a team from the
engineers defeated a team from the
infantry. The game was watched
ny thousands of American troops
and French soldiers home from the
front on leave.
Virtually all instruction work and
drilling was suspended for the day
ana in some places the men were
permitted to stay out an hour later
tonight In nearly all camp messes
the men themselves supplemented
the dinner with boxes of cigars and
other luXuries.

Extensive Troop Movement
Accomplished by U. S.
Without Loss of a Man

Washington, Nov. S0.-Announce-
ment of the arrival in France of
the first National Guard units give
the first official notice that an eX-
tensive troop movement has been
accomplished despite hostile SUBJ
marines, shortage of troop and sup
ply ships, and other obstacles, but
without the loss of a man. Thou
sands of men have been moved TO
the seaboard from all parts of the
country, loaded on transports and
safely landed in France without any
general knowledge of the facts hav-
ing been disclosed TO the country at
large.
War Department officials were
gratitied at General Pershing's de-
cislon TO announce the arrival of the
National Guard forces, but permis-
sion to publish the designations of
the guard units now at the training
centers in France still is withheld
Unless General Pershing sees fit to
release the information there is no
present prospect of its publication.
1t can be stated, however, that
the brief dispatch of to-day covers
a large movement that has been in
progress for several weeks. The next
stage will be actual occupation of
front line trenches.

grouping of the old divisional organ
lzauon having been adhered to as
! closely as possible. The entire coun-
try. however, shares in the honor
of having its representative units
now at the front in the world war
Secretary Baker has announced
that as fast as men and ships are
ready they will be used to send
forces TO Join General Pershing. This
means guard divisions first to show
themselves fitted for transportation
to the training , mps in France will
be first to go. I appears possible
the regrouping OF National Army di-
visions. made necessary b. the use
OF drafted men to fill up depleted
National Guard divisions, will deter
mine the order of the First National
Army units to be sent over. In that
regrouping two National Army di-
visions We're formed, one represent
ing the whole eastern section of the
country and one equally representa-
tive of all middle states. All of the
far west is already in the National
Army division at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Washington.
If the same policy is followed with
relation to the National Army that
has been followed in connection with
the National Guard. it seems likely
these three divisions, other things
such as training and equipment be-
ing equal, would be the first of the
National Army men at the front as
it now has National Guardsmen.

preme Court to-day refused to allow
a petition filed by counsel for the
Republican nominees for county Of
fees requesting a writ of certiorari
to halt the recount of the vote in the
recent election the results of which

nominees in office.
To-day decision is rendered without
reference to an appeal taken by the
Republican organization following the
refusal of the lower court last We'd

the general question of the right of
