CAMP MEADE FILLS
WITH FIRST MEN.
CALLED BY NATION
CBy . star corr..ponsent1

CAMP MEADE, Nd, Sept. 2O.-Train
after train Is bringing in more men
to be fitted at once into the Seventy
ninth division OF the National Army.
The men are coming from the Dopu-
lous centers of eastern Pennsylvania.
Yesterdays arrivals were over
5000, and today's jolly crop is just .
little $50, to be exact.
The movement of troops through
the Disney Station is now reduced to
such a smoothness that II seems like
an endless parade. Yesterday the
Baltimore and Ohio brought the first
men in. but today the Pennsylvania
Is having its turn. +. G. Haskins, OF
the American Railroad Association, is
the man in command. He keeps tab
on every train from the moment it
leaves some far-ofr station in Penn
sylvania until II Is shunted into the
new tracks at Odenton.
Arrivals Bring ThriIIs-
The arrival OF each load brings a
new thrill of pride to those fortunate
enough to be allowed to witness the
scene. Cheerful. jolly, lively describes
all OF them.
You May Be Gone For a Long Time"
Is the selection the band plays often.
There are other recent favorites. but
what sets the boys almost on nre is
'Tipperary.".
It's long. long way to barracks,
too, especially when a fellow has
never ben soldering before. Most OF
the nrst contingents to arrive are as
signed about two miles from the sta
ton. They march across mo Mans
Land"-the open region between the
two long rows OF camp buildings. This
NO Mans Land" has been churned
into dust by thousands OF dynamite
explosions in the removal OF stumps
Thus the marchers soon kick up in
clouds that look like the real smoke
OF battle barrage. All the diversity OF
civilian clothing and headgear Is
changed to q Uniform dustiness.
Halt" says the officer. and every
suitcase and Red Cross comfort kit
drops into the sand.
The men from Washington will get
r serenade at the station. will have
the prompt checking up of numerical
strength by districts and will then
start on on the "jolly" march across
the "No Mans Land" They will be
glad enough, too, to drop suitcases
when the command Halt" rings in
their ears.

HUGE BRIGHTER
 READY TO BRAVE u-B0AT DANGERS


 New York, March S.--If she can get a crew the 14,0OO ton freighter Man churia of the Atlantic Transport line will sail for London today unarmed. The Manchuria is the first vessel un- der the American flag to load mails for prohibited port since the Amer ican line cancelled saiEngs on F>o1. 2.
 The crew struck yesterday for 75 per cent. war bonus. The company had already granted 50 per cent. and @sclined to give any more on the sTounu that a further increase would be unfair to the men who sailed two weeks ago on the Mongolia, satisfied with a 50 per cent. bonus. Officers of the line said the men must como to terms or they could get a new crew in time to send the vessel out before sunset
 The French liner Rochambea,l reached her dock here this morning from Bordeaux and the White Star liner Baltic from Liverpool, with pas sengers and mails, got in last night.
 The Baltic left Liverpool Feb. 22 but remained anchored in the river Mersey for 3 1-2 days while destroyers and patrol boats searched the Irish sea for submG rines and mines.
 The Adriatic from Liverpool is ex- pected to arrive late Saturday or on Sunday morning.

Mr.. c. E. Brooks,
 Marshall. Mich.
 Dear Sir:- Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it till got your Appliance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and is not in the way at time, day or night. In fact, at times I did mt know had it on: it just adapted it. self to the shape of the body and seemed to be part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in.
 It would be veritable God-sen to the unfortunate who suffer from rup- ture if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would certainly never regret it.
 My rupture is now all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance Whenever the opportunity presents it. self l will say a good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way in which you deal with ruptured people. It is pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am,
 Yours very sincerely,

Two of the most elaborate and in- tricate mine fields that a nation has ever devised for the safeguarding of city's water gate have been planned by the coast artillery and the corps of engineers to protect the entrance to the waters immediately about New York.
 While these mine fields have been planned, experts say, so that not even a hostile rowboat could pass through unharmed, ways have been devised to permit the passage of friendly vessels. Mines such as those shown in the picture are able to de- stroy even the greatest vessels afoat. The destructiveness of such mines has been demonstrated many times in the European war.
 It rests with the coast artillery to supplement the defense, begun by the navy, when the ships of an enemy come within the long range of the greata disappearing guns and mortars with which the forts about New York bristle. Also it lies with the coast artillery to see that no hostile craft may live once it has entered a mine field. No. 1, ready to lower mine;

 A. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads. used in other trusses, it is not cumbersome or ungainly.
 5. It is small. soft and pliable. and positively cannot be detected through the clothing.
 6. The soft. pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a harness.
 7. There is nothing about it to get foul. and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least,
 8. There are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cut ting and bruising the flesh.
 g. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very best that money can buy. making 1t a durable and safe Appliance to wear.
 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly estab- lished by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public. and my prices are so reasonable, r-J terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending free coupon today.

NEWFOUNDLAND
 FISHERMEN .Iv
 NEED OF o>tilP ?

St. Johns, N. r., March S--New Foundland fish exporters are disturb
 ed over the difficulty in obtaining enough vessels to market their pro- duct this year. The fisheries consti- ute the main industry of the colony and in normal times a large fleet of schooners and small steamers is en- gagged throughout the autumn and winter in carrying to Europe and South America fish caught in the spring and summer and cured by be- ing piclSled and dried in the sun. The vessels trading principally with Portu- gal, Spain, Italy and Greece bring back cargoes of salt from Sicily and Spain.
 Until recently the was has not seri ously interfered with this trade ex cept for a temporary shutting off of the Greek market by the Entente blockade. Since Jan. 1, however, six fish carrying vessels have been tor pedoed off the Portuguese coast and in the Mediterranean. Fishing agen- cies here have purchased all vessels
 at present available, but as the Brit ish admiralty has requisitioned many steamers formerly used in the trade there is a growing shortage of ton- mage.
 The trade will require at least 35,- 900 tons of salt to cure this years catch of fish. So far only. enough ships have been secured to bring in 5000 tons.
 Sir Edward Morris, premier of New Foundland, who went to England re- gently to participate in the forthcom- ing imperial conference, carried with him strong representations from fish
 merchants and others as to the need of assistance from the admiralty in solving the problem.

Negotiations looking to China's en- trance into the war against the cen tral powers now are in progress at Peking and in all the entente capitals, 1t was learned in Washington, and their success depends only upon the harmonizing of the rewards to be given to China with the amount of cooperation demanded of her. It is regarded as practically certain that China will sever relations with Ger many, and declaration of war prob ably will follow if the entente will guarantee' satisfactory, relaxation of the restrictions imposed upon the eastern country by the world powers after the Boxer troubles. Ii Yuan Hung, who succeeded the late Yuan Shih Kai as president of China, is seen in the picture.
