and General Pershing said to the guests:
 This is the happiest of the busy days which have spent in France preparing for the arrival of the first contingent Today l have American troops safe on French soil.
 Now our tasks as soldiers lies before US. We hope with the aid of the French leaders and experts who have placed all the. results of their experience at our disposal, to make our force worthy in skill and in the determination to fight side by side in arms with the French army"
 Gieaves Expresses Joy On Arrival In France.
 Rear Admiral Gleaves also spoke briefly to the visitors.
 Only few days ago." he said, 'I stood in the shade of the York town monument where our inde- pendence was won with the assist ance of the great French Admiral de Grasse. This is the happiest day of my life when our navy is welcomed in a French harbor and where our soldiers have been dis embarked. I should feel that it was neglecting a wonderful op- portunity, if I did not recognize the earnest and serious co-opera- tion I have received in my under taking from General Sibert, his of- ficers and men, in this extraordi- nary overseas expedition. Never have cooperation and co-ordina- tion been so imperative and 80 complete between two defensive arms of the nation as at this moment"
 Major General Pershing, true to his demorcatic principles. refused to haggle or delay over the nice ties of etiquette when the question was raised whether Admiral Gleaves should call on him or he on the admiral.
 Debarkation of Troops Becomes Old Story.
 "The point is that l want to see him." the general declared It was accordingly arranged and more convenient. that General Persh- ing should go to the flagship as soon as he was free from the task of inspection.
 Toward the middle of the after noon General Pershing returned ashore and he probably will go to Paris tomorrow (Friday).

He paid a glowing tribute to McAllen and
was given a storm of applause when he
said:
81 know of no other community the size
of this which would put as much money a
this into a school building, unless some rich
man gave a great part of it,"
The success of the occasion was mater
tally contributed to by the excellent music
furnished by the 2Sth Infantry band, which
also played at a dance given in the even
Iplimentary to the officers of the 2Sth In
Ifantry.
DIR. Winship spoke again last night, I'M

~teristic McAllen spirit, was taxed to its
capacity. The speakers subject was "Get-
ting into the Game" Ii was a discussion
of some modern educational problems, and
the speaker again took occasion to pay q
tribute to this community on its education

The school building, now nearing com
~pletion, which was the center of attention
yesterday afternoon, is one to command
more than passing interest. Its total cost
will he $4,000, this school district having
been bonded for 100000 last year, and
the extra 100000 being provided to inn
prove the other schools also.

education, and thinks of what a difference
those few miles make, can but moralize.
The building, a T-shaped structure of
large dimensions, has broad steps leading
up to it, which will support four white

The basement floor will contain the rooms

Casualties of Peace.

A record of 1900 deaths and 227, 900
injuries in eleven months sounds like a
country at war. But it is merely the toll
OF peaceful industry in the state Of Penn
sylvania. That such losses can be alrgely
prevented is generally admitted. Indeed,
it is to the credit of the department of
labor and industry that IN organized cam
paign of instruction, backed up by new
accident prevention devices and moving
picture films, is already under way. But
as a nation We are still ~woefully callous
TO the human costs Of industry. Coal mines
claim an annual toll of about $500, quar-
ries of 200, ore mines of GOO, and rail
roads of some 10000. Compared with
European figures these are flagrantly high.
just now we are patting ourselves on the
back over the workmen's compensation de-
eision. 1t puts the cost on the employer
and in this way spurs him to renewed pre-
caution and so far is good. But. after
all, we should be more interested in pre-
venting accidents than in compensating for
them after they have occurred.-New York
Post.

The officer considered, and concluded
that il was possible.
The other soldier spoke up, and solved
the dilemma.
Couldn't we talk To Fort Brown. My

He talks to me dozens of times d day.
So the German suspects, under guard,
were marched into the instrument room at
the base of one of the big towers and
the major in command OF their detachment
ut Fort Brown was called to the telephone
in Brownsville. His distressed subordinate
told his trouble in brief.

CoNGREssMEN AMERICANS FIRST.


As the date of opening Of the extra SEES
siol of congress draws near, April 2nd, we
feel anxious with regard to the probable
action of the house, which will be exactly
divided between the two dominant parties.
But the press in general is of the opinion
that congress will meet the situation with
true patriotism, and show m united front
to the enemy country. Whether repuhli-
cans or democrats these men are first of
all Americans. They realize that their
country's safety, their country's honor lies
within their keeping. 1t does not, indeed,
seem possible that they could deliberately
humiliate the nation or jeopardize the safe
y tylpf their country by INDUCING in q long
BLK dKRrhpt eqptest for Offices. 1t is incon-
GeivRh&s that they could deliberately delay
the Organization of the house and thereby
render the government unable to act in such
a crisis as the present, while they contend
ed for petty political honors.
True, the detestahle action of Senators
Stone, LaFollette, Cummins, Vardaman
AHUdheessrlli otiile members of the senate
in defeating the armed ship resolution
deneauses many to fear that the nations rep
resentatives in the lower branch of con-
gross may he capable of the same con-
. "tefnptihle course But, it is remembered
that there were only a dozen senators who
were guilty of such an act. The rules gov
,a,eHpi4g debate inntiae senate were such that
even one man, if he were capable of I'M
limited debate, could defeat a measure by
literally talking it to death. There might
be that many or even a larger proportion
Of men in the house who would be capable
of tina same thing, Il it were possible. But
such q thing is impossible in the house.
Only a stubborn exact division on party
lines in the house could prevent organiza-
ton or defeat legislation. 1t is not to be
believed that as many a 215 men of either
party could be found in the house who
would commit such an act at this time. To
do so would ia be shake the faith of the
people in representative government. 1t
would make the house the object of uni
versal scorn and unlimited blame.
There can be no doubt that the patriot
ism Of the great majority Of the members
Of the new house will be the saving grace
of the situation.

The time is at hand when the work of
the naval advisory board, which was com
missioned to study the nations defense
problems, will have opportunity to give the

years Of scientific military preparation on

Elihu Roots voice sounds prophetic, in
deed. He predicts the downfall of the
Hohenzollerns and the H~apsburgs a a Sc

erection of two more republics in Europe.
