enthusiastic crowds which packed
the streets through which they
marched to the barracks where they
are quartered. -ar~.
Several times groups of shop girls
on their way to work slipped through
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 Paris" or "Good
luck" When the regimental colors
were carried past, the men barred
their heads. The Americans were
greatly surprised to see a number of
children kneel in the streets as the
flag was carried by. They were or
phans from an institution in the
neighborhood.
The soldierly bearing of the men
impressed the people. They were
we'll Drowned and their field packs
gave them different appearance
from British or continental soldiers.
Headed by their own bands the
soldiers, carrying their rifles and
field packs, fell in and marched off
to the barracks. The crowd waved
American or French flags. Hundreds
of Americans were at the station. 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 military band
played Yankee DOODLE" "Dixie,"

BRUTAL ACTS MARK RACE
WAR AT EAST St. LOUIS

have stirred up their infammable
followers. u
An incident Of the night indicated
the temper of the mob. One crowd
went about the streets shouting
against the mayor.
Lets get Mollman," they cried.
Hes the man that brought 'em in.
Lets lynch the mayor
The cry was raised because of the
false rumor that Mayor Mollman
went south and advertised that negro
labor would be we'll paid here.
AS a matter of fact, he conferred
in New Orleans with view of dis
couraging migration of the negro.
The news was published at the time,
but the crowd last night was not in
a mood for fine distinction.
Another of the innumerable Incl
dents of the night was an attack on
a young negress. White men and
women were among the assailants.
LET the women have her." was the
cry dIlOu6 Luc Iutll, anu Wullc "OHcH
began tearing the garments from
their victim. The negress' cry of
please! Please! l amt, done moth
in" was stopped by blow in the
mouth with club which a woman
swung like baseball bat. Another
white woman seized the victims
hands and the blow was repeated;
fingers tore at her hair and her waist
was stripped from her.
"Now let's see how fast she can
rum" suggested bystander as the
negress broke loose. The women
were loath to leave her alone, but,
after following her with their blows
for short distance, they stopped
and she ran, crying, down the mid
die of the street. The women next
tried to get an aged negress who was
guarded by three militiamen. One
of them wrestled with the soldier
for his rifle and another succeeded in
getting in few blows.

Washington, July 3. s.-The Russian
offensive. welcomed with rejoicing
by the Russian missoin here, was
stated today by Ambassador Bakhna-
atoff to be complete proof Of the re-
establishment Of Russia's fighting
powers as a necessary safeguard to
the achievement of the revolution.
The temporary inaction was explain
ed as due to two causes, the neces-
sity Of reorganizing the army on dem
$ocratic principles and the time re-
sduired for. 1t to realize the necessity
Of destroying German autocracy. sf
The mission will not prophesy as

Great Question Is, Can 1t Be

fBy the Associated Press>

The great offensive Of the re-
generated Russian army initial
ed under the leadership of Min
lister of War Kerensky in person
is being successfully pushed. Ad-
vices to the Russian government
declared it is developing Gin an
absolutely favorable manner"
The success Of the initial
thrust in the new drive by Gener-
al Brussilof in Galicia was be-
yond question. Costly as it prob
ably was to the Russian person
mel the taking of more than 10,-
900 prisoners by the attacking
army in the comparatively mar
row sector shows how disastrous
it must have been to the enemy.
There remains the question of
whether the drive could be kept
up with sufficient force to reach
the full advantage Of the victory.
While this question does not
seem to,be definitely decided, the
indications are admittedly. en-
couraging. ~ L. Il !. !.
Ground has been gained beyond the
line of the original attack and the
Russians are advancing in the direc-
ton of Zlochoff, which is 35 miles
directly east of Lemberg. Zlochoff
lies on the important railroad line
from Tarnopol to Krasne, at which
latter point it links up with the
Brody-Lemberg railroad line. 1t is
slightly west of a north and south
line srunning through the important
Teutonic stronghold at Brzezany, 25
miles to the south.
The Russian artillery is plentifully
supplied with ammunition for the i'm
portant work it has in hand. The
supply. department was the. weakest
of any during the old regime. The de-
!. ficiency in this respect now seems to
have been thoroughly remedied.
Petrograd advices declare the prep
aration as regards munitions and
equipment were better than for any
preceding operation in the whole
war.
Military movements in other fronts
are dwarfed in Importance by the
Russian drive. There is nevertheless
considerable activity on the Aisne
and verdun front in northern France,
where the Germans are continuing
their attacks. General Petain's fore
es are holding firm, however, and all
the crown princes attempts of last
night, including sharp drive sbe-
+ tween Hill 3O4 and Avocourt wood
in the Verdun region, were complete
ly checked. e.,

East St: Louis, July 3.-Furth-
er shooting was reported by the
police, but without details as the
afternoon wore on. Ambulances
were scurrying hither and thith-
er. Chief Of Police Payne, hear
ing that a crowd of roughs from
he Missouri side of the river was
coming over, leach to get a mig
ger" appealed to Chief of Police
Young of St. Louis, Mo-, to close
the bridges. These were closed
last night, but reopened this
morning. A few buildings burn
ing kept the firemen busy.
Three hundred and ten dwell
lings, mostly negroes shacks,
valued at 100000, were Destroy
ed by fire in the rioting last
night, according to a statement
made today by Fire Chief M. J.
Tobin.
Negroes who could not be
cared for in the jail were hud-
died in groups, including some
whites, in the prison yard, where
they had fled during the night.
Militiamen are guarding them.
One brutal incident of the night
was related among many others to-
day. On Fourth street, near Broad
way, three men saw negro appar-
emily dead lying in gutter. One
flashed pocket light in his face and
saw that he still breathed.
"Well, what do you know about
that" he exclaimed. ''Not dead
yeti"
He and one of his companions then
drew their pistols and each fired a
bullet into the negro's head.
The causes deeply underlying the
disturbance are said to be of inter-
est to many northern communities
where negroes. have been brought
from the South to replace men en-
listed in the armed forces, of the Unit
ed States, or who have been tempted
to other sections by: the high wages
paid in munitions factories.
Race antagonism famed up last
May, combined with an attempt to
obtain q permit from the city council
to build an addition to the negro set
tlement, but the project, after a. bit-
ter fight, was defeated. This served
to intensity feeling against the
blacks. Petty crime is said to have
increased; disease likewise. The
whites began tds feel they would be
saddled with IN undesirable element.

East St. Louis, July 3.-The list
of known dead in the race riots
in East St. Louis, said to be the
worst in the nations history, was
increased to 27 today when the
bodies of three more negroes were
found.
Two fire companies from st.
Louis, Mo-, have arrived to help
fight fires. Fires started in three
negro quarters at noon were fam
ned by high wind and spread
rapidly, getting beyond control.
A general fire alarm has been
sounded.
Troops and police have hurried
to the scene of the fire, where
crowds of rioters have assembled.
Five or six shacks are on fire and
the flames are spreading rapidly.
At a conference between Adju-
tant General Dixon, Colonel Trite,
assistant adjutant general, and
100 business men, Samuel Nc
Lynn, a lawyer, denounced the
conduct of the national guards,
saying If they had done their duty
there would have been no serious
rioting. The guard did not try
to break up the crowds; in fact,
fraternized with the rioters, he
declared. Adjutant Dixon said
if he learned of any case in which
guards failed to do their duty,
they would be court martialed.
Colonel Tpites said to 6 o'clock
last night, he had only so guards
with which to face the rioters.
