 His opponents said he made the ex cuse that Chicago was the sixth Ger man city in the world The mayor replied that he did issue the invita- tion when the city council gave him authority. Mayor Thompson used America first as his campaign
 
 for the German and labor votes. A feature of his campaign was the cir culation of personal pledge cards which he declares nearly 2.000 voters signed His manager base their hopes on splitting of the opposition votes between Mccormick and Floss.
 Friends of Thompson expect him to carry Chicago by a sufficient mar gin to make up for any possible de- ficit in the down state vote Con gressman Mccormick has the support Of the regular organization in Chi cago and nearly every county in the state and is confident of succesa Congressman Foss also claims he will win

FIRST SHOT FIRED BY
 AMERICAN IN FRANCE
HONOR BELONGS TO SERGEANT ALEXANDER ARCH, OF SOUTH
 BEND IND.

New York, Sept 10-The story oi | the first shot fired by the American expeditionary force in the war with Germany--a shell sent screeching in- | to the German lines when dawn was about to break on October 23, l917- is contained in letter sent to the Associated Press by the commander
 of the Indiana battery which perform
 ed this important action in American
 history
 Alexander Arch, of South Bend,
 Ind. a sergeant in this unit Battery C. If the sixth field artillery--is the veteran soldier, who, according 10
 this letter, yanked the lanyard, of the pioneer gun to speak for the United
 States on the soil of France. Newspaper correspondents who in spected the gun on the day it was fired, were permitted to say in their
 cablegrams only that this sergeant was from South Bend The honor of firing this shot had been claimed by another member of the battery Captain Tdas R. McClendon, in com mand of Battery c, in writing of this event, express ed his conviction that
 the people of the United states should have available an authoritative ac- count, both on account of the sig
 nificance of the deed, and because in his opinion, credit should go to the man to whom the officers of Battery 1 c say it is.
 Alexander Arch, of South Bend, Indiana, Is the man pulled the Ian yard and sent the first American shot into the hostile lines on the morning of October 23. 1917, at five minutes past six, Captain McClendon says i On this particular morning Arch had special gun crew made mp of the other sergeants who were in com l mand Of gun sections in the battery, all Of whom were anxious to have a | hand in the job Arch, himself, set off the range and acted as number one, pulling the lanyard al my com | mand fire"
 Twenty four shots were fired that
 morning. Captain McClendon con tlnued, and added:
 The firing of the first shot was
 an event which our commander, con- | sidered worthy of special mention l and record and ordered the shell l cases of the first eight shots sent to his headquarters with a view to their 1 preservation Later the commander 1 in chief of the American expedition
 ary forces ordered the gun which | fired the first shot to be withdrawn from service and Understood that it has been. or will be, sent 10 the states
 to be kept as a relic of the great 1 war"
