self by helping the French to econo-
mize in dock and transportation space.
The American plan which envisages
caring for vastly more volume than
the port would normally accommo-
date, even with the enlargement of
docks and store houses, is not original
with them but is more or less a COPY
OF what the English have done at an
other port, where they have increased
the daily output of merchandise from
about 200 cars or less to more than
100. This they have been able to do
by laying out huge yards to the rear
of the actual port to avoid congestion
and to facilitate making up trains
The steady development of the
American port has made it necessary
to rearrange the manner in which the
work is done. Last July a COMPARE
lively small branch Of the quarter
masters department was amply able
to superintend and manage the IN
| loading and distribution of supplies.
Today the work has grown so that it
has had to be entrusted to a railway
transportation department that is
| growing in size every week and which
now merely turns over to the quar-
termaster, as it does to the engineer
ing, the aviation and all the other
departments, such material as belongs
to each.
To keep pace with the increasing
volume of supplies that arrive, huge
force of workmen has been found
necessary Two regiments of colored
soldiers. numbering 5000 men and
most of them husky stevedores and
longshoremen from New York and
Southern ports in times of peace, now
do the bulk of the unloading from the
ships and the reloading of the trains.
A not inconsiderable force of Ger
man prisoners. with whom the ne
groes especially seem to enjoy fra
ternizing, are at work about the docks
from early morning until evening.
Every able male citizen of the port,
and many not 50 able-bodied, in addi-
ton to all the women who care to
work, have found employment and of
course at wares that were hitherto
unknown. The city may be said to be
in the heyday of its prosperity.
The somewhat chaotic conditions
that naturally prevailed when thou
sands uDon thousands of newcomers
flooded into the city from the boats in
late June have subsidized. Those sta
toned permanently in the port have
gradually settled down, in the few
hotels and in many private Iamlhes.
and the men who are not quartered
in the town, itself, live al the original
Icamp where General Sibert and his
first division stayed until it was time
to go to the training camp behind the
front.
The officers have established messes
for themselves at which they can
laval themselves of American food,

As a musical organization the
Orioles have made a decided hit this

The individual artists of the

themselves particularly this year.
Mr.. SamuelsOn as director and

IDAHO PRESS COMMENTS.

The comment of Idaho papers on the
| result of the primary election is much
the same. Democratic papers for the
most part are ominously silent al
though few condemn in unmeasured
terms the methods employed by Nom
partisan league leaders in stealing
their organization and declare that
they will not, under any circumstances,
lend their support to the leaguers and
and their candidates Most Republican
editors are outspoken in their beliefs.
The Occur d'Aelene Press in its after
election review says:
"The league stands for class legisla-
ton and the laboring man who is in
fiuenced to cast his vote for the Town
ley gang Is digging a pit in which he
will be covered as soon as the leaders
have used him for catspaw.
"The prospects for the election Of a
state Republican ticket is brighter
than ever in the history Of the state as
the true Democrats will aid by their
votes in making the country safe by
defeating every follower Of Townley,
Dehs and Haywood"
The st. Anthony Peak Chronicle
congratulates Fremont county on the
fact that the sprouts Of Nonpartisan

mary election, adding. "BOlshevikism

French Rejoice; Americans In Line.
Americans were sent to the big front

a feeling Of exultation to sweep over
France. Everywhere one could hear
the French saying:
America Is now in the linei"
Americans had been In the front line
long before that, but not In the front
line Of the biggest battle Of the war.
The French newspapers commented
widely on the matter and later gave
great prominence to the statement of
General Pershing that anything Amer
lea has is at the disposal of France
for what use she wishes to make of 1t.
This was regarded by France as the
most generous and patriotic offer ever
made by one nation to another. The
people Of France are overjoyed. They
never feared the result of the big bat
tie now going on. Possibly they wor-
rled sometimes about the capacity of

considerable intelligence, would make
a better messenger than German
soldier on the battlefield and also
that If dog had long legs he would
be faster messenger dog than mes
