by Associated Prcss.l
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Sunday, March 3-Some Of
the American troops in the Chcmin- dcs-
DANES sect; are having an experience
CT cave life behind the front trenches,
their billcts being deep underground
quarries and natural rcccsses beneath
the surface. Tho correspondent. on n
visit to this sector. found them thus
quartered. occupying positions held by
the Germans less than a year ago.
Most of the Americans, however, are
living in the trenches and accompany
ing duCouts.
The underground billets are various
~ named One OF them is called the
Pantheon" 1t accommodates 1000
men. The correspondent found French
and American soldiers living together
there in perfect harmony.
LIVING QUARTERS
a. FEET UNDERGROUND
The living quarters of the Americans
in this cave nre scvcnty-two feet under
ground. Fresh air is supplied by large
air pumps. The cave is in part cleo
trically lighted. Elsewhere acetylene
lamps and oil lanterns are employed
The men usually remain in this cavern
from four 10 six days each, company
being assigned 4 certain portion Of the
excavation.
y small railway for carrying supplies
runs through the cave. A sign over one
entrance rcnds: East Boston Tunnel"
and one of the men standing near re-
marked: THAT reminds me of home"
AT another point the correspondent
saw some men who had just completed
their round of trench duty. The gen
cral in command said they had begged
TO be allowed to stay in the line n
few more days. why, they took US out
before we even had n decent scrap"
said n machine gunner.
PREFER TRENCHES TO
TRAINING CAMP
AS soon as the Germans learned the
Americans were in the trenches oppo-
site them they put up sign reading:
welcome. Yankees" but tho infantry
men riddled it with bullets. All the
soldiers with whom the visitor talked
expressed pleasure at being in the
trenches rather than in a training
camp.
The general took the party OF cor
respondents to his headquarters and
pointed out the location OF his troops
on large map.
How much no mans land is there
between the trenches at this point?"

BURNING 5
WOOD IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ca, January 25.-Opera-
ton Of number of public schools in
Georgia has been made possible dur
ing the fuel shortage by public spir-
tied citizens who are furnishing free
wood from their farms which county
conyicts are cutting and hauling to the
schools in county wagons.
Information to this effect has been
received in the Office of Governor Dor
sey, and State School Superintendent
Britain, in the capitol, and is deeply
gratifying to these officials Without
such cooperation it would have been
impossible to run the schools.
Every one of Atlanta's public
schools has been closed until February
I, because of the shortage of coal, and
TIE time now lost will be made up by
extending the session of school in the
summer All of the school house bins
were emptied and the coal sold to the
public at cost in small quantities, two
weeks ago, and the city is now replen-
ishing it's supply as rapidly as it can
secure delivery of cars.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF
UTILITIES IS ADVOCATED

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 25-That the
hour has struck for government own
ership of railroads, coal mines, tele-
phone and telegraph lines, packing
houses and grain elevators, is assert
&c by Dr. j. w. Ham, pastor of the
Baptist tabernacle of this city, whose
recent sensational fight for distribu-
ton of Atlanta's meager coal supply
brought on the investigation by the
state council of defense which result
ed in giving coaF for domestic use
the absolute right of way over all other
demands.
In an address which he has just
delivered to his congregation, one of
the largest in the city, DR.. Ham de-
clared that the fires of the great
world war are welding all nations and
all people into one great human fami-
ly, and that henceforth the govern
ments of the world will be forced by
the power of public opinion and the
inevitable logic events to own and
operate the public utilities and the
distribution of the prime food necessi-
ties of life.

FIGURES ON SHIPPING
SHOW BAD SITUATION

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 25.-Striking
figures on the present shipping situa-
ton with regard to the submarine men.
ace have been published by the Pa
triotic Education society, have just
come to DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule, federal
food administrator for Georgia. The
following facts are outstanding:
Total ocean-going vessels now afioat
number about 10000, having gross
tonnage of about 100000 tons. Loss
es of shipping during the war have to-
tailed about s,7S3,OSO tons and the
supply OF ships is about 20 per cent.
of normal.
The enormous war needs ror num-
non ships and troop ships, added to
these bottled up in neutral harbors,
leave relatively small number of
ships for carrying food.
Shipbuilding in France has been at
standstill since the beginning of
the war; England's output is less than
normal; Japan is hampered by lack
Of materials, and the American ship
supply is only beginning.
This grim condition places addi-
ticral stress on the Importance of
sending to Europe foods of concen-
trated nutritiye value and those most
urgently needed-especially meat, fats,
wheat and sugar.
