Admiral gave high praise to the
French navy and to his neighbor the
Project of the Marine. He spoke to
me about the great pleasure he found
in cooperating with him. He like
wise praised the efforts of our naval

eye of being identified with profess

Coordination of Allied Fleets.
Today there are upon French coasts,
not only French fleet and an Amer
lean fleet, but a French-American
fleet, with French boats and Ameri-
can boats, each one maintaining its
esprit de corps and it's independence
but the unity of command is assured
by a constant contact and an intimate
union of the two admiralties, which
cooperate in the following fashion
with the English admiralty.
The American navy is represented
on the French coast by cruisers, tor
pedo-boat destroyers submarine cha
sers, mine draggers, patrol ships
excepting watch over the coast-wise
shipping and conveying transports
across the Atlantic) and hydroplanes
without speaking of the role which
it plays in the centre of military ac-
ton.
1t has in this port also a repair
beat which seems to be rendering
great service, and is also at the ser
vice of the French navy. 1t is sort
of floating factory where all the work
of forge and carpentry-shop is done;
enormous motors in repair are seen
there the whole propelled by electric
motors. The machinery is installed
according to the most modern meth
DDS, and if there is need of an expert
mechanician, he is to be had among
the reserves of this factory boat.

THE MOUND OF DEATH.

Tracy Robinson, an American ma
chine-g gunner and member of the Ca
madam Princess Pats the regiment
whose heroism at Ypres has made
them immortal, told the following &C
count of the action at St. Eloi to Will
liam G. Shepherd, who writes in Ev-
erybody's for July. after the Ger
mans, wearing Scotch kits, tricked the
brigade that was holding the mound
and routed them, our General took us
out to recapture the mound" said Ira
cy. "It was night The rifle bri-
gade went out first and ran into a
nest Of German machine-guns. We
came next, and the machine-guns got
US, also. Our machine-guns were
turned onto the mound, but we soon
discovered that the Germans were in
St. Eloi itself. A signal was given
to the night-rocket men to illunin
ate the town. They sent white rock
cts into the air and, by this light,
we fought through the streets of the
village. 1t was hand-to hand fight
ing; we couldn't use the machfne-guns.
We lost plenty of men, but the Ger
man dead were piled in the streets.
Both sides used dead bodies for bar
ricades. I saw heaps of German
corpses; you had to jump over them
as YOU ran about. All the time the
white rockets were lighting the streets
and electric hand torches flickered in
alleyways, backwards and emptied
houses as the man-hunt for Germans
continued. We took st. Eloi before
dawn; every German left in it was
dead. And then we got the mound
into our own hands again"

During the first months after the
war, without troubling why this
should be so, we had to establish
communications for the transportation
and supply of our troops in France.
General Pershing in this undertaking
sacrificed speed to perfection, and if
for the moment we do not seem to
have brought all the aid which could
be expected from US after a year of
war, we have given proof of our deter
nination to fight with all our means.

| I had the honor of a reception by
Admiral Wilson, in one of the great
French ports, not far from the spot
where the American flag was for the
first time saluted by France. This
| flag floated from the first ship of the
Union that came to France and was
commanded by Paul Jones, the father
of the American navy.
| What change in this city, which I
had not seen for a. year-Had only
the talent of an American Mahan or
of a French Lott to describe for you
| the intensity of work and effort that
reigns here: At the time there was
only one American boat in the port, a
petroleum tanker of the merchant ma
rine with only few gunners on board
for it's defense.
A City Buzzing With American Ac-
tivities.
Today the city is filed to overflow
ing without soldiers and our marines.
In the streets order is kept by the
American military and naval police,
which has come to reinforce the
French police. Everywhere one sees
only American autos and side-cars; the
little white caps of our seamen and the
khaki hats of our soldiers Gin the
trenches they wear the English he'll
met, which makes them resemble
their cousins from over-seas) mingle
with the red pompons of the French
marines, against the blue horizon of
soldiers on leave, with large felt hats
and sombre blue uniforms lined with
bright red, of our hospital attendants,
with the khaki of some Englishmen
passing through and the dark sill
houettes of our negroes, large numbers
of whom are busy in our ports, unload
| ing the most varied merchandise, from
cases of conserved apricots to automo-
biles.
The Red Gross and Y. NJ. G. A.
These provisions, these munitions
furnished by our factories are the re-
suit of the lessons which our allies
have taught 1u these last few years by
developing the manufacture Of war
products in our country.
All of them, marines and soldiers,
are young, gay, care-free and ardent.
An American policeman with whom I
had occasion to speak and who be-
1onged to the American Regular Army,
said to be: 'I have not come over
here to crack the whip; want to go
fighting against the Germans"
The appearance of the city Is very
much changed; if may say so, it has
become Americanized; the shops, with
their signs in English, are filled with
the greatest variety of goods and the
most exotic kinds, to tempt the Amer
lean buyer.
The two great auxiliary organiza-
tions of our army, the Red Cross,
which has erected dispensaries, and
the Y. M. c. A. are very active here.
The latter has organized homes for
our fighters on land and sea, as well
as for the French soldiers and ma
ri0es

Even Ships from the Pacific.


The port is filled with boats of all
some of them camouflaged in the
style of futurist pictures. One of them
with a displacement of 5000 tons, ar
rived here from the Pacifci coast,
where it had been built in ninety
eight days. It had come through
the Panama Canal, which decreases
by one-half the distance between our
Pacific coast and that of the Allan
tic A number of German trans-At
lantic steamers transformed into tran
sports are also seen - for we have
been able to seize 74o, 900 tons of Ger
man boats in American waters-which
were unloading onto an English tug
boat some of our troops which have
come to fight for Liberty and Civili-
zation.
The establishment of the German
and Austrian prisoners who were
watching this Decentralization was an
interesting thing to see and I should
have loved to hear the reflections
which this spectacle was suggesting to
them.
Among our troops one could see
types of all races and one might say
Of all colors from negroes to even
our Indians; their diversity makes it
necessary for the censors attached to
the division of military correspon-
dence to know forty eight languages
and dialects.
Nearby, we went to a naval aviation
camp, where the aviators wear sombre
gray uniforms and the insignia of the
Marine, which is very beautiful and
makes a striking contrast with the US
ual blue of naval uniforms. Since
the beginning Of the war our aviation
has developed wonderfully if one re-

single aeroplane factory in the Unit

OLLIE N. JAMES

The vote which Senator James,
though virtually without opposition,
polled in Saturdays primary is a
striking demonstration Of the esteem
in which he Is held by the Democrats
Of Kentucky.
Ollie M. James, like Joseph G.
Cannon, and like many other public
men Of the present time and a great
er percentage Of American public
men in earlier periods, sprsng from
unpretentious stock in provincial
community. He came first TO the
capital Of his State and later 20 the
capital Of his country with the en-
thusiasm for democratic ideals and
the freedom from cynicism which so
often distinguishes the rural Ameri-
can and contradistinguishes him
from the metropolitan whose sur
roundings have been less typically
American; less racy Of the soil and
less remindful Of the heroic circum-
stances Of the making Of America.
To Frankfort the long-legged boy
from the Gibraltar district brought
the perfect integrity which makes
idealism possible. When, years after

in Washington, an IN. c." his char
