French Newspapers Interesting
Account of The Invasion
OF The Americans

C. Hicks Fletcher, now in Euro
pean waters sends the following clip
ping from French paper:
French Atlantic Port, Aug.-The
Americans are here in force. They
have taken possession of practically
the whole of the business and resi-.
Dental part Of the port without a
shot being fired in its defence, or a
word of protest uttered against the
invasion. Indeed with the greater
part Of the male population away at
the war the remainder of the inhab.
itants have received the invaders
with open arms and taken them fully
and completely to their hearts.
! For some time the Americans
have been consolidating their posi-
tons. Her cargo ships and trans.
ports fill part of the harbour-for no
single nation could completely fill
that. The destroyers and submarine
chasers escort her conveys out and
in, and these vessels in complete co.
operation with the French now also
assist in the regular routine of pa.
trolling the regional waters and as
sist in making matters unhealthy for
submarines.
When the Germans Know!
What the Germans will say of all
this when they are made aware Of 1t
through the medium of the British
Press can only be conjectured, for, of
course, they know nothing of it at
present AT least we may safely as
sumo that the public Of the enlight-
ened Fatherland do not; and it might
not be altogether a bad thing for the
Entente Allies if they did. 1t would
mean the sowing of wholesome sus-
picion that would produce crop IF
dire detection Official Germany,
however, must have had some idea
that something Of the kind was i'm
pending, for inquisitive submarines
have frequently been lurking about
in the offiing, and the French naval
authorities woke up one day to the
fact that large sowing of German

roads are making good in splendid
way. We now have women checking
baggage at the union station, in fact
women in all lines connected with
railroading from work in the yards
washing cars, to selling tickets. And
yet we used to thing railroading
strictly mans job.
The traction company is greatly
increasing its force Of women work
ers, and women are capably replac-
ing men at switches and may soon
here follow the street cars regularly.
1t has not surprised us that women
were successfully running elevators,
and why not Office girls instead Of
office boys? Many hotels in the
North have had girl hellKops for
years, especially to answer calls Of
the women guests, and why shouldn't
this be extended to the South? And
who wouldn't prefer to have a wait
ress serve a meal, rather than any
waiter available? And SO in addi-
ton to the Office work, and clerking
in the stores and the positions in the
factories which have always been
held by women, you cannot now go
into business house Of any kind
where there are not goodly mum.
Der of women employed, and the men
say the women are holding down
the jobs with a spirit of patriotism
and enthusiasm which could not be
excelled.
But it behooves every woman who
desires to have part in the bust
ness ranks in helping to win the war
by releasing more men for service at
the front to fit herself for work. She
must have some training, she must
secure a general knowledge of the
kind of business she wants to enter
if she wants to be of the greatest
possible service. There is but small
space for the unskilled laborer today.
There are courses of various kinds
being conducted here to fit women
for all kinds of positions. Train
yourself if you hope to succeed in the
business world. -Jacksonville Times

vantage of this apparatus practically

disadvantage to surface ships has
been overcome.
The SeapIanes
The French naval authorizes take
their patrol work very seriously, and
also that of freeing the seas from
underwater dangers through floating
mines. Thus the great seaplane sta
ton with its machines in constant
use and others building on the spot;
the depot with its airships, and the
observation balloon school and sta
ton with its permanent captives and
those towed by armed patrol boats
all have their part in the cooperative
work of searching for mines and
other "untersee" perils. So effective
is this work that we were informed
that recently after a liberal sowing
of mines by the nemy over 100 were
swept up and destroyed within one
week
We get all these details in opera
ton; we say also the latest French
submarine mine-layer. Thorough
ness is supposed to be the sole prop.
erty of the Boche. But that is only
part of the poison gas he spreads for
his own advantage. Nothing could
be more thorough, one would think,
than the French organization in this
department of naval activity.
Significant Figures
This would be an. appropriate point
to throw in few of thes statistics.
hut while some people thrive on fig
ures, others loathe them. But as
showing the effectiveness of the con
yoy and patrol work, it may be said
that between February and July this
year of the 262 vessels escorted TO
one place only one was torpedoed; of
the 1866 vessels escorted int he same
period not one was successfully at
tackled; not one of the 391 American
vessels escorted in the same period
was lost.
From January to August 1891 sail
ing ships were escorted round the
western coast of France. OF these
27 wer torpedoed. These figures do
not include transports. One could
give lengthy figures to show the
enormous amount of work for the
war in other spheres carried on here;
but one other instance may perhaps
be sufficient indication of its scope
and extent. In the neighbourhood of
the port is a huge factory which
manufactures melignite Before the
war the output for one year was 4S
tons. 1t is now A tons per day.
There are now filled 10000 shells for
the Army daily. Since the war the
number of shells filled here runs in
to millions.
"Doing Its Bit"
Yes, this port is very much alive.
1t may not be the centre for the
building and manning and fitting out
of huge fighters Of the Fleet. But Its
naval and military works personnel
under skillful direction is none the
less taking huge part in the CO.
operative work of the war. For our
guidance and for the imparting of In
formation the French Government
delegated two capitaines de frigate,
typically courteous and charming

THE PREPARATION FOR
THE RED CROSS SALE

Many are the deserved compliments
given to Messrs. G. G. Christensen
and George Hunt for the generous
use (without cost of their garage
for the accommodation of the Red
Cross Society last Saturday.
These gentlemen cleaned out the
building for the storage of the hun
dreds of things that were brought in
to make up the sale, that could not
be cared for in any other place. And
when all was over the replacement OF
their goods in presentable condition
for public inspection again, was nc
small matter.
To find storage room for theil
stock of cars in numerous places over
the town and to move their shop fill
ed with repairing tools, to other plac
es that the Red Cross might have
the use of the best building in town
was in our estimation, one of the
worthy acts of patriotic citizens.
We understand there was no charge
made and the Journal in this public
manner for the Red Cross Society
desires to thank the gentlemen fol
their many favors, which helped sc
largely to make the sale a great sue
cess.
The Brayton band boys should also
be commended for the part they took
in the sale. The music discoursed
during the afternoon kept the Grove
in good spirits, and made everybody
feel "at home" This musical organi
zation, headed by Dick Powers, has
always responded to the invitation al
any patriotic meeting, and shows thai
their hearts are in the right place
Several of the members are now il
service, and the members who are al
home feel they are doing their Bit
in playing at an occasion where the
brother members are to be benefited
from the proceeds.
