AMERICAN BOYS
 POPULAR WITH
 FRENCH PEOPLE

With the American Army in France, June 2o.-Though the American troops have repeatedly made them selves extremely popular by their open-handed generosity to the natives among whom they happen to be quar- tered, it has remained for an artillery regiment to distinguish itself especial ly in this respect.
 The unit was quartered for some time in a little French town behind the front. and on the first evening found, almost dying from hunger, an eight year-old boy whose mother had been killed at Verdun. The boy had wan dered aimlessly about until he reach ed this town.
 r He was unanimously adopted by the regiment, fed to satiety and made the mascot and idol of the men. The time came however, very recently when the artillerymen had to leave for front service. To take the boy with them was out of the question. He had been given the nickname of Pat" and they had grown so attached to him that they felt something must be done to assure his future.
 So the men raised 1000 francs with which Pat" is to be cared for in a home and given at least a rudimentary education. They have gone on to the 'ront, possibly never will see the lit tie town again; but the town, and Pat I'll not soon forget them.

APANESE RED
 CROSS SOCIETY SPECIAL MISSION

Tokio, June 20.-Dispatch to En- tente countries of a special mission by the Japanese Red Cross Society was formally announced today. The ob feet of the mission is to visit the AL lies Red Cross headquarters, to tender the sympathy of the Japan Red Cross and inspect the condition of the medi- cal relief work carried on by the Red Cross at the front.
 Prince Keikyu Tokugawa, one of the prominent members of the House of Peers, has been appointed the head of the mission, and will be accompan- jed by pr. Arata Ninagawa, a well known authority on international law, and a medical staff officer. If neces- sary the accompanying physicians will stay at the front and give their ser vices.
 . The mission will first go to the United States and left Yokohama by the Korea Maru on June 3, and spent some time there inspecting the exten- sive medical work carried on by the American Red Cross. Later the mis- sion will proceed to England, France and Italy, finally visiting the worlds Red Cross headquarters at Geneva and returning home after about half a year.
 The Japanese Red Cross Society a few days ago sent large quantities of medical instruments and bandages and other materials useful for medical relief work to England, France America, Italy and Belgium.

WORKMEN GIVEN SHEPPARD JOBS
 IN CONNECTICUT
Between 600 and 700 Assign ed by United States Elm
 ployment Service.

Hartford. June 22.-Between 500 and 700 workmen have been assign ed to work in Connecticut shipyards by the United States Employment Service, the official government labor agency which has established offices in several cities in this state. The men are drawn from the United States Public Service Reserve, having enroll ed with several thousand others, as shipyard volunteers. The enroll ment began in February.
 The demand has been principally for ship carpenters, house carpenters and common laborers, together with few skilled mechanics, according to State Director Leo A. Korper Nearly all of the volunteers have been detailed to three Connecticut ship yards, only a few being sent out of the state. The United States Employ ment Service has been supplying the new labor since early in May. The volunteers are now building ships to win the war at the Groton Iron Works Groton; the Gildersleeve Ship Con- struction Company, Gildersleeve, and the Housatonic shipbuilding Com. pany, Stratford.
 It is the policy of Director Korpel ! first to select desirable men from the unemployed volunteers. When a spe. cial class of workers is overdrawn 1T that group, men are then taken from I'non- essential labor. Before sendins men to the shipyards, the United States Employment Service makes certain that good housing or boarding conditions await the new workmen.

EVEN CAVALRY
 HELP HURL BACK ENEMY TO P|AVE
Allied Airmen, Including Americans Prevent Aus trians From Delivering Food to Fighters.

Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy Friday, June 21-(By the Associated Press) )-Cavalrymen, artillerymen and airmen are giving effective aid to the Italian infantry in driving back the Austrians toward the Piave.
 One of the principal activities of Allied aviators, who now have been joined by American fliers, is to pre- vent Austrian airmen from delivering sacks of bread and other dry food to the Austrian troops on the western side of the Piave, where the Aus trians still are fighting tenaciously.
 Around Montello and in the region of the lower Piave, Italian cavalry is used to help push the enemy back. They are aided by armored cars car rying machine guns.
 The rising waters of the Piave and the activity of the Italian artillery are making it difficult TOT the Aus trians to obtain food. While the water carries some bridges away and damages others, the gunners are sink ing boats and hammering the dam- aged bridges and floats.

gentlemen, who were so kind as to nominate me last yeargand have paid me the still greatest compliment of renominating me after my first ex- perience in Congress. I am glad to testify that I have never had a re- quest or a suggestion from any one of you asking or seeking any per sonal favor or any personal advant- age of any sort. In fact, so far as politics are concerned, l have never had suggestion from any member any committee of the party, as to how I should vote on any question whatsoever. This is certainly a com pliment to me, as indicating the faith of the party in my judgment, and I think it is still more of a compliment to you, because it shows that in nom mating a man you are not nominating him because you think that you can get anything out of it by way of in fiuence, but simply because you think he is a proper man to represent the district anu the party.
 I am, as have said, proud to rep resent this district, and proud to rep resent the Republican party in it, and proud to b. 6 member of the Repub- Iiean party 1m the House.
 You are aware that without the Republicans the President could not have put through the Selective Draft F law, and that he could not have de- clared war. More Republicans voted

SUCCESS CROWNS 1. PLANE TRIP OVER
 ANDES MOUNT ANS

Buenos Aires, June 21-After many fruitless attempts, the Argentine mili- tary flying corps has achieved it's one ambition-the crossing of the An des mountains in a heavier than air machine. Although the Andes had been crossed by balloons, no one ever had been able to get over them with an airplane, though many tried, and George Newberry, the son of an Am erican, lost his life in the attempt some years ago.
 The successful flight has just been made by Lieutenant Louis c. Candela- ria, of the Argentine army, in a ma chine of eighty horsepower.
 Because of the many failures and the dangerous air currents, the War Department refused to permit any more attempts to be made in the re- zion near Mendoza and gave its con- sent to Candelarias flight only on condition that it be made on the ethir- ty-ninth parallel of latitude. The flight was made from Zapala. Argentina, to Cuno, Chile, a straight line distance of approximately 112 miles. The mountain-rangesi in this l region have an altitude of 3,200 me- | ters and it is believed that the flight was made at a much higher altitude to permit landing facilities in case of accident. The crossing was made in a part of the country which has little l telegraphic communication with the outside world and the retails of this record flight were not expected until Lieutenant Candelaria returned to 1 Buenos Aires to make his report to the War Department.
 Candelaria is one of the most prom ising of the Argentine aviators. He completed his flying course in six months.
 | Just before his successful flight, Candelaria made several trial flights for altitude to put his machine to severe test before trusting it to the winds of the Andes.

We have been apt during the re- cent offensives on the western front" Mir. Hurd writes, ito overlook other aspects of the war-notably the fun damental factor, which is sea power. After a period of IS months during which our strength in ships has steadily declined, the downward ten dency has now been definitely arrest cd. Not only is our sea power in .creasing, but our grip on the enemy is firmer than at any previous period of the war.
 Seven million tons of shipping en- ters or leaves our ports monthly. Each ship is the target for enemy submar- ines, yet there have been days in the present week when the enemy has not secured a single ship.
 Twelve months ago we were with difficulty maintaining one stream of traffic, namely, that brought us food and raw material. Today supplies are flowing through this main artery in greater volume than a year ago. At the same time another stream of traffic has started and merchant ship ping has been made available for the greatest transport movement that has ever been carried out.

faster than at one time was thought possible. That means that the bal ance between the Allies and the Cen tral Powers is being adjusted in favor of the Allies.
 ''Viewing the war in it's various as- poets, naval, military and economic. we have every reason for confidence. The tire is distinctly turning and turning, let us hope, for the last time The submarine menace is held. The Allied armies are increasing in rela- tive strength. The food position of this country of France and of Italy is improving, and ship building both in British and American yards is pro- ceeding at greatly accelerated pace There is assurance that, by the end of December, at least 100000 tons will have been put into the water and in the United States, and that figure may be considerably exceeded.
 "On the other hand, the enemy's sinkings of British and Allied tonnage have been so considerably reduced ow. ing to the activities of the Allied navies and the courage and resource of their merchant seamen that it is practically certain that there will be a. balance of shipping on the right side.
 Tn a word, the relative naval military and economic strength of the Allies is sttadily increasing"

OVER 100 MAY BE DEAD
 IN CIRCUS TRAIN WRECK
Personnel of Hagenback- Wallace Show Practically
 Wiped Out. 4 COACHES SMASHED IN REAR-END CRASH Heavy Loss Is Said to Have Occurred Among Corps of
 Ballet Girls.

Chicago, June 22-The pert sonnel of the Hagenback-W Wal lace shows is believed to have been practically wiped out in a disastrous railroad collision between Michigan City and Hammond, Ind, today. Ac- cording to meagre details re- ceived in Michigan Central of- fees a hdndred or more per sons were killed or injured. Four coaches in which mem bers of the circus were sleep ing, were demolished by a rear end collision.
 Among those reported missing are the Rooney family Of bareback riders. the Meyer family of animal trainers, the CottreI: family, equestriennes; Harry La Parl, Ed Devore, Mark Ad- ans and Joe Coyle, clowns. ] Heavy loss in dead and injured is said to have occurred among the bal lot of 100 girls.
 Daylight was just breaking when i the crash came. Those thrown free from the wreckage stood in their night clothes, helpless, while their comrades perished in the flames.
 The show was travelling in two sec tions of Michigan Central train going from Michigan City to Hammond. Al East Ivanhoe hot box caused the second section to stop. A train ot empty Pullman's, coming to Chicago crashed into it, the locomotive plow- | ing it's way through the day car and four sleeping coaches.
 The injured were taken to hospitals in Hammond and Gary.
 Ed. Ballard owner of the circus, es- 1 timated the dead at 50 and the injured at 75. A number of valuable horses are believed to have perjshed also.
 The accident occurred at about 4:3C a. m It was impossible to obtain water and the flames burned uncheck- ed
 L. w. Landnan, general passenger agent of the Michigan Central, sait that his only explanation of the wreck was that the engineer of the train o1 | empty cars must have been dead a the throttle.
 '1n no other way can I account fol the fact that he ignored all the usua danger signals placed by the circu' train,' said MT. Landman. He rar past two block signals, two red ligh signals and the usual fuses planted be tween the rails and throwing off ; brilliant red light visible for a lont distaRces
 This engineer is missing. My in formation is that with the exception of the engineer, whose fate is a mys tery, no one on the train of Pullman was hurt It will be some time befcr an accurate list of the dead can b compiled. It is the worst wreck il the history of the road, I believe"
 The large number of persons in tn casualty list is said to be due to tn practice of show trains of sleeping tw' persons to a berth. The coaches wer - Pullmans of an obsolete type convert ed into gaudily painted show cars.
 At 10:15 a. m. it was said that 4 bodies had been received at morgue in Gary with others on the way.

The United States today is five months ahead of it's program for placing an army in Francei Gen. March said.
 The figures on American troop shipments are significant, as Gen. March at his first conference last week fixed the number shipped at more than S00,Oo0 the addition of 100, 600 during the week showing the rate of progress that is made.
 While the general battle situation looks good today, Gen. March said, the lull on the western front means only that German combat divisions are being reformed for another drive. Viewing the whole situation, includ- ing the Italian front, the chief of staff said the Central powers again were held on all fronts

unit he belonged to. Kelley finally broke down under the expert cross examination and admitted that he was deserter from the Canadian forces, having taken French leave of his unit 31 days ago. At she request of Sergeant Long, the man was held for the Canadian authorities and the local police are now awaiting word from Ottawa as to the final djsposi- tion of the case.
 When Kelley was placed under ar- rest last night at the railroad station he was in company with Private Eu- gene Pierson, of the American army Pierson, upon being questioned, pro- duced a pass from the commander of the 18th company, Fort Michie, New York
 Sergeant Long of the British re- cruiting station is busy today looking up the record of Kelley and expects to have fairly complete report as to his movements since he deserted his regiment.
