THE AFTERMATH.

The aftermath, what will it be,
When our boys come home
From across the seas,
Who have gone to fight for democracy
We, who are left behind
Have time to sit and think
Of the many wrongs and injustices
Which have been done to our race.
Our boys have proven brave soldiers,
And, as in the other wars,
When the call came for volunteers
They answered as before.
So when the war is won
And they return from overseas,
We hope, for their sakes, there II also be
A universal democracy.

INSPIRING SIGHT

The AMERICAN
Correspondent Describes
Docking Of Convoy of
Troops at a French Port.

American Naval Base, France, Oct.
45-(Correspondence of the Associat-
ed Press) latest convoy of
American transports arrived at noon
today, and it was an inspiring scene
to see this state procession under the
midday sun, with a stiff breeze whip
ping the flags the decks crowded
with American soldiers, and the piers
md castle walls black with cheering
people, as the fleet moved majestic
ally past the outer capes to the shell
tered inside harbor. Often the en-
trance is under darkness, to cheat the
submarines which have appeared of
late eff the harbor mouth. But the
entrance today was in broad daylight
so that the whole city had a chance to
turn out and see the sight.
1t was 11:40 when the first des-
troyer was seen on the silvery water
out between the capes. At that dis
lance, three miles, it looked only a
speck as it turned the capes, leav-
ing a thread of smoke behind. This
was the scout ship, far ahead, pilot

ing the way and on the lookout for
any danger along the path. 1t came
straight into the harbor, its work
done, while the main fleet, keeping
compactly together, began to file be-
tween the capes. Ahead was large
destroyer with four stacks, and be-
hind il on either flank two other four
stackers. This was the forward pro-
tecting barrage of destroyers in a
great arc.
Now a huge PROV pushed out be-
yond the white cliffs of the cape, and
grew notwithstanding decks, fun
nels, belching smoke, and then the
MANN 9th hull of a 10000 ton trans
port, formerly a German trans-At-
lantic liner. Soon another appeared,
another former German liner, and
then still another German liner.
Guarded by Destroyers.
Off to the right of the big ships was
a line of destroy starboard
barrag e-and to the left another line,
the port barrage, and astern was
another one of destroyers forming the
rear barrage. Thus enveloped the
big ships passed into the anchorage,
the destroyers drew off to their buoys,
and soon lighters were alongside
bearing ashore this new consignment
of many thousand American troops.
1t is a scene oft repeated now as
day after day and night after night,
but often as it is, it is always stir
ring sight, and one which makes the
blood Jingle, as these thousands Of
fighting men pour out of the west.
The American naval base presented
a wonderful panorama this bright
day, spread out across the water and
along the shore. Besides the fleet

But it was no use; the trawlers had been too long at the game to leave any loop holes and the submarine was doomed.
