 Secretary Meyer was sixty miles or -lcre, as the crow flies, from Mount Mckinley when time limitation com pe.ied him to return. At that point he describes as sutlime the spectacle presented by the vast mountain whose lpper fourteen thousand feet is per 3etuelly ice clad. Mount Mckinley rises 2o,700 feet above sea level and 17,50o feet above the level of the park alleys at it's foot.
 The railroad work is pushing stead !y forward, and in the not too distant iuture tourists will be able to dis mount from comfortable trains at the gateway Of Mount Mckinley National Park.

that we are preparing to go across.
That is no secret as we are packing
up and sending our equipment and
are being drilled and equipped for
the purpose. Of course we have no

ARRIVAL OF The AMERICAN
TROOPS IN FRANCE; INTERESTING
STORY TOLD OF ACHIEVEMENT

American port, Western France,
August 10.-[Correspondence of The
Associated Pressl-There is the
crash and bang of a great cannonade,
like a battery of trench mortars in
faction. But this is not the cannonade
of the battle front one hears here,
but another kind of cannonade, al
most as fierce and ear splitting, of
trip hammers, giant sledges and
electric rivetters in the gigantic
American construction camp which
has suddenly sprung into existence
here.
Standing in the vast workshops,
about the dimensions of the capitoi
in Washington, with the throb of a
great work going on inside and miles
of activity stretching away outside in
railway yards, warehouses, docks and
camps, one feels this is after all quite
as essential part in the winning of
the war as the struggle going> on
further forward, for here is the very
fountain head of material for winning
the war. There are great 1872 MILL
metre cannon like the 12-inch mon
Sters on American battleships, with
all their powderous mountings and
trucks, huge 90-ton locomotives
which are turned out with the in
credible speed of six to ten day.
exceeding the output of the great
establishments in America, and flat
cars, freight cars, box cars, tank
cars, and all the other forms of
railway transportation turned out by
scores and hundreds daily as baker
turns out cakes from his ovens
That has been most astonishing to
the European observer is that all this
vast storehouse of American energy
and production could be created in a
few months out of practically moth
ing. Last fall the site of this present
plant was vast marsh with the sea
water over it at high tide. 1t was
necessary first to raise the level of
the ground five to nine feet. This was
a hug engineering undertaking in
itself, When it was done. instead of
marsh with the sea tapping it, the
astonished townspeople saw a high
and level plane adjacent to the city,
with big ocean piers beginning to
stretch out seaward for the incoming
migration of American men and ma
terials. Soon thereafter rose like
magic the huge buildings to carry on
the infinite diversity of activities of
this hive of war industry.
Under the escort of Baron Dornes
one of the chief French officials
connected with the institution The
Associated Press correspondent mad
an opportunity today to see the huge
enterprise in full swing 1t was like
going through the Bethlehem or
Carnegie works, with the same roar
of production on giant scale, with
furnaces glowing, hammers and
RIVERS beating, and armies of work
me1-enliSted American soldiers in
their blue jeans and overalls-in
their many branches of work Inside
the main building was like being in
side the Pennsylvania railway station
in New York, enlarged several times
over
There are 1,40O men at work here"
explained the Baron, "all of them
skilled American mechanics enlisted
as soldiers, working in three shifts
continuously for "a hours"
To the left big trench mortars
weighing hundred tons each were
being picked up by the giant fingers
of derrick and landed on their train
