FIRST ART SALON HELD IN
PARIS HAS CLOSED IT'S DOORS

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE first salon TO
be held since the war, has just closed
Its doors, after being open for two
months. The receipts from the entries
reached the equivalent of $4,000 ana
the sum taken in from the sale OF
works exhibited was $4,000. The fis
ures are considered very satisfactory
as the opening Of the exhibition coin
cided with the commencement OF the
bombardment of the capital by long
range guns and with the active Pc
riod of air raids, two events whlch
led to the departure OF many peopie
who would have visited the show
The exhibition was held in the PetiV
Palais in the Champs Elysees, the
Grand Palais being now hospita'
and the two societies, the Artlstes
Franchise and the Beaux Arts, gener-
ally known as the old and new salons
combined their forces instead OF holo-
ing separate exhibitions,

ESTABLISHING SCHOOLS AND
HOSPITALS In CHINA
(By Associated Press.)

Toxic, Aug. 1.-Two Japanese or
ganizations which were founded to
help China, are planning an extension
Of their work. The Dojinkai, char
liable association devoted chiefly to
medical work, which is presided over
by Marquis Olluma, projects raising
$4,000, 900 to establish 30 hospitals in
various Chinese towns within the
next ten years. The second organi-
cation, known as the Dobunkai. will
try to extend the scope of its mission
of educating the young generation of
China.
The Asahi praises the new efforts
to help China, saying they will con-
tribute to the welfare of the two coun-
tries. 1t thinks that Japan's China
policy in the past has been near
sighted and too much founded on con-
siderations of present interests. 1t
pays a glowing tribute to the labor of
American missionaries in China.

ALA. GA. AND
Tenn. TROOPS
IN BATTLE LINE
NORTH OF TOUL
SITUATION IN RUSSIA Is BAD:
NOT MUCH CHANCE OF AN EAST
FRONT BEING ESTABLISHED
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 17.-More than
l.45OOOO American soldiers have
embarked from the United States,
General March told newspaper corre-
spondents today. This includes men
sent to Italy and Siberia. He said
there is approximately 1,550OOO in
cantonments at home. March stated
the Russian situation is very bad be-
cause of the general completely of
affairs there. He intimated that there
is not much chance of establishing an
eastern front because Of the numbe"
of men that would be required
March said the Eighty-second Di-
vision, composed of Alabama, Geor-
gia and Tennessee troops, is in bat
tie line north of Toul, where they
arrived early in July, but said re-
ports do not show that the Eighty-sec-
ond has been engaged.
March said official reports through
the Spanish embassy give no evidence
that American prisoners in Germany
are singled out for mistreatment as
has been reported. Detailed reports
show the question Of treatment OF
prisoners largely has become stand
ardized.

AMERICANS IN SECTIONS
MADE FAMOUS BY CENTURIES
OF WARS AND REVOLUTIONS
(By Associated Press.)

Headquarters the American Troops
With the British Forces in France.
Aug. T.--American soldiers during
their brief leisure moments, are wan-
dering through ruins and over fields
made familiar to students of history
by centuries of wars and revolutions.
Some OF them have already fought ON
the scene Of some of Napoleon's ope'
rations in the region OF the Marne.
Some are training over ground
where the Normans fought the French
and where the French fought the
Spaniards. Later, they will, perhaps,
be marching in line of battle over the
country where the French and the
Germans have fought again and again
and where they will help the French
and the British in the last of the wars
to devastate the smiling valleys of
France for centuries to come.
Nearly the entire history of France
is pictured all over the areas occu-
pied by the Americans in ancient
churches which, along with object
lessons in history will give the atten-
tive soldier an enlarged appreciation
of art and architecture.
Asked to what extent the men were
profting from these opportunities, an
officer of the American forces said
that after getting located the soldier
takes the first opportunity to explore
the neighborhood. To use one OF the
British terms that are taking root
among the overseas men they push
off, into all the hooks and corners.
II their conceptions Of what they see
are often vague at first they soon get
the habit OF observation which devel-
opes into taste and In goodly NUM-
Der Of cases becomes study.

British Tanker Sunk Off
Cape HatteraS; Grew Had
To Jump For Their Lives

inspired articles in the German press,
has begun campaign to explain" to
the people at home why they haven't
been able to stop or even interfere
with the flow of American troops to
France.
III these inspired articles 1t is now
admitted as a final fact that 1t Is i'm
possible under the convoy system that
the Allies have perfected, to attack
the transports with hope of success.
In other words, the German gov
ernment realizes that the danger to
a U-boat which attacks convoy is
far greater than the danger to the
convoy. So they're not showing their
heads.

EGATIONs IN PEKING ASKED

(By Associated Press)

Peking Aug. 17.-some OF the ie
cations in Peking have been requested
bv the Chinese Foreign Office to aban-
don the custom of using the old Man

RECORD SHOWS BUT POI
CASUALTIES AT SEA IN ,400,0OQ

London, Eng, Aug. 7.-This news
story is for American wives and
mothers.
The facts which follow are now per-
mitted to be assembled and present
ed in this form by Admiral Shines u,
s. navy staff in London.
When your soldier son or husband
starts across the Atlantic he has bet
ter than a 1900 to 1 chance Of arriv-
ing at his destination safe and well
Since the United States declared
war, about 1,400,000 American fighters
have come across. The total casual
ties at sea have been 291. That's only
one man lost in 1900
Here's another point: That proper
ton, as small as 1t is, covers all the
men sent across since early 1917. And
every month methods and appliances
safeguarding the transports have i'm
proved ana DrOaueneu.
As Safe as a Church
So the 1900 to / chance which the
long-period figures prove, does not ac.
tually show the percentage today.
It's better than that.
"As safe as a church one Sammy
who landed recently put 1t.
Practically every American soldier
now comes to Europe In convoy
a group of ships. Which means, in
case of the improbable torpedo that
there are other ships very near for
rescue work.
Practically every one of these trans
ports is armed-that Is, there are big
guns on the actual vessels carrying
the soldiers.
Additional protection in the form OF
escorting war vessels is provided for
every convoy in the so-caled danger
zones, and many, have escorting war
vessels all the way across.
More war craft, especially designed
for beating down the U-boats, are
constantly getting on the job, as the
shipbuilding plants turn them out IN
constantly increasing numbers, oMre
carrying ships are being put into SER
vice. too. On one day in July there
were 100000 soldiers at sea at once.
More U.Boats Being Sunk
The percentage Of U-boats sunk by
the Allied navies is climbing. A re-
cent British official statement shows
that, for the first time in the war, the
number of U-boats sunk in the past
six months exceeds the number Ger
many has been able to build. In
short, they're being sunk faster than
they're being built.

SIM FEINERS STRIKE

Dublin, Aug. 1.-THE Sim Fein
prisoners in Dundalk and Belfast have
gone on strike because they were not
satisfied with the prison food. BY a
concession these prisoners had been
permitted to receive food from out
side and their friends in the country
kept them supplied. Professor Ed
ward De Valera, who is interned in
Lincoln Jail, England, sent out word
to his followers that they were not
thus to relieve the government of the
necessity for providing food, and this
direction being obeyed, the prisoners
had to fall back on the ordinary pris-
on fare.
