FRENCH AMAZED.
Marines Deliberately Adjust Rifle
Range Before Shooting.

Washington, Aug. 10.-A graphic
eyewitness account of the fighting
near Chateau-Thierry, in which
American divisions, including the ma
rine brigade, took part early in June,
was made public today by the navy
department. 1t is in the form Of a
long letter from an officer of the ma
rines to Major Gen. Barnett, COM
mandant of the corps, and the story
told is of peculiar significance as, in
the opinion of many officers here, it
was the stand of the Americans along
this line which saved Paris. The
name of the writer is not disclosed.
The Americans we're rushed to the
line in motor trucks to support the
hard pressed French, and June l, the
marine brigade deployed on a support
position, the battalion commanded by
Major Thomas Holcomb hurrying into
line as the men climbed off the
trucks. The Germans were coming
on and June 2 the French dropped
back, passing through the American
lines.

house in Lavoie Chatel, a little viii
lage between Champillon and Lucy

one side We had observation of the

They were driving at Hill 165
from the north and northeast and
they came out on wonderfully clear
day in two columns across a wheat
field. We could see the two thin
brown columns advancing in perfect
order until two-thirds of the columns
we judged, were in view.
The rifle and machine gun fire

The white patches would rol

the columns were still there, slowed
up, and it seemed perfect suicide fol
them to try. You couldn't begrudge
a tribute to their pluck, at that.

MOVE TO DRAFT BRITISH.
Last Opportunity for Registrants to
Join Own Army.

British and Canadian registrants in
the United States are given last op-
portunity of Offering themselves for
service in their own armies before
finally becoming liable to compulsory
service under draft in this country.
An appeal to these men to avail them
selves of this opportunity Is made by
the British and Canadian Recruiting
Mission in this statement issued last
night:
IN view of the Senate's approval of
the recruiting convention between the
United States and Great Britain, an
important order has been telegraph
ed today to all local boards through
out the country by Gen. Crowder, the
provost marshal general.
Shortly, this order provides that.
till further notice. local boards shall
put or one side all registration cards
relating to British subjects, whether
classified or unclassified, and shall
suspend the induction Of British SUBJ
jects into the United States army.
"While this order is in force. all
British registrants may be voluntarily
enlisted for the British or Canadian
army. Precautions have been pro-
vided to prevent the enlistment OF
American citizens"

SENDS
VETO OF S2.4O
WHEAT PRICES

President Wilson's promised veto
of the Agricultural Appropriation
bill fixing the minimum price of
wheat at s2.4o was sent to the
House yesterday. Attempts to Sc
cure immediate consideration of the
message with a view to having the
House recede from the amendment
were blocked by the absence Of a
quorum, only 200 members respond
ing to their names.
Chairman Lever, Of the Commit
tee on Agriculture. hopes to be able
to secure a majority today in favor
OF sustaining the veto. What the
Senate will do Is problematical, al
though II is believed it will also vote
to accept the Presidents view. A
strong majority in the Senate has
been holding out for a higher price
than that fixed by the Food Admin
istration, which is 1920. The $2.40
amendment was adopted in the
House by the vote of $50 to log.
storehouses Oyernowinx.
The Presidents reasons for Veto
ing the bill are that the price fixed
last year has had the effect of
stimulating production to such an
extent that the storehouses will be
overfiowing. and that a further in
crease in the price will raise the
cost OF flour and seriously interfere
with the purchase of the allies. An
increase in the cost of living and
a corresponding increase In wages
paid for labor. the President says.
would also result from higher
wheat price.
The President praises the farmers
Of the country for responding to the
appeal to plant larger crops and says
they are playing "a most admirable
and gratifying part in the mobiliza-
tion of the full resources Of the coun-
try"
