American Press Headquarters. Brit
ish FrOnt.-We had an impressive IL
Iustration today of the accomplish
ments of the engineers in this war
when we drove into Ostend.
The chief of the American mission
at Belgian headquarters had warned
us dramatically against an attempt to
make the trip. At least three days
would be required, he said. The roads
were torn up by shells and mines and
congested with troops. Yesterday d
light car had taken twelve hours to
make twenty miles. But we started
out and had as smooth a road as any
boulevard in the middle West for the
entire distance. There were several
places where we had to make detours
through villages, and as the dozens of
bridges across the canal near Ostend
were all blown up we had to drive On
about five miles to temporary bridge
We averaged about thirty miles an
hour.
Soldiers Work in Rain.
Most of the road was kept up by
British labor battalions, excepting the
section near Christel, through the aw-
full Flanders swamps, where Belgian
soldiers worked necessarily in driv-
ing rain. We heard they had worked
all night without rest. and so auto
matte had their operations with pick
and shovel become that they did not
stop to look up when our speeding car
threw Shiny mire all over them. For
camp they used the long lines of
German pill-box forts. At one place
we saw about twenty of these squat
chambers, with walls three feet thick
and made of concrete, REINFORCED
with steel pipes. Direct shell hits ap-
parently bounced harmlessly Off these
forts. The twenty pill boxes in sight
were in straight row, and behind
them were a half-dozen larger ones to
protect the rear.
When we had passed the desolate
waste Of water. mud and swamp reeds
and got into other lowlands that had
been drained and tiled we saw more
pill boxes In reserve line. A Bel
gian peasant was using one as q
chicken house, and the low apertures
for machine guns lent themselves

he did more than any other one man

time. He will live forever in the
heart of the French ''poilu." He was
too good soldier to ask ANYTHING
better than that.

People of All Parties
Behind President
Remarkable Demonstration in Fa-
vor of President Repeated in
Majestic Theatre a Significant
Indication.

That the TIMES was right in its
insistence from the beginning that the
fight on Secretary of War Baker had
its genesis among certain powerful
interests whose private privileges
would have been interfered with. is
the statement of T. c. Hislop, of Chi
cago, who came here last week on
business in connection with his fruit
farm.
"Your position is undoubtedly cor
rect" he said chose interests saw
that their privileges would be endan-
gered by the International economic
proposals of the president and as they
did not dare make a frontal attack on
the great program of the president,
they made what they thought might
prove a successful flank movement.
got this from many private sources in
Chicago. Although a Democrat I live
in the strongest Republican ward in
the city and most of my friends are
Republicans, and / want to tell you
that it is an inspiring thing to see
the practical unanimity with which
these men lay aside partisanship and
get behind the administration to win
the war At first there was a ten
dency in some quarters to honestly
criticise Secretary Baker, but after he
made his explanation / heard many
prominent Republicans say that his
position was absolutely unassailable
This is the sentiment of the people
of Chicago. I shall relate one in
cident which I think throws some
light on this feeling:
Roosevelt has always been a sort
of popular idol in Chicago. Some
friends of mine went to the Majestic,
the great, high class vaudeville thea
ire nf tho CitU fn hnar aCnnpia w
good piece of music They arrived
Just before the musical production
was put on, and during the time when
a playlet was being acted, during
which the names of prominent men
were mentioned. This was about ten
days after Roosevelt made his trip to
Washington and his attack on the ad-
ministratiOn. When the name of
Roosevelt was mentioned, he did not
get a hand in the whole vast audi
ence. A moment later the name Of
Wilson was mentioned and the entire
house broke forth in spontaneous and
enthusiastic applause. This was re-
markable enough. But my friends
liked the music so we'll that they de-
cided to remain in the house and hear
it again, and of course, again heard
the same plavlet. The same thing
happened again. with new audience.
Roosevelt was ignored and the house
went wild over Wilson
This sufficiently indicates public
sentiment in Chicago regarding the
attempt to attack the administration
through the war department. The
problem of domestic politics there is
to make Mayor Thompson be reason
ably decent. which is proving an al
most impossible task"
