| AMERICAN PORT, WESTERN
FRANCE, Aug. 21.-Twelve O'Clock at
night all lights out ashore and anoat
heavy rain squalls sweeping out to
sea. and the great port dark and ST.
lent as the latest feet Of American
transports and convoys-13 monster
ships. 10 destroyers. $4,000 fighting
men and 5000 crew-creeps in from
the Atlantic.
With the American army escort we
had climbed to a high point on the
sea front to get glimpse Of this first
process in the gigantic military mi
grafton from America to Europe, the
greatest the world has ever known
and then to follow it, step by step, as
its vast and intricate activities I'M
folded, up to the arrival Of the men
on the fighting front.
The wireless station had received
cipher message giving warning Of
the approach of the fleet. It had been
hoped that the arrival would be in
daylight, with flags flying, bands play
Ing and the sun shining as the Ameri-
can fighting men got their first
glimpse OF Europe. But this is no
dress parade, said the Admiral, and
there is no time to fix stage effects.
And so at midnight in the rain and
darkness with signal lights showing
for the first time since they left the
other side, the huge flotilla moved in
long line OF lights to the sheltered
roadstead. There was the creak of
windlass chains as the anchors grip
ped
Mighty Stream Of Men.
And yet this midnight arrival in the
darkness an drain is only one Of the
steady succession of great armadas
coming every three or four days, in
the colosssl American military influx
which Secretary Baker gives at
275, 100000 men for a single month
These $4,000 men just in are the popu-
lation Of a good sized city; twice as
many men as were sent to Cuba for
the Spanish-American war; about
half the force Napoleon had at Water
loo when the destinies of Europe were
in the scale
And while this is one of the record
debarkments, yet it is only small
part of the mighty stream coming in
from the west. It is the unprece-
denied magnitude of such military
movement, across the ocean, in the
face of submarines, that has thrilled
the allied world and broken the spirit
of the adversary.
1t was a stirring scene in in the
harbor the morning following as the
transports unloaded their $4,000 men.

The Story of New Fall Dresses for
YOUNG WOmen-TOld in Blue Serge

It's a pleasing story-as the dresses will prove!
AS every girl will tell you, nothing quite takes the place of a blue
serge frock in her wardrobe, so that at least one blue serge dress is an
essential. "
The new dresses are of firm, al-wool serge and powell as can be,
from their youthful round necks to their fringe-edged tuncs. Some
are braided; quite a few are embroidered; some have white and others
colored silk collars; a few have the new jacket effect; others are high,
and still others long wasted; every last one is interesting for some
reason or other.
Prices begin at $50, go on up to $3.50, and the sizes are from IA
to 20 years, inclusive.
