Three Miles of American Dock at a

Spectacle Was a Stirring
Scene

American Port, Southwestern France,
Oct. l4.-t Correspondence Of the Asso-
ciated Press Eighteen big steamships
of 5000 to 5000 tons each were unload
ing American army goods at the rate Of
1000 tons day along the three miles
OF American docks here to-day, The
spectacle was a stirring scene Of actiyi-
ty. Crowds Of enlisted men, assisted at
the matches and manipulated the giant
cranes as big steel motor trucks were
lifted out bodily, along with parts Of
locomotives and railway cars, and all
the miscellaneous freight Of an army,
while an army Of negro stevedores kept
the steady stream Of goods moving back
to the nearby warehouses and trains.
Taking care Of this avalanche Of army
goods coming from America, is quite
as much Of a problem as taking care Of
the arriving troops. Here one obtains
an idea OF the mammoth proportions OF
the equipment which the Americans have
been compelled TO set up for this branch
Of the expedition.

OUR ALLIES IN PEACE NEGoTIA-
TIONS.

Before any definite move toward peace
can be made by the United States, our
government is in duty bound to consult
freely and unreservedly with Great Brit
ain France, Italy and our other allies in
the present war. Any action which
President Wilson might take in the pres
emit negotiations with Germany would
not. of course, be binding on our allies
and would not, indeed, be conclusive We
as nation are but a single unit, albeit
powerful; and we have not poured out
our blood for more than four years as
have Great Britain and France, for in
stance. They should have just as much
voice in the councils of peace as they
have in the councils of warand every
body admits that they have fully as
much voice in war councils as the United
States. There is nothing to indicate that
President Wilson took them into his con
fidence before making interrogations of
Germany respecting the fatherhood Of
the peace prolfer from Germany and
whether Germany accepted his proposals
as laid down in his speech of Jan. s. If
he did not take them into conference
then, he must do so before making fur
Their negotiations with Germany, Here
after it must be united action after
careful consideration by all the allies, as
well as by Field Marshal Foch, the leader
of the allied forces on the field. The
United States by reason Of its influential
position must not attempt to drag our
allies unwillingly into any course of ac-
tion. 1t would be more or less presump-
ton for us to do so.

LIBERTY LOAN MUST BE RAISED
ANYWAY.

The reported action of the German gov
eminent in accepting the proposals of
President Wilson as prerequisites to
peace should have no effect whatever on
the movement to complete the fourth
Liberty loan; it should not lessen the in
dividual responsibility of every American
to see that the loan is carried through to
a successful conclusion Whether or not
the reported acceptance Of the Wilson
peace principles shall amount to any
thing, it is certain that the United States
must have the money named as the goal
Of the fourth loan. All the estimates of
the government have been made on the
assumption that six billions of dollars
would be loaned to the government by
the American people; and no doubt
considerable portion of that money has
been spent, or rather the credit of the
government has been pledged for that
amount in lieu of the actual cash. There.
fore, it is necessary for the American
people to raise the six billions of dollars
to enable the government to carry on the
program mapped out The people of the
United States must lend during the pres
emit week slightly more than three bill
lions Of dollars to make up the balance
Of the desired sum still remaining I'M
pledged. This is a solemn obligation on
each and every one of us

BARRE, WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER?

As already stated, Barre has been
greatly handicapped in the raising of its
quota in the fourth Liberty loan, there
having been no concerted effort during
the first two weeks of the nationwide
campaign because Of the epidemic. New
ertheless a large number of people have
gone to the banks and entered subscrip-
tions, while others no doubt have delayed
in anticipation of personal solicitation.
1t is hoped that those persons will not
delay longer but will go at once to the
banks without being solicited and enter
the maximum of their capacity. There
are several thousand Barre people who
ought to be subscribers to this fourth
loan and it is going to be very hard
task to see all of them personally in the
few days remaining in the drive. There.
fore, they are earnestly requested to en-.
ter their subscriptions in order to tighten
the work of the canvass planned for the
latter part of the week

can docks or berths, at another port
eight, at a third four, another three
Here at this main port are American
docks each with a thousand feet OF
frontage.
These As docks at the five main ports
represent dock frontage Of about ten
miles, capable of unloading 10000 tons
Of army goods every day, or an average
Of about so pounds per man for every
one serving in France.
And yet, great as this present equip
ment is, ii represents only about third
Of the vast installation which is NOV
ing steadily forward to completion in
order to meet the needs OF an army OF
several million men The basis OF cal
culation for this huge work is 30 pounds
per day per man--this being an average
covering the whole range OF military
supplies, individual and general, food,
clothing, ammunition, guns, and all 9th
er army requirements.
On this established basis Of so pounds
per day per man, an army Of a million
men requires 50,000,000 pounds Of goods
daily, or $4,000 tons But as the Amer
lean army in Europe has long exceeded
the million mark. the scale of prepare
tion must be far in excess Of this 25,-
600 tons day, reaching not far from
the gigantic total Of 100000 tons daily,
to be unloaded from ships, stored in
warehouses and trans, and started on
IT'S way to the men at the front. II
Is this colossal daily requirement where
three shifts Of soldier workmen, work
ing night and day, are unloading scores
Of steamships.
Seven miles back from the water front
there is another huge American install
lation where goods from the ships are
stored on their way to the front 1t Is
gigantic. like everything in this vast
military influx, and when we visited it
to-day the l47th warehouse had just
been completed. Each warehouse IS 500
feet long and together they stretch along
four miles of front.
In the neighboring camp were 1000
negro troops and lalborers engaged in
the warehouse work. An American rail-
way system connects the waterfront d.
rectly with this storage plant and in
cessant streams Of army goods keep
moving forward to the warehouse plant.
The whole place fairly thrObs with ami
nation and besides the enormous indus
try there is the hustle and activity of
countless camps with their khaki tents
dotting the fields for miles along the
, railway.
Altogether, on the water front and re-
ceiving plant, the working force includes
$4,000 engineer troops, 1000 stevedores,
OOO ciyTiIian Iaborers 1000 German
prisoners and 1000 infantry, in all 80
900 men carrying on the American activ-
titles at this one port.
