BREST. Feb. .24.-While every ef-
fort is being strained here to get the
boys home as fast as possible. it is
not a rush. The reason is that Brest,
having outdistanced all other ports
in the great race for Berlin, has no
serious competitors in the race for
home.
"The race for Berlin" was be-
tween Brest, Bordeaux, St. NazaIre,
Havre, Marseilles, Boulogne and Ca
lais. 1t began in November. 1917.
and was designed to show which port
organization was the most efficient.
Brest, accomplished eight weeks theO-
retical work in forwarding troops and
material in six weeks and two days.
When the armistice was signed
976146. troops had passed through
this port. The first boat, arriving in
November, 1917, required seventeen
days to discharge its cargo. On May
"a, 1918. sixteen boats arrived with
42.152 troops, and were discharged
within 'twenty-four hours. Only July
Is. $4,000 troops were discharged in
twelve hours
The Leviathan, on its first trip to
LiverpooI-the worlds greatest har-
bor-spent forty-two days there. be-
fore its return to America. On its
second trip to Liverpool il spent
thirty days. She arrived in Brest on
May ., with S.S42 troops, discharged
them, recoaled, and departed in eigh-
ty-one hours. The next day a Brit
ish official arrived in Brest TO sec
if it were possible for the Americans
to better Liverpoors record. He
found the ship gone.
Sims Kicks Hat To Ceiling.
Admiral Sims, receiving a message
relating to the performance, thought
there was mistake and asked for
verification. The confirmatory mes
sage was received while he was in
the office of a British admiral. He
kicked his hat to the ceiling and
shouted.
On its next trip the Leviathan dis
charged 1O,3SS troops in 29l: hours
and recoaIed in 4915 hours.
There is the pleasanter side nf
Brest's activities during the trying
months when there was just one mo
tive actuatinE the American army and
the American people-to get the men
to the front. These records were

The Fight With "FIu."
In August the city of Brest suffered
an influenza epidemic. There were
many deaths among the French in
habitants, but the army's precautions
prevented the disease from spreading
to the troops working on the docks
and at Camp Pontanezen. The same
was true when transports began ar
irving from America, bringing vic
Tins of influenza and pneumonia. The
first Of these ships were the Won
Steuben and Louisville, which reached
here September 4, 1918. with a hun
dred dead and hundreds of sick
aboard.
One unforgettable night was that
OF October Il. when the Leviathan ar
rived with hundreds i'll and many
dead. Brigadier General Butler, for
mer colonel of the Thirteenth Ma
rines, had just been given commanG.
That night he sent a thousand ma
