Blame U. s. senate.
There was a decided tendency in
both London and Paris to blame part
OF Germany's beltigerent attitude
upon the failure of the United States
Senate to accept the peace treaty.
The Senate's action, in the opinion of
many. has led Germany to believe
she may be able to secure moderation
of the admittedly harsh terms.
In Washington the American State
Department announced there were
1900 Yankee doughboys along the
Rhine, probably available to Marshal
F'och if he orders an advance into
Germany.

British officials with "misrepresent-

salvaged warship, Emden.

the harth)r to be of commanding i'm.
portance, decided to establish the en-
barkation and rest camps outside of
the town.
They worked wonders in doing so,
and despite the manifest discomforts
of daily rains and perpetual mud
they have in PountaneZen provided
halfway station between the battle
front and home which is second to
none in the world. Pountanezen Is
about seven or eight miles outside of
the town itself. Its present capacity
is about 10000. Within three months
it will have been expanded to take
care of 10000.
The embarkation hospital at Ker-
huOn, separated only few hundred
yards from Pountanezen, will ulti-
mately have capacity for caring for
1900 cases. 1t can now care for
between six and seven thousand. Both
plants are near completion. The plans
when finally worked out will provide
accommodations for three-fifths of the
military establishment maintained by
the United States on European soil.
1t is a gigantic task, this making a
new city for the care of both the sick
and well, but 1t is one that the men
intrusted with the work believe they
can accomplish under the most un.
favorable circumstances.
AS it assumes the form of its chief
Importance all European roads will
lead to Brest.
To Keep the Well Diverted.
The big thing, as the responsible
officials view it, Is to provide the
healthy men with diversion to keep
them not only out of mischief but in
good spirits while waiting for trans
portation. Men who have been living
next door to death and constantly I'M
der the thunder Of great guns are
finding life at detention and intern
ment camps rather undressing It
is the purpose Of the officials respon-
sible for their welfare to keep them
occupied so that they will not miss
the tumult of war or brood too much
upon the delay Of getting home.
Up to date the chief occupation Of
the 10000 men who are conferred here
has been confined to speculation as to
dates Of departure and taking close
up view of the few attractions Of
Brest.
Some idea Of the native entertain
ment is furnished by the fact that
! there Is only one moving picture show
! In the town. Severe restrictions are
: placed upon the ventures Of the
doughboys in the night life of the

not particularly attractive. Their
faces are not lacking In qualities Of
classical beauty, although their hands
and feet are not the sort that inspire
the sculptor or painter to reproduce
them in mud, marble or on canvas.
The military police keep pretty
sharp eye on the men In Khaki, and
the penalties for attractions Of army
law are pretty severe.

quently fluctuates between 40 and 55.
The men are well fed and comfort
ably housed. The mothers of some of
them would probably raise their
hands in horror at one or two features
Of their daily life, but the health re-
ports Of the camp furnish substantial
proof that the precautions taken by
the government are working out much
more satisfactorily than the regimen
inspired by home influence.
The army and navy officials point
with pride to the fact that in one day
$4,000 American troops debarked at
Brest, and that during the next day
5000 were added to the total. This
means Hat an aggregation of fighting
men one-hah the size Of the mobile
army Of the United States four years
ago was dumped into the mud at
Brest by convoy of the most i'm
pressive ships that ever sailed the
main-the Levlathan, Mount Wash
ington, President Grant, George
Washington, President Lincoln, La
France, Paris and the Lutetia.
Medical Regulations Rigid.
The medical regulations that prevail
in the chief American military de-
barkation port are most rigid. No
soldier is permitted to enter or leave
the camp without thorough exami-
nation and when he receives his ticket
to 60 aboard ship to go home he must
be 100 per cent physically.
Arriving by train from interior
points his clothing is taken from him
and is subjected to a process that
precludes the possibility of infection
or insect life. He gets a complete
new outfit and many other convent
ences that were not possible while
he was up near the fighting line.

AMERICAN SOLDIER
KILLED BY GERMANS
Two Soldiers Fired Upon While Deer
Hunting.

Coblenz Saturday, Sept. 6-(By
the Associated Press.) = Private
Reass Madsen of Sacramento, CAL,
was shot and instantly killed today
by German soldiers in the neutral
zone about mile from the boundary
of the Coblenz bridgehead.
Madsen and Private Bert Balsinger
of the Eight Infantry, who had been
on outpost duty, were deer hunting
when they encountered German pa
troll of thirteen soldiers. According
to Balsinger, the Germans began fir
ing without asking an explanation as
to why the two Americans were in
the neutral zone.
Balsinger told the American au-
thorities that when he and Fadsen
encountered the Germans he was sew
eral yards ahead of Madsen. Balsin-
ger said he dropped his rifle as soon
as he saw the Germans who a second
afterwards began to shoot at Madsen.
The Germans contend that Madsen
fired at them. Balsinger declared that
the Germans fired first and that if
Madsen had fired he did not see him
shoot or hear the shot.
Balsinger was taken prisoner by
the Germans and later turned over to
the American provost marshal, Major
George Cockerell, and brought to CO.
