1t. Vincent Astor
Back at Desk; His
War Job Finished
Started Two Years Ago TO
Bring Back German Sub
marine; He Docked 1t in
Brooklyn Yard Yesterday

Back at his private desk in the Of
fees of the Astor estate, Lieutenant
Vincent Astor yesterday exchanged his
navy job for that of being just civil
ian. On the day before, Lieutenant Astor
had piloted the German submarine
U-117 to berth in the New York Navy
Yard. AS he ran up the gangplank to
greet his wife he said that, having done
as he said he would when he started
for the war two years before-brought
back German submarine with him
he was ready TO return to private life.
In discussing himself Lieutenant
Astor was like the proverbial clam.
He was all enthusiasm over the navy,
the prize ship he brought into port
and the part America played in the
war One thing that seemed to puzzle
hlm, however, was why it was consid-
cred necessary to bring the U-117 over
here to help boost the Victory Loan.
There shouldn't be any need to
boost that loan in any way" said
Lieutenant Astor II should think the
people would be so anxious to show
just how proud they are of the part
America played in the war they would
subscribe the full amount over night"
On the U-117, however, it was pos
sible to find plenty willing and ready
to talk of Lieutenant Astor. The con-
sensus of opinion was that he was "a
regular fellow who knew his game as
we'll as the best of thein.'
Not only Lieutenant Astor, bu. the
men who sailed the U-117 across the
Atlantic, we're enthusiastic over her.
"The ship is undoubtedly the last word
in German underspas craft - snid ;o,,
tenant Astor. eve made the trin
across without the slightest sign Of
trouble Of any kind, and that, too.
despite the fnct that we encountered
'nodcrately bad weather most Of the
Way.'

Pre-Dreadnought Minnesota
Has Hard Time Warping
Into Hoboken Pier

The cruiser Huntington and the pre-
dreadnought Minnesota, bringing 3,237
officers and men from overseas, we're
the only transports to arrive here yes
terday of q fleet Of seven that we're
expected
The Huntington slipped easily into
the new 1900 feet dock of the Army
Base in South Brooklyn, but the Min
nesota, which was ordered to Pier g,
Hoboken, had difficult time warping
in with the strong food tide. The
Minnesota, which is a cumbersome YES
sci TO handle. was in command Of Cap
tain G. l.. Husscy, L. S. n. He came
up to the pier and had little tug assist
ance in putting the big vessel into
dock
Three Attempts to Dock
His first effort was without success
and he dropped back into the stream
and tried it again. This time he was
almost in position to glide in easily
when the tide caught him and he had
to drop away again. 1t was decided by
those in charge of the docking at the
port of embarkaton to abandon the
effort until this morning, but Captain
Hussey was confident that he could put
his ship in and on the third attempt he
was successful.
The Huntington brought home 2,O33
officers and men, many of them belong
ing to the Rainbow Division. With
them came Brigadier General George
G. Gately, whose artillery brigade sup
ported practically every American com
bat regiment in France.
During our service" he said, eve
fired about 100000 rounds of ammun-
tlon and our heaviest barrage was laid
down in the Argonne, where we broke
part of the famous German line. We
fired 100000 rounds within seven hours
in this conflict. Fritz never recovered
fully from that pounding, and that is
about all | care to say about our often
sive.'
Mothers to Meet Men
Senator Frank B. Kellogg, of Mime
sofa, went to Brooklyn to meet the
troops on the Huntington, most of
them being from Minnesota. He was
accompanied by Mayor Meyers of Min
neapolis and Mayor Hodgson of St.
Paul, and in a brief talk to the troops
told them that 100 mothers of the men
on board were on their way from the
West and would meet their sons at
camp to-day.
Among the returning fighters was
Colonel George f. Leach, a former in
surance broker of Minneapolis and Ma
tional Guardsman of Minnesota. He
vas in command of the 151st Field Ar
tillery Colonel Leach said that thirty
OF his men were decorated for con
spicuous bravery. He himself received
the d. s. G., the Croix de Guerre with
star. and palm and the French Legion
Of Honor.

Requirements Poorly Trained
Colonel Donovan, commander of the
165th Infantry, said last night, at the
dinner in honor of the regiments Off
GERS at Sherry's, that many replace.
France were improperly trained. He
attributed this to faulty military policy
on this side.
Colonel Donovan said that on one
occasion 400 replacement troops sent
to his regiment had never handled a
rife, while 500 other men, who arrived
on the eve of ar important engage
ment had never had training in pro
tecting them selves against gas attacks

training the new men. He urged the
necessity of universal military train
ing as the only means of avoiding
