day

BREST, June 30-Two French civil
ians were killed and five American sol
diers and sailors were injured severely
and more than 100 wounded in riots
here last night. Two of the American
soldiers are expected to die. The casu-
alties occurred as q result of the ex-
change of shots between American mill
tary and naval police and French sail
ors.
The trouble began, according to avail
able accounts, when an American naval
officer, who is said to have been drink
ing heavily, tore down French flag and
tramped on it. A crowd of Frenchmen
attacked the officer and, it is said,
kicked and beat him until he was un-
conscious.
Americans who passed by and who
were not aware of the cause of the fight
went to the aid of the naval officer The
fight then became more general. A mob
of French civilians, soldiers and sailors
attempted to rush hotel where Ameri
can officers were quartered. They
burned sentry box and threw stones
at Americans in uniform wherever they
found them. The Americans, it is said
retaliated.
A company of marines with fixed bay
onets was hurried to the scene and the
Americans soon restored order. Admira
Salaun, the French naval commander al
Brest ordered the marines to return t.
their barracks. AS the marines marched
back to their quarters, it is declared
they were pursued by a mob throwing
stones and bricks. The city was quie
