were killed and five American soldiers

more than 100 wounded in riots here last

the exchange of shots between American
military and naval police and French
soldiers.
The trouble began, according to avail
able accounts, when an American naval
officer, who is said to have been drinking
heavily, tore down a French flag and
trampled on it. A crowd of Frenchmen
attacked the officer and, it is said, kicked
and beat him until he was unconscious
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 moo of French civilians and soldiers
and sailors attempted to rush the Hotsl
Moderne, where American officers were
quartered. They burned sentry box
and threw stones at Americans in uni
form 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. Admir-
al Henri Salaun, the French naval COM
msnder at Brest, ordered the marines to
return to their barracks As the marines
marched back to their quarters. it is de-
clared, they were pursued by mob
throwing stones and bricks,
