French forces now on the FROM
tier were announced to be as fol-
lows: 110,0 900 infantrymen; 3
corps Of cavalry; !, 900 guns, 300
airplanes.
The most important feature Of
the military preparations was be-
Iieved to be concentration of cav
airy at the Rhine bridgeheads,
serving as a threat to the Ger
mans before the actual advance
is begun.
In addition to the army Of oc-
cupation, other forces are await
ing the call to action. Notable
among these are the Colonial
troops, which again are arriving
by way of Marseilles.
1t became known today that
the government had reliable in
formation several days ago that
y
the Germans had decided not to
sign the Preparations agreement
and that Marshals Foch and
Wiegand Immediately drafted
plans for invasion of Germany.
The French press today called
loudly for decisive action despite
the apparent desire of British
authorities to await the inaugu.
guration of a new administration

ARMY HORSES ARE
KILLED TO SAVE
TRANSPORTATION
tBy Associated Press)

London, July 14-Horse lovers
throughout the country have been
shocked by Colonial Secretary VIM
sston Churchill's announcement in
the House of Commons that 10000
army horses in Mesopotamia are to
be- killed because it is too expensive
to bring them home.
1t was explained that they are
mainly heavy draft horses for which
there is no local use, and that they
had to be fed on imported fodder.
The nearest possible markets are In
dia or Egypt, but the difficulties and
cost of transportation thence are
said to be prohibitive.
Shipping men say it costs 40 to
$50 to bring horse from the Sast
to England, not counting horsemen's
wages.
The war Office view is that IL is
better for the horses to be killed hui
namely and scientifically than to be
left in the hands of natives who
would not care for them properly,
and no one would suggest turning
them adrift in the desert.

FOCH DELAYS HIS
 DEPARTURE So HE
 CAN GREET TOTS
Came to America Because He Loves This Land and Wanted to Show His
 Appreciation
By Associated Press

Kansas City, November 2,--Marshal Fooh stayed here today rather than disappoint several thousand school children who had been told they might get q chance to see him. The marshal had expected to go to Fort Leavenworth. Kan, but on learning of the plan to have the school chil- dren lined up along the boulevards that he might wave to them, and they to him. he postponed his departure. Lieut.. Gen. Baron Jacques. of Bel gium accompanied him on the boule- yard tour Both military leaders were waving continuously to the school children for several miles,
 Then the marshars car stopped at the convent school of the Sisters of Notre Dame De Sion, where seven lit- tie girls, dressed in white and With the French tri-color In their hands, made a speech in French to the mar shal. who responded. The school is conducted for pupils from the kin dergarten age up to 12 or 14.
 "Children.' the Marshal said, in response to the greetings. T came to America because I love this land, wanted to show my appreciation, We have been friends in war. we must be friends in peace. You boys, when you grow up, must work; you lttue girls, when you are women, must re- member to pray"
 When the formal programme was concluded the marshal started to en- ter his car. Then he changed his mind. He was tired. and he asked the head of the school whether he might not rest a moment in the par Tor of the school.
 Waving aside the Count DeCham- brun, who has been acting as official interpreter, and the immediate staf' the marshal went alone to the con vent parlor. He leaned back in chair and closed his eyes. But the marshal was not to take nap Sew eral little girls tiptoed to the door of the parlor to peek at hlm. The marshal of France saw them, bright eyed and bashful, and beckoned them in.
 Soon others. abashed and delighted. sideled in, and stood on one foot ana al other beside the marshal's char and smiled at him and answered ms questions as to their names and ages. They did not need the services or the Count De Chambrun, for the SIS ters had taught them all to speak French. though some of them spoke ltsningly. When the marshals ~ minutes were up, he shook hands with the little boys gravely anu kissed the little girls, and there were great tears in his eyes, for today was the anniversary of the death ol Marshal Foch's son, who gave his life in the war.

House Throws Out
 Kennamer Contest
 By Unanimous Vote
By HUGH W. RoBEItTs Washington Bureau. The Age Herald
 800 Davidson Build nR.

Washington, November 2.-(Spe- ciai.)-It was sad day for Alabama republicans, who have boasted per- ennially of their strength in the Sev. enth district of Alabama.
 The House, by an unanimous. vote and without discussion. followed the action of the elections committee in throwing out the contest instituted by c. B. Kennamer. republican. against L. B. Rainey. democratic in eumbent.
 Representative Sweet of Iowa read to the House the result of the elec- tion in the Seventh. He stated that Kennamer had received too few votes. He then read the report of the com mittee. The report was adopted without a word of protest.
 The republicans of the Seventh had been led to believe, it is understood. that they had simply to make out q reasonable case and allege fraud, and that the overwhelming majority of the House would do the rest.
 But. irrespective of the sentiment of the overwhelming majority the contest was based on grounds too flimsy. The House action terminates the tempest in a teapot.
