Former German Liners Now , Carry U. S. Troops to France

AMERICAN NAVAL BASE. France, Oct. 28. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) The latest convoy of American transports arrived at non today,' and it was an inspiring scene to see this stately procession under the bright midday sun, with a stiff breeze whipping the flags, the decks crowded with American soldiers, and the piers and castle wals black with cheering people, as the fleet moved majestically past the outer capes to the sheltered inside harbor. Often the entrance is under cover of darkness, to cheat the submarines which have appeared of late off the harbor mouth. But the entrance today was in broad daylight so that the whole city had a chance to trun out and see the sight. It was just 11:40 when the first destroyer was seen in the silvery water out between the capes. At that distance, three miles, it looked only a speck as it turned the capes, leaving a thread of smoke behind. This was the scout shipe, far ahead, piloting the way and on the lookout for any danger along the path. It came straight into the harbor, its work done, while the main fleet, keeping compactly together, began to , file between the capes. Ahead was a large destroyer with-four stacks, and behind it on either flank two other four-stackers. This was the forward protecting barrage of destroyers in a great arc. Now a huge prow pushed out beyond the white cliff of the cape, and grew gradually towering decks, funnels, belching smoke, and then the mammoth hull of a 20,000-ton transport, formerly a German trans-Atlantic liner. Soon another appeared another former German liner and then still another German liner. Off to the right of fhe big ships was a line of destroyers the starboard barrage and to the left another line, the port barrage, and astern was another one of destroyers form ing the rear arrage. Thus enveloped, the big ships passed into the anchorage, the destroyers drew off to their buoys, and soon lighters were alongside bearing ashore this new consignment of many thousand American troops. It is a scene oft repeated now as day after day and night after night, J but often as it is, it is always a stir ring sight, and one which makes the blood tingle, as these thousands of gghting men pour out of the west. The American Naval Base presented a wonderful panorama this bright day, spread out across the water and along the shore. Besides the fleet which had just arrived there was the throb of huge naval activity ashore and afloat, over twenty miles of shoreline enveloping this deep blue basin. In Court Records CRUELTY CHARGED. Evidence in the divorce suit of Mamie Brooks against Francis M. Brooks charging him with cruel and inhuman treatment, was submitted to the court this morning.

front lay a score of the big transports which had come during the last week, most of them like those just in, German liners. "The orinay of fate," rearked the observer as he pointed out the many German ships freighted with American troops, v" "The army of fate," remarked the left. On the decks lay long lines of stretchers, each bearing a wounded soldier, bathing in . the sunlight and salt air. "They are going home," said the navy doctor. "They are cases in which the wounds Incapacitate them from returning to military service legs off arms off, or other permanent disability. But they are well enough along to recovery to permit traveling, and so they are going home for their wooden legs and arms, and after that, well." - . At 6 o'clock tonight Ave hours after the fleet of transports had reached the anchorage, the huge debarkment had been accomplished, and the last man was ashore and in camp.

MANY LIVES LOST IN JAPAN STORM (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Oct8.

FRENCH FORCE Continued Frorr, Page One. " In the neighborhood of Valenciennes the British are still fighting their way ahead, but their progress over the restricted front between Mormal forest and the bend of the Scheldt is quite slow. Farther north, the enemy seems to have established himself strongly behind the Scheldt, and only local successes by the allies are reported. There is no evidence of lowered morale in the savage resistance of the Austrians before the Italian atack in the Brenta and Piave sectors in Italy. It would appear that the allied forces there have not been able to move ahead except by dint of terrific effort and at a very slow pace. It seems probable that the offensive will develop into a reconnaissance in force instead of a real offensive. General Allenby's forces in Palestine have occupied Aleppo and appear to have virtually completed the destruction of Turkish power in Syria. The way is now open for a junction between the army of Allenby and the one moving up the Tigris SPANISH STEAMER SUNK. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 The navy department was informed today that the Spanish steamship Chataiio was sunk last night off the coast of New Jersey, probably by striking a mine.

Germany's Answer To President Wilson

Germany's answer to Presi dent Wilson's latest communi cation says: "The German government has taken cognizance of the answei4 of the President of the United States. "The President is aware of the far-reaching changes which have been carried out and are being carried out in the German constitutional structure, and that peace negotiations are be ing conducted by a people s government in whose hands rests, both actually and constitutionally, the power to make the deciding conclusions. "The military powers are also subject to it. "The German government now awaits proposals for an armistice, which shall be the first step toward a just peace, as the president has described it in his proclamation. (Signed) SOLF." ! CENTERVILLE, IND Isaac Rentfrow was thrown from a wagon which he was driving and fractured a leg. ' The horse became frightened near the home of Mrs. Dora Brumfield, throwing him out near there.

No Buying From America After War, Is Now German Watchword AMSTERDAM, Oct 26 "No buying from America if it can possibly be avoided," must be the German watchword after the war, is the assertion of the Rhenish Wrestphalian Gazette, an important German industrial organ. The reason given by the paper is that, before the war, the balance of trade between the United States and Germany was against Germany to the extent of nearly 1,000,000,000 marks a year. Germany imported from the United State goods to the value of 1,711,000,000 marks, while German exports to the United States amounted to 713,000,000 marks. Dividends on German holdings of American securities, in addition, helped to pay the bill for goods bought in America. "How could we possibly meet a still further increased debit balance," asks the paper in despair. "We had to realize our American securities to pay for raw materials while the United States was still neutral, to meet demurrage on our ships held in American ports." The conclusion seems inevitable to the Gazette that Germany must so curtail her cotton and copper imports from the United States that they do not exceed, or only slightly exceed, her own exports of fertilizers, dyes, chemicals, etc. The rest of Germany's erstwhile imports from America, it says, can and must be stricken off the list. "Our imports of American agricultural machinery must cease," says the writer. The openings offered in Russia, Rumania and the Balkans are so great that we must push our own machinery there with all our might." NEW BRIDGE MAY BE COMPLETED BY NEXT SUMMER The Main street bridge may be completed by July, 1919. Three factors will decide the issue, namely, an open winter, material, and labor supplyThe centering and false work, preliminary to pouring the east 125-foot arch span are under construction. If this work can be pushed to completion late in November, much of the massive work of the new structure will be out of way. In the last three days enough cement has arrived to carry on the work until cold weather sets In. "We are planning to carry on the work throughout the winter," said Mueller. "The winter work will consist of form building. An open winter will be of great assistance to us." ORDERED TO ARTILLERY SCHOOL Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dalbey left Monday afternoon for Bloomington to visit their son, Raymond, who expects to leave for West Virginia some time Tuesday. Dalbey was in the Students' Army Training Corps at Indiana University and received orders to go to a coast artillery training school in West Virginia. When John Elbridge Mitchell, of Winthrop, Me., went into the service his sister, Miss Tbelma, promptly went to work in her father's garage. -

London Waiters Added to List of War Profiteers (By Associated Press) ' LONDON, Oct. 26. London waiter have been added to the long list of war profiteers and their medium for gouging is the food coupon. Unless one carefully watches his coupon book he will lose enough of the precious tickets at one meal to last him for a week. v.Most restaurant managements have a rule that the waiter cannot remove a meat coupon it must be done by the cashier and the coupons will not be accepted if clipped by the customer. Very few cashiers take too many coupons but they disappear during the trip of the waiters from the customer to the cashier. The stolen coupons are used to extract good tips from strangers who

have not been in town long enough to get a coupon book. Meat is ordered by the stranger, the coupons demanded, the lack of coupons explained and then a hint that it may be arranged without the coupon. If the tip is satisfactory, the meat Is produced. The stranger and the waiter profit by the theft from the permanent residence. AIDED PERSHING IN ST. MIHIEL DRIVE General Castelnau. General Castelnau's name has become synonymous with victory.

He has lost three of his rive sons in the war, two of them falling: almost at his feet. He is one of three or four leaders who can lay claim to the title of Franco's greatest military leader.
