FRENCH PORT. July 8. Equipped with supplies, for which they have been waiting since their arrival a week ego. the American troops encamped here to day began an intensive schedule of 'training, including long, strenuous marches about the country. This sched ule will continue every day except to- . morrow, which will be celebrated as a holiday by relaxation,' games and band l music. The sailors here with the convoying .-hips have already begun baseball games, and a genuine championship contest is planned for the Fourth If the Rhips are still here. The Toung Men's Christian Associa tion has added materially to the sol diers 'and sailors' comforts by install ing tents where the men can obtain reading matter. The camp gradually Is growing in size so as to be able to re ceive larger contingents of men in the future. , Hen la Excellent Health. The men here are in excellent health, only a few suffering from mumps and measles contracted before - they left America. A FRENCH PORT, July t. (De layed.) The last units of the American expeditionary forces, comprising ves sels loaded with supplies and horses, arrived here today amid the screeching of whistles and sirens. Their coming, one week after the first troops landed, was greeted almost as warmly as the arrival of the troops themselves, be cause it meant complete success of the undertaking. Many of the American soldiers crowded down to the wharf to greet the last ships of the expedition, and the American vessels in the harbor, which had made up previous contin gents of the force, joined In the wel come. The late arrival of the supply ships was due not only to later de parture from America, but to the fact that the vessels were slower than those which had come before. The delay caused little anxiety, although it worked temporary Inconvenience to the troops, who had been waiting for materials to work with. Horses Permitted to Rest. The arrival of the supplies makes an early getaway for permanent train ing camps possible, for the troops will need to wait only long enough for their horses to get the kinks out of their legs, as one officer expressed It today. One battalion leaves today for Paris to parade on the Fourth of July, and leaves the day followig for its permanent training camp, to be located behind the front "somewhere In France." The departure of these troops will be the forerunner of a general exodus of the men arriving during the past week, although exact dates have not yet been determined. rtobably the happiest man In port today was Rear-Admiral Gleaves, com mander of the convoy. From the bridge of his flagship he watched the successful conclusion of his plans with characteristic modesty and insisted upon bestowing the lion's share of credit for the crossing on the naviga tion officers of his command. Plans Minutely Carried Oot Sketching briefly the advance plans whereby all units of the contingent had to keep in daily rendezvous with accompanying warships, he. said that thanks to his navigating officers and despite overcast skies which made as tronomical observations impossible, each rendezvous had been minutely and accurately kept by each unit. The orders he Issued at the outset, which comprised scores of details, were ob served, the Admiral declared, with such exactness that the contingent units and convoying warships invari ably met each other within a half hour of the appointed time. This exactness on the part of the navigation officers, the Admiral said, undoubtedly was responsible in no mall degree for the brilliant success of the entire undertaking, because, thanks to it, the troop and supply ships were never for a moment retarded. Emergencies Provided For. The Admiral allowed the Associated Press correspondent a glimpse into some details of the exhaustive prepara tions for departure from America, which of necessity provided against every routine occurrence and countless emergencies. Without going Into de tail, he pointed out that these prepara tions included minute plans, about movements, signalling and even dis posal of the vessels' garbage, so that no tell-tale trail might be left. A big contributing factor In the crossing, according to officers of both branches of the service, was the hearty co-operation between the Army and Navy. From the time Of the departure until the present there had been not the slightest suggestion of friction, they declared, and co-ordination had played Its part distinctively In the suc cess of the expedition. An American War Department offi cial arrived1 here today to Inspect local conditions and report what needs exist that can be supplied from Washington. The officer has been making arrange ments wherever American forces are located, or will be located, in France. REV. DR.

Secretary Baker wrote the following letter to Secretary Daniels conveying the Aptny's thanks to the Navy: "Word has Just come to the War Department that the last ships convoy ing General Pershing's expeditionary force to France arrived safely today. As you know, the Mvy assumed the re sponsibility for the safety of these ships on the sea and through the dan ger zone. The ships themselves and their convoys were in the hands of the Navy, and now that they have arrived, ana carried, without the loss of a man, our heroes who are the first to repre sent America In the battle for democ racy, I beg leave to tender to you, to the Admiral and to the Navy the hearty thanks of the War Department and of the Army. This splendid achievement Is an auspicious beginning and It has been characterized throughout by cor dial and effective co-operation between the two military services." The hews of the arrival of the sup ply and animal ships was received by officials here with undisguised relief and Joy. Secretary Daniels hastened to Secretary Baker's office with his ca blegram and exchanged hearty con gratulations. President Wilson was notified and tehn the War Secretiary turned to his secretary and dictated his letter, ex pressing the Army's (gratitude to the Navy for its splendid service. No details to add to Secretary Dan iels' statement will be made public for the present. Nor will officials discuss further the significance of the fact that the Germans had advance knowl edge of the American armada's coming. Every possible effort is being made to search out the avenue of communica tion and identify the spies, whose effi ciency was disclosed when the Germans were Informed In advance of the cross ing of the American destroyer flotilla sent to Europe soon after war was de clared to exist. Secretary Daniels tonight cabled con gratulations to Rear-Admiral Gleaves and to Vice-Admiral Sims, commanding naval forces in European waters. PARIS, July 8. The American troops now at a French port will begin going to training camps for instructions be hind the lines by the end of this week, it was announced this morning. Battalion Is la Paris. The first contingent may start thence after the Fourth of July celebration. A battalion of American troops ar rived In Paris this morning to parade on July 4. The Americans were greeted by wildly enthusiastic crowds, which packed the streets through which they marched to Neuilly Barracks, where they are quartered. The officers are being entertained at the Military Club. The Americans arrived at the Auster Uts Btatlon at 7:40 o'clock, having been 36 hours on the way from the Fench port at which they debarked. Girls Pin Bsaaarti on Troops. Headed by their own band, the sol diers, carrying their rifles and field packs, fell In and marched off to the barracks. The crowds waved American and French flags. Hundreds of Amer icans were In the throng at the sta tion. As the troops swung through th streets' French girls pinned bouquets and American flags on the soldiers' breasts. Flowers were scattered along the route. The band played "Yankee Doodle," "Dixie," "Marching Through Georgia" and other American airs. French soldiers on leave grasped the hands of the Americans and marched beside them. Several times groups of shopgirls on their way to work slipped through the police lines and kissed the soldiers, to their great embarrassment. Now and then an American voice could be heard calling out, "Hello, boys." "Welcome to Paris," or "Good luck." When the regi mental colors were carried past, the men bared their heads. The Americans were greatlyyurprlsed to see a number of children kneel in the street as the flag was carried by. They were or phans from an institution in the neigh borhood. The soldierly bearing of the men Im pressed the military observers. They were lean and brown and the new field packs gave them quite a different appearance from British or Continental soldiers. jfil fj ' Easiness as Usual No. 7.

Wash ington, July 8. Senator McNary has received a telegram from the Portland Chamber of Commerce In reply to his message of Saturday indicating that the chief concern In Portland Is over the price of fuel oil and coal, rather than over the supply available. The telegram, however, said that local dealers are warning customers that a shortage later may develop. The Senator said that there Is today no law authorizing the Council of Na tional Defense or other governmental bodies to fix the price of fuels, though such authority Is conferred upon the President by the pending food bill as amended In the Senate, and In the view he was sustained by the Counoll of Defense, with whom ha conferred to night. The Council, however, told the Sen ator that In anticipation of action by Congress, the Oregon Counoll of De fense at once might make a thorough investigation of the fuel situation in Portland and throughout Oregon to de termine not only the supply of fuel available and in prospect, but prices, present, past and threatened, and also determine how the transportation prob lem enters into both the supply and price of fuel. The Senator telegraphed the Chamber the results of his In quiries and suggested such an Investi gation, promising to lay the state Council's report before the National Council and before th Trade Com mission.
