AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, Sept. 7. (Delayed.) In
British trench helmets and look
ing grim and warlike. the
American troops passed In review
before President Polncare, of the
French Republic, yesterday. They
were massed in great solid squares and
marching quickly to spirited American
music presented a spectacle of unusual
martial splendor. President Poincare,
addressing the troops later, said that
he had witnessed their demonstration
with great emotion and felt that
, events were ever bringing the French
and American peoples closer and closer
together.
The French President, accompanied
by Paul Painleve, Minister of War
and Marine; General Petain and sev
eral other French generals, was met at
the American field headquarters by
General Pershing and General Sibert.
Simplicity Mark Affair.
The President's reception was marked
by democratic simplicity. He was
dressed in his familiar blue knlcker
bocker suit with leather leggings and
wore, as usual, a simple blue yachting
cap. The review was held on the top
of a plateau in the American training
area and when President Polncare and
his party arrived early the troops
were drawn up at attention in regi
mental squarres, a formation which
seemed wonderfully formidable. Bands
stationed here and there about the
reviewing field launched Into the
strains of the Marseillaise as the
President's automobile flying the
French tri-color appeared over the
crest of the steep hilL The review
proceeded Immediately. President
Poincare saluted the American and
regimental flags as they passed. After
ward while the men stood at ease, all
of the officers of the expeditionary
force were detached and assembled in
a semi-circle about the President and
his party. General Pershing stepped
forward and addressed them briefly.
"We are being paid a great honor
today in the visit of the President of
the republic to which we have come to
do our share in the fight for liberty."
General Pershing said.
General Pershing then presented
President Polncare and the President,
stepping Into the semi-circle removed
his cap as he began to speak In a
clear far-reaching voice. He spoke in
French, but already a majority of the
officers of the expeditionary force are
acquainted with the language and they
followed each sentence closely.
"Translation Not Literal"
President Poincare concluded his ad
dress with the cry "Long Live Presi
dent Wilson! Long Live the United
, States!"
President Poincare was warmly ap
plauded and then the officers gave
three cheers and a tiger. The cheer
ing was taken up by the troops in the
distance and continued while the Presi
dent and his party were moving off
the reviewing field. One noncommis
sioned officer, who stood near the
. party during the speech, was greeted
by some of his men when he rejoined
' his command with the question:
"What did he say?"
. "I don't know exactly," was the
reply, "but I think he said to 'give "em
' hell.' " .
"That's the stuff," yelled a number
of privates in chorus and the word ran
- all up and down the long khaki lines
amid another outburst of cheering.

"THE STORE THAT UNDERSELLS BECAUSE IT SELLS FOR CASH!'
Teuton Leaders Said to Save Taken
Oath to Drive Italians From
Austrian Territory Ruins of
Selo Reduced to Dust.
ROME, Sept. '74 Italian pressure
against the Austrians In the region
northeast of Gorlzia is becoming de
cisive, the War Office announced to
day. The enemy has suffered extremely
heavy losses for several days In his
desperate resistance. The statement
says:
"Northeast of Gorlzia the enemy, hav
ing suffered heavy losses for several
days. Is making desperate resistance
against our pressure, which is con
tinued decisively. Yesterday three of
ficers and 201 men were made prisoner.
Airplanes Destroy Batteries.
"Our airplanes repeatedly destroyed
or threw into confusion enemy bat
teries in the Panovizza wood and the
Tern ova. forest and communicating
lines on the Carso."
TJDINE. Italy. Sept. 7. About 30.000
prisoners have been taken to date by
ne itaiians in their present offensive.
while the total losses of the Austrians
are estimated at 120,000.
The Austrian plan now seems to be
to abandon counter attacks and remain
on the defensive along the eastern
ridge of the Bainslzza plateau, where
tneir positions, such as Ceroek. Draira
and Volnlk, about 1000 feet high, dom
inate those occupied by the Italians by
several hundred feet, at the Earns time
centering the efforts of .their best
troops on the Carso in the hope of
checking the slow but determined
march of the Italians toward Trieste.
The Brestovlzza Valley, north of the
Hermada, has been transformed into
an Inferno, with thousands of guns
pouring shells from all directions Into
It, while the Austrian Infantry Inces
santly Is attacking. The Italians have
withstood no less than nine rushes o
the. Infantry from the opposite lines.
Sometimes their forces have had to
withdraw slightly, but immediately
have recovered the lost ground.
Field Heaped With Dead.
From the Hermada south to the sea
the Austrian infantry is attacking with
the same fierceness, and the battle is
raging uninterruptedly. The present
ffort Is considered the maximum one
of which the Austrians are capable.
The ferocity of the Austrian counter
attacks, in which the best fresh troops
were launched, column after column,
regardless of the enormous losses, is
explained by a council of war held re
cently under the presidency of Field
Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendorf and
attended by the ablest Austrian Gen
erals, Including Field Marshal von
Koevess and General Borcevtc They
are represented to have taken an oath
o drive the Italians from Austrian ter
ritory-
Sections of the battle field on which
these charges were made are literally
heaped with bodies. Austrian attacks
were directed with particular severity
against Selo, from which the Italians
threaten the northern slopes of the
Hermada, the key to Trieste. Selo was
in ruins when the Italians captured It.
Now the ruins have been pulverized.
The surrounding country - has been
plowed up by shells and all signs of
vegetation have disappeared.
