FRANCE TURNS CITY
OVER TO AMERICANS
Pershing Force Is to, Police
Town and Deal With
. All Disputes.
SPIRITUOUS LIQUOR FORBID
Commander-in-Chief of Expedition
Smashes Military Formality in
Eagerness to See Admiral
in Command of Fleet.
A FRENCH PORT, Thursday, June 28.
"-(Delayed by Censor.) The French
authorities today turned over to the
American military police the neces
sary authority for maintaining discip
line in this town which is now over
whelmingrly American in appearance and
public life. In order to assist the
Americans to keep order, however, the
authorities have issued new and strin
gent regulations which forbid the sale
f spirituous liquors to any man in uni
form, which regulate the hours the
men may be admitted to or served in
cafes and restaurants and which speci
fy that disputes and disorders shall be
referred to and decided by the Ameri
cans. In addition an unofficial warning has
gone out to cafe and restaurant pro
prietors, specifying- what prices they
may charge for the most common com
modities, especially food and drink. The
new order permits those attaches to the
military admission to cafes only be
tween the hours of 8 P. II. and 9 P. M.
on week days and from 10 o'clock in
the morning to 9 o'clock In the evening
on Sundays and restaurants between
10 o'clock in the morning: and 2 o'clock
In the afternoon on week days and from
S to 9 in the evening on Sundays.
Men on Leave Are Freer.
Officers and men on leave are per
mitted a little more liberty. No one
in uniform may utilize the popular
French "terraces" sidewalk seats
until after 5 o'clock in the evening. The
ban on spirituous liquors means that the
troops here will henceforth be able to
order only beers and light wines.
The American commander, after a
morning spent in inspecting the camp
occupied by the soldiers who had been
disembarking steadily from the trans
ports, went aboard the flagship and ate
luncheon with Rear Admiral Gleaves.
Afterward both officers received the
French and American newspaper men.
Admiral Gleaves welcomed them and
then General Pershing said to their
guests:
"This is the happiest of the busy days
which I have spent in France preparing
for the arrival of the first contingent.
Today I have seen our troops safe on
French soil, landing from transports
that were guarded in their passage
overseas by the reso ireeful vigilance
(Of our Navy.
Task Lies Ahead.
"Now, our task as soldiers lies before
tis. We hope, with the aid of the
French leaders and experts who have
placed all the results of their experi
ence at our disposal, to make oir force
worthy in skill and in the determina
tion to fight side by side in arms with
the French army."
Rear Admiral. Gleaves also spoke
briefly to the visitors.
"Only a few weeks ago," he said, "I
etood in the shadow of the Yorktown
tnnnnmant x," 1 1 c y r mil inifpnpnrlAnrA
Was won with the assistance of the I
ftreat French Admiral De Grasse. This
Is the happieBt day of my life, when
our Navy is welcomed in a French har
bor and where our soldiers have been
disembarked. I should feel that I was
reelecting a wonderful opportunity if
1 did not record the earnest and serious
co-operation I have received in my un
derstanding from General Sibert, his of
ficers and men, in this extraordinary
overseas expedition. Never have co
operation and co-ordination been so
I imperative and also complete between
Itwo defensive arms of the Nation as
jbt this moment."
I Pershing; Smashes Formality.
I Major-General Pershing, true to his
democratic principles, refused to haggle
Ar delay over the niceties of etiquette
When the question was raised whether
Admiral Gleaves should call on him or
he on the Admiral. "The point is that
II want to see him," the General de
clared. It was accordingly arranged,
tk more convenient, that General Per
ishing should go to the flagship as soon
as he was free from the task of inspec
tion. (Toward the middle of the afternoon
General Pershing returned ashore and
hJ pr$bably will go to Paris tomorrow
iFriday). -
The debarkation of the American
tr.ops has become almost an old story
been present to welcome the strangers.
The streets have been enlivened with
swarms of soldiers and sailors. Their
activities occupied all of yesterday and
last night. Many of the inhabitants
watched in wondering fashion the
marching and counter marching as if
to Question whether the French or the
Americans owned the town.
Troops Are Comfortable.
The preparations of the completion
f the camp are proceeding fast and
vere so far advanced this morning
that the troops were comfortable not
withstanding the rain.
Cieneral Pershing expressed his sat
isfaction with conditions and soldiers
ea; they are delighted with the camp,
which stands on high ground. Al
though drinking water must be
brought from a considerable distance,
it is of excellent quality. The sud
den influx of American forces has al
most exhausted, the town's stocks of
supplies, such as tobacco, matches and
other articles not in the Army ration,
and prices are gradually rising. All
the necessities, however, are abund
antly present.
Noth withstanding the concentration
here of thousands of soldiers, sailors
and marines, there has been a mini
mum, of disorder and the strangers
from overseas are proving more wel
come to the townsfolk every hour.

Little Warren Pershing already shows his military Inclinations and would
rather wear his uniform than any other sort of suit. The little fellow looks
a great deal like his illustrious father.
In a most unfortunate catastrophe In 1915 General Pershing lost his wife
and three daughters. They were burned to death in the fire at the Presidio,
San Francisco, Cal.
Warren Pershing is the General's only living child and the General has
proud hopes that his son will be as good a soldier as himself.
BRAZIL'S HAW AIDS
U-Boats Hunted in Co-operation
With Americans.
SEIZED SHIPS .HELP ALLIES
More Than 150,0 00 Tons Added to
Merchant Marine; Plan to Safe
guard Foodstuffs for Eu
rope Put Into Effect.
WASHINGTON, June 30. Brazil's
Navy has begun co-operating with the
American fleet m South American
waters in hunting down German sea
raiders and watching for German sub
marines. Sending of a special diplomatic mis-'
sion to Brazil to arrange for greater
co-ordination of forces and the closest
possible co-operation of the two gov
ernments is under consideration.
Without formal declaration of war
Brazil thus practically has joined
the United States against Germany.
Whether Brazil will supplement her ac
tion by a formal declaration of war is
regarded as doubtful because the Gov
ernment at Rio de Janeiro is inclined
to regard its action rather as defensive
than aggressive.
Brazil's seizure of the war-bound
German ships has added to her mer
chant marine more than 150,000 tons.
which, with that already at her dis
posal, will, it is believed, contribute
materially to the solution of the prob
lem of getting supplies to the allies.
Brazil's navy is the largest of the
South American group and in connec
tion with the American fleet com
manded by Admiral Caperton it Is be
lieved the work of keeping the South
Atlantic clear of enemy craft will be
greatly facilitated.
A plan for safeguarding ships carry
ing foodstuffs to Europe already has
been put into effect.
LABOR CENSUS TAKEN
COMMISSIONER nOFP ASKS
GRANGES' CO-OPERATION.
Information Sought as to Condition of
Crops, Harvest Season and
Help Needed.
SALEM. Or., June SO. (Special.)
State Labor Commissioner Ho ft has
started to assemble data on a state
wide census of crop possibilities, with
the end in view of assisting in har
vesting the- crops when the harvest
season comes.
In a letter sent out to all the Granges
and Farmers Unions he says:
"The farmer, upon whose shoulders
rests the grave responsibility of strain
ing his energies and the potential pos
sibtlities of the soil to the utmost to
provide food for the soldier in the
trenches and the hunger-suffering non
combatants of war-devastated Europe,
is doing his part nobly in the produc
tion of unprecedented crops of all
kinds.
"The next Important thing to be
looked after is the assurance of the
harvest of these crops, and it is in this
particular that the State Bureau of
Labor feels that it can render some
little service in helping to obtain the
necessary labor to take care of the
crops.
"This department already is working
4
w-'-. f
- arc. r 'vig:!
roocf
in co-operation with the employment
agencies of the state to supply the
farmers with help. The Bureau of
Labor is endeavoring, through the
courtesy and co-operation of the sec
retaries of the local or subordinate
Granges and the Farmers Unions, to
get first-hand information as to the
condition of gro win cr crops, beginning
and length of the harvest season for
the various crops, need of help in the
different farming sections and com
munities of the state and such other
data as will be of aid in obtaining the
necessary help to insure a successful
harvest."

cent Operations French
Regain Lost Positions.

strongly organized defensive systems
on both banks of the Souchez, covering
Lens, has been captured by the British,

have advanced more than a mile on a
front of four miles about Lens.
CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June 29. via London. (By
Canadian Press, Limited.) Success, un
expectedly great and complete, at a cost
in casualties far less than in some re
cent unimportant engagements, has at
tended the drive of the Canadians along
the valley of the Souchez, toward Lens,
during the last week. The gain of
ground Is greater than In any actions
since the capture of Vimy Ridge and
the land restored to France includes
some of her most productive coal mines.
Coulette, Leavitte and almost alt of
Avion are firmly held and that part of
the plain east of Vimy where a week
ago no one could show himself above
the top of a trench without drawing
the fire of snipers and machine guns,
may now be traversed in the open.
German Man Power Wralns;.
There are dally increasing signs that
the German man power is no longer
what it was. The number of enemy
troops In the field appears little less
than before the opening of Spring op
erations, but the Bpirit of the men is
no longer that of an assured victory.
A prisoner taken yesterday spoke of
the process of disillusionment the Ger-
an people are now going through.
If the war does not end soon, he said,
there will be a revolution in Germany.
This changed spirit is not dtie to un
derfeeding. Most of the German pris
oners are well nourished.

sumed their violent attack on the Ver
dun front west of Dead Man Hill last
night, the War Office announces.

first French line over the entire front
attacked, but were driven "out except
ing on the western slope of Dead Man
Hill. i
French Regain Ground.
The French made a counter-attack
west of hill 304 and took back most
of the trenches lost Thursday.
On the Aisne front the Germans at
tacked northeast of Ccrny, employing
burning liquid. They occupied a. sa
lient after the defenses had been lev
eled by shell fire but were repulsed
elsewhere.
BERLIN, via London, June 30. Ger
ma. i troops yesterday captured' several
enemy lines south of La Bovelle farm,
on the Aisne front. Army Headquar
ters announced today.
A line 500 meters in length on the
