StnteH to withdraw all troops from
their borders and submit the eontro
versy to the United States nhrouih
their niinistes in Washington.
BAN SALVADOR, Aug. 20. The
newspapers here publish reports that
NicnriiKUiin trnons have invaded Hon
duras, the government of Niearaj;uu
claiming that it does not look unon
the reeent arbitration of the boun
dary dispute between 'the two coun
tries as lej:al. Niearasun, it is said,
claims that the decision- of the kintr
of Spain favors Honduras. The nws
paners declare that the Honduran
minister to Nicaragua has been given
his pnssnorts and given 24 hours to
leave the country.
The Nicaragnan minister here de
clares the rewirts are absolutely un
true and without foundation, while
the Honduran minister says alarmist
reports are being ciirnluted in or-
fler to create disaffection in the oth
er countries of Central America.
Presidents of the two Central
American republics a week ago ac
cepted an Invitation from the govern
ment here to adopt this solution of
their differences.
A decision of the king of Spain,
who had been asked to arbitrate, fail
ed to Batisfy Nicaragua and several
weeks ago Nicaragnan troops were
sent to the border to enforce claims
to territory Involved.
Kocont dispatches from Salvador
telling of renewed prospects of
trouble are :based upon old informa
tion. State department officials are
confident that neither side has vio
lated the agreement for withdrawal
of troops.
It Is understood here discoyery of
gold along one of the border rivers
is chiefly responsible for the controversy.
THE PAGE TODAY
A career which would make excel
lent reading in fictianal form or as
the subect for a discourse on the
"Road to Success'' has been the lot
of the giant film actor and Italian
Alpino, Mnciste. Horn in Genoa,
Italy, on April 27, 1S87, of parents in
humble circumstances, his rise to
fame has been more met eoric. than
that of liny other famous figure in
sereenlnnd. Receiving the usual edu
cation of a child of his status in
Italy, Macistc, whose proper name is
Ernesto Paganl, early displayed
symptoms of the remarkable physical
attributes which in later years earned
for him the title of "The strongest
man in Italy." Ae the age of 21 he
had uttained the enormous stature of
seven feet, weighed close to 300
pounds and coidd erfonn the physi
cal labors of four ordinary men. With
it all, he possessed an unfailing good
humor, an infectnoiis smile, and a
handsome face, nil of which made the
herculean Italian a popular idol
among the middle classes.
While employed as a dock laborer
by one of the steamship companies,
Jluciste attracted the attention of the
famous oct and author, Gabriele
D'Annunzio. Hceause of his beau
tiful physical proportions and super
human strength, he was cast for the
part of the Kinnidinn slave in D'An
nunzio's master cinema feature "Cn
biria." An in-tnnlaeoiis personal hit
for Mnciste was the result and when
"Ciiliirin" played to American au
diences, I'uguni was acclaimed by
public nnd press as the screen find
of the year. Ilis fame and fortune
assured, Muciste became a leading
member of Hie ltnla Film company,
producers of "Cabina.' At the out
break of hostilities he immediately
volunteered for active service. Sc
ouring a leave of absence through the
intervention of n'Annunzio, the giant
nclor soldier was starred in the film
version of "The Warrior." the lat
est war spectacle in which he is now
delighting American audiences.

AMERICAN PORT, WESTERN
FRANCE, July 30. (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.) The
spirit which animates all Americans
here is the same as mat of the front
line trenches, In the words of the
general commanding. It is an Inspir
ation of Intense eagerness. This is
shown by the fact that under the
stress of haste to send American sol
diers to the fighting rront, the time
required to unload the greatest of
American transports bringing 12,0110
troops, coal her and start her back
to America, has been reduced from
four days to forty hours.
This Is the best deep-water port of
western continental Europe with a
harbor capable of receiving the na
vies of the world, and yet up to the
time the Americans came here six
months ago it was practically unde
veloped and unused. It was estimat
ed then that the facilities might pos
sibly permit the landing of 20,00t)
men a month.
(.cuius of Kngineerinjr
But with 250,000 men a month
coming from America, something
bad to be done on a gigantic scale
and done quickly. Fortunately the
emergency produced the men; and
American brigadier general who has
planned and executed some of the
great engineering projects of the
west, and an American admiral who
has the reputation of accomplishing
large things in a quiet way. Around
them wore grouped men of tho same
talents.
Out of It has arisen- this marvelous
receiving port of today, where one
day's landing of 45,000 men has been
followed the next day by 15,000
60,000 In two days or at the rate of
900000 a month. And the strange
thing has bcea that the port has not
felt or even known of the huge mlgral
Hon passing thru Its gates, so quietly
and smoothly the organization has
functioned.
It is the same with tho handling
of the Immense stocks of war sup
plies as it Is with the handling of
troops. Six months ago itwas esti
mated that 6000 tons a month could
be handled. Actually more than that
Is handled dally, and this Is not the
main port for supplies, as it is for
men.
2(MI0 Murk Stevedores
A large measure of credit for the
High record in debarking troops is
given by the general to the officer In
charge of the several thousand negro
stevedores. This- officer has had a
remarkable career which exactly
equips him for tho present huge un
dertaking. He was a Liverpool dock
er, who wont to the United States
with the Cunard company, and work
ed up to the position of terminal
superintendent at Boston. As an ex
pert and master of docking he was
appointed a major in the araiy. But
he forgets all about being a major
when he takes command of those
2000 black stevedores and a great
ocean steamer heaves Into sight with
thousands of men aboard who nmst
be landed on record time. All the
old spirit of the Liverpool docker
comes back again, ho becomes a hu
man dynamo, and the army of black
stevedores follow him with the same
eagerness that men follow their lead
er "over the top." Here are some ex
amples showing just what this
means:
When the greatest of American
transports first came over It took 52
days to unload her at Liverpool. The
next trip was better 28 days. Then
on the third trip it was decided to
send her to this French port where
the Americans had begun to tnke
things over.
PARIS, Aug. 20 (Hy the Asso
ciated Press..) The effect of
American rillc fire has been one of
the great surprises to the enemy dur
ing the recent engagements along the
front. As a result the rifle is last
coming back to its own as the de
pendable weapon for infantry fight
ing. For a time its place was chal
lenged hy the hand grenade and some
of the F.nglisb and French experts
took the view that the grenade would
gradually supersede the rifle. Trench
warfare had accustomed both sides to
the grenade so that the rifle was sel
dom brought Hito use.
F.ven with the Iwo weapons avail
able, the troops had become accus
tomed to the use of the grenade rather
Hum the rifle, and an enemy fucitive
would often be chased until his pu
suer was near enough to throw a
grenade when a rifle hall would have
brought down the fugitive from a dis
tance. All this has been changed, however,
by the open fighting of the present
offensive, and the unusually effective
use the Americans have made of the
rifle. General Pershing has main
tained from the first that the rillc
was the indispcnsible weapon for in
fantry, and while the grenade has not
been neglected, every American unit
has been thoroughly trained in rifle
practice.
Many of Hie national guardsmen
as well as the regulars were crack
rifle shots, winners in tournaments
and veterans of the rifle ranges
maintained at home. These ranges
have become a notable feature of the
training on this side, until the whole
American organization has become
specially proficient with the rifle.
German prisoners all recount the
snmc story, that the greatest sur
prise came from the impetuosity ot
the American troops, and after that
that the sweeping fire of the Amer
ican rillc caused the greatest con
sternation and loss.. Accustomed to
waiting for a grenade attack at
elose(Uarters, the mass formations of
the enemy were, suddenly exposed to
concentrated rifle fire at a distance,
with every shot from a trained mnrks'-
mi who was not liluziug into the air
but was pickinir out his target ami
sending his ball home.

WASHINGTON, Amr. 20. A one
man tlo.ir null is a reeent invention
in which industrial experts in Wash
ington are greatly inlerested. It is
one of tltose invention which is tend
ing to break up trusts.
It is unnatural that wheat should j
lie sent thousands of miles from the
place where it is urown tit be milled i
tnui d.... iu.,1 iiw. r ..i' I
flour. The niUural tiling would be
for every ro'iinimiity to have a mill
which would jjriml as much as the
communitv needs and n lil'le for ex
port. This would take away from a
few speculators flic power to hav up
and raise the price on wheat because
thev control the means of transpor
tation and warehouse facilities.
The one man flour mill has worked
out certain methods for simplifying
the process of fhmr makiui;. The
mill does for wheat what a coffee
grinder does for coffee. The wheat
is put in at one end and the flour
comes out at the other. Its capac
ity is 2't barrels a day.
This is the first indication of a
step back from the concentration of
the mill industry which v.A been so-ill-;
on for a generation fit the old
days when everv community had its
water driven mill with stone grinders.
There are 1 MMI of these new initio in
operation ami the operators report
profitable business. Kach mill stands
about as hijih as the packing ease of
an upright piano, and loo:s very
much like one. The first one was
set up in Knland by an expert Knj
lili miller and is still operating there.
In 1 SHO there were :H),lKM) mills in
America. Today with the population
doubled there are less than H.OtlO.
The old burr or slone mill was, a
simple and inexpensive affair. l!
consisted of one or more pair of 1
stones ami one or more silk covered
reels. It was quite simple to operate.
Tl)e whiteness of the so-called
"patent" flour made by the roller
process was what drove the stone
ground flour out of business. Tin
stone ground floiinwas sweeter and
probably more nourishing, but it was
i not so attractive looliiny:.
