Friction Between French and

PONTOON BRIDGES
CAUSING TROUBLE

Tikn tbik, Chinn, Out. 24. Tlio preB
onco of a Inrgo nnmbor of troops lioru
in contiguous camps and with iiiUurully
existing national prejudices is cuueln
considerable friction and sovoral un'
pleasant incidents havo occurred.
Ono of thu chief causes of friction litis
boon tlio number of pontoon bridges
thrown ncroeB tlio river. There ore
thn u of theeo within the space of u mile
and hb the river it) simply crowded with
1 links and tow boats some ronfllct has
io.mi the remit. Mnstof tlio troublo Iiat
oo Mirrcd at the French bridge and twice
troublo has rem I led between thu French
guards and I ho American centric on the
onthobofttB.
A fow days ago a string of 20 junk
coming down Btrenin was held un at the
French bridge for several hours in spite
of the protests of tlio American guards
on board. Finally word reached the
Ainorican headquarters of tlio condition
of affair and an ollkor was sent up to
tlio bridge lie found a French soutinol
on the turwntil boat and promptly order
ed him off. There was a sharp inter
change 1. Utvn tlio American and
French ollleers hut thu sentry sas re
moved. Ucnoial Summer then arrived
and the result was that llio bridge was
opened and the boats allowed to pass.
The feeling between thu French and
American eoldieis apparently dates from
tlio killing of Corporal Hughes of the
'J bird Artillery sumo weeks ugo by a
French sentry whom he with two com
pHiiioiiH attempted to rush in order to
crosB the bridge uflnr dark,
A day or two ugo there was another
bit of friction in which both sidos rather
ovoratopped tlio limit and aro fairly
chargiiblu with some blnmo. Tlio bridge
regulations require that only ono boat
may go through at a time. A fleet of
junkB in charge of u noncommissioned
American soldier came down and an at
tempt wns made to tako throe of them
through tlio draw abro'mt. hi coining
through, tlio junks Jammed in tlio draw
and thu American on the leading boat
and tlio French bridgo guardB clashed.
The French attempted to arrest tlio
American and a list fight ensued in
which ono Frenchman wont overboard
nnd sovorai wore badly nsed up. The
American was llnally ovorpowored and
put undor guard.
Ho was soon released but according to
his (statement ho was struck whilo under
