A.MKKICAN POUT. Western I'ranee,
Aug 10 (by mail i. Twelve o’clock at
night, all lights out ashore and afloat,
heavy rain squalls sweeping out to
sea, and this great port dark and si
lent as the latest fleet of American
transports and convoys 13 monster
ships, l'» destroyers, 30,non fighting
men and n.ooo crew creeps in from
the Atlantic.
With an American army escort we
had (limbed to a high point on tin*
sea trout t<» get a glimpse of this tirst
process in tin* gigantic military mi
gration from America to Kurope, the
greatest the world has ever known,
and then to follow it, step by step, as
its vast and intricate activities un
folded up to the arrival of tin- men on
tlie lighting front.
The wireless station had received a
cipher message giving warning of the
approach of the fleet. It had been
hoped the arrival would he in day
light, w ith tlags flying, hands, playing
and tin* sun shining as the American
lighting men got their first glimpse of
Kurop« . Hut this is no dress parade,
said the admiral, and there is no time
for stage effects.
And so at midnight in tin* rain and
darkness, with signal lights showing
for tin* first time since they left the
other side, the huge flotilla moved in
a long line of lights to the sheltered
roadstead. There was the creak of
windlass and chains as tin* anchors
gripped.
“And yet this midnight arrival in
the darkness and rain is only one of
tin- steady succession of great arma
das coining every three or four days,
in the colossal American military in
flux which Secretary linker gives at
275.nun men for a single month These
35,000 men just in are the population
of a good-sized city twice as many
men as we sent to Cuba for the Span
ish American war, about half the tone
Napoleon had at Waterloo, when the
destinies of Kurope were in the scale
\ ...1 ..l.il,-. Oil.' i .• ...... nf l)w> riwr.nl
debarkments, yet it is only a small
part of that mighty stream coining in
from the West. It is the unprece
dented magnitude of such a military
movement, across the ocean, in the
faee of submarines, that has thrilled !
the allied world and broken the spirit
of the adversary.
It was a stirring scene in the liar ;
bur the morning following as the:
transports unloaded their Ad,non men. !
The sky had cleared and the huge |
hulls of the transports loomed out of 1
the mist, their funnels puffing black :
smoke, their sides painted with fan
tastic camouflage, and their decks ris
ing like terraces crowded with khaki-|
clad Americans In their broad
brimmed sombreros. The destroyers •
had drawn oft and were lying hunched
ten across. They looked diminutive
I beside the big ships, but their power
showed in the glint of guns and the
; long, lean build, like a greyhound
; stretched for action Further back
were the French warships.
All about were Innumerable small
( raft, army and navy tugs, lighters,
launches and a flotilla of fishing craft
with their nets hanging to dry like
huge sails of lace. Back of tills water
scene stretched the huge American
warehouses, sprung up like mush
rooms. until the whole front was black
with buildings and the skeletons of
more buildings. Already the lighters
were alongside and the soldiers came
tramping down the gangways to go
ashore
The Americans found this port
without any system of big docks. A
few of the smaller ships can come
to the docks, but most of the unload
ing from the deep-draught ships must
Ik by lighters. The American com
manders are planning to change all
this, and soon the long breakwater
v ill be linked to the land by bridges,
thus creating at a stroke huge dock
ing systems by which the American
troops will march straight ashore
from the ships.
A lighter was now pushing off. with
atm troops packed on it like the crowd
at a holiday procession. The men
were feeling gay, for they were about
ti step on solid ground again, and to
have their lirst look at Franco; and
besides, they had the regimental band,
which was sending “The Star-Span
| gled Manner" echoing over the water.
' Kvery head was hared as the strains
j of the anthem went up. Over the men
floated a huge dirigible balloon point
; ing out to sea in quest of a subma
J rine. The soldiers gazed at It as
! the first sign of warfare. After it rose
•
X
two hydroplanes like monster beetles
and joined in the search for subma
rines.
Now the lighters were at the dock,
and with the tide out the men climbed
up twenty feet to the wharves As
they tell in for the march to camp
they had an earnest, quizzical look,
tor thi- was the first sight these men
of the new world were taking of the
old world most of them from Iowa.
Nebraska and the Middle West.
