AMERICAN PORT IN WESTERN
FRANCE, July 15—(by mall). — An
American armada of thirteen great
transports, bringing 36JMI0 lighting
men to France had come quietly into
port during the night and the landing
of this little army was soon to begin.
Going on board the transports, the
Associated Press correspondent had
an opportunity to see the equipment
for this huge undertaking, and how
the men had lived and fared on their
trip across. It was a long climb up
the rope ladder to the deck of a
former Ward liner rebuilt as a trans
port. Soldiers packed the decks and
were thick as flies in every cabin,
hatch and between decks down to the
very bowels of the ship. The spacious
promenade deck had disappeared, and
in its place were long lines of "stan
dees," or metal hammocks, for the
men sleep in the open on deck as well
as between decks.
The men looked well, and the re
