Behind British Uues In France,
June 8. The young soldiers under
orders to embark for the first time
who pictures to himself a future which
will be all fighting days and sees him
self step from troopship to be rushed
to battle as did the first British di
visions sent to the rescue at Mons, is
doomed to disappointment.
As a matter of fact, he will spend
only a small proportion of his time in
the front line, and even while there
will only see actual fighting at more
or less rare Intervals. Life will hold
a good deal of "base" and "billets"
for him even In France.
l'Vjod Is Kxoollent.
The time spent far behind the lines
he will find irksome or pleasant, ac
cording to whether his temperament
Is eager and enterprising or the re
verse. For the great majority, how
ever, billets and base camps are very
pleasant. The food is excellent, work
is comparatively light and amuse
ments are plentiful.
The Associated Press correpondenl
paid a visit the other day to a huge
artillery base camp, situated on the
French coast near some famous bath
ing beaches and within easy reach of
a big city. Within the camp, which
also serves for a large number of en
gineers and some special infantry
units are several theaters, the can
teens of the British expeditionary
force, the lounge rooms and huts o
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion and various "camp Institute"
and athletic, grounds. Hers the 'sol
dier can have a fairly comfortable
and enjoyable vacation.
Impatient for Action.
Most of the men enjoy the varied
opportunities for amusement to the
full. Occasionally one meets a few
men, probably Just over from Eng
land, who are Impatient at every day's
delay in moving forward to the "busi
ness end of the line." The sergeant
major soothes them with wise words:
"Don't worry, boys," ho says:
"there's going to be lots of fighting in
this war, enough for all of you and a
little over to spare."
It is the custom at this base, so far
as artillery officers are concerned, to
distinguish between those who have
not yet been up to the firing line and
those who have had their "baptism."
The former have a fairly complete
program of daily drills and are kept
occupied also with lectures and edu
cational courses.
Must Be In Readiness.
The veterans are permitted ts fore
go these trials to a large extent. They
have little to do but amuse them
selves with- sports, theaters, operas
and the beach, subject only to the
stipulation that they must always be
prepared to move off at a few hours'
notice.
Throughout the army, In the ordi
nary course of things, the Individual
soldier gets a rest period at the base
?very two or .three months. Some'
times a whole unit comes down for a
rest, after an exceptionally arduous
period In the line. Then there are
specially organized sports, In addition
to the standing attractions, to help the
soldier to forget for a time that there
Is a war on. -
Between amusements, the soldier
spends his time hunting up "towneys,"
that Is, men from his own town who
are In other units at the base.

Raker, Ore., June 8. Untimely
twlight, fust followed by a deeper
darkness, swept over a strip of the
northwest fifty miles wide today,
when the solar eclipse, predicted by
astronomers, came to pass. The phe
nomenon found noted scientists here
to study and photograph the sun's
corona and spectrum. Definite con
clusions drawn from these observa
tions will be available only after cum-purison-it
results attained and de
tluctions'as to their significance. Tho
observations were declared to be suc
cessful, u slight cloudiness being the
only drawback.
Those devoting their time to study
of the corona were amply rewarded
for the wonderfully colored glowing
and pulsating light nearly equally dif
fused about the sun surface, whose
prominences also were pluinly visible.
Those watching for effects on nature
were also rewarded, for cresceint
shaped shadows on the ground were
seen and in some cases where cloth
was spread mysterious and unexplain
ed shadow bands were observed, al
though some failed altogether of re
sults In this particular detail of study.
Scientifically Successful.
Scientifally the eclipse as observed
by astronomers of the United States
naval observatory was successful. Be
lief was expressed that development
of plates of more than fifty photo
graphs made, will almost if not quite
solve the few remaining problems as
to solar atmosphere und distance
from sunsurface.
While the sky was not entirely clear
light hazy clouds prevailing, these are
not believed to have Berlously hamp

YANKEE FIGHTER
S APPLAUSE
(Auociated Press Corrctpomlrace.)
London, May 11. Tho high esteem
in which England holds the American
soldier and sailor is reflected almost
daily by the tendon press. One paper
devotes a long article to American
qualities as exhibited by Fireman
M , "champion light heavyweight
boxer of the United States navy. The
writer watched him In a contest with
the champion of the British grand
fleet.
"One was forcibly reminded," he
says, "how exceedingly impolite we
are on the surface and how thor
oughly goodnatured. The latter qual
ity was responsible for the applause
which greeted the appearance of the
American applause far louder than
that accorded to our own champion.
"It swelled to a roar as he sprang
up on the stage where the ring was
fixed. It Is not thej custom in the
British navy for even a popular favor
ite to acknowledge the cheers which
greet him. The correct procedure is
for him to dive quickly into his corner
where his seconds Immediately sur
round him and hide him from view.
"Not so the American. He merely
did what he was accustomed to do at
home---paused, a solitary figure In a
well-worn dressing gown, and bowed
not as a hotel manager or a shop
walker bows, but with little shy bows
which were quite delightful to those
of us who knew something of his bat
tling reputation. -
"The American did not win; he
fought a magnificent, clean fight and
was beaten on points. But It was
good to see the real pleasure with
which he congratulated the better
man." '

Fort Worth, Tex., June 8. Hy a
"rebreathing machine" here, the first
of its kind to be established by the
United States government or any of
Its allies anywhere, aviators flying
under the Stars and Stripes hence
forth will h classified according to
their aointy to thrive in high alti
tudes. The machine Is In a research lab
oratory at Barron aviation field, and
is in charge of Lieut. G. II. Hanson.
F. W. Thomas and James Blair, who
arrived In Fort Worth recently from
Mineola, X. Y. It produces all the
sensations of ascending and descend
ing and has been In use by the Ger
man air service, it is said, for five
years.
Henceforth, no pilot from any of
the local fields will be assigned to
active duty overseas until he has
passed the tests of the contrivance
and been classified according to his
ability to withstand altitude fatigue.
Kxperience has taught that many air
casualties are due to this fatigue. One
man will be so affected that he will
faint. Another will go along with his
flying mechanically and with his mind
so dulled that he cannot plan or exe
cute an attack on an enemy. Still
another will become stupid and his
nerves will not react to the excitement
of battle.
The pilots will be divided Into three
classes. In the first class will be
placed airmen who are never affected
by altitude fatigue and who can
ascend and fight anywhere their
planes will mount.
In the next class will be those
whose mental faculties are dulled by
high altitude..
And In the last, or third, will be
those who faint under the stress,

Paris, June 8. In an article In the
Matin, dealing with the recent ap
pointment of the Paris committee,
Frederick Br.unet, a socialist deputy,
says:
"By another drive made without re
gard to sacrifices, the Germans, If
thev did not enter Purls, could ap
proach near enough to hold tho capi
tal under fire of long range guns, not,
as now, for an intermittent bombard
ment ,but for permanent fire.
"Such conditions would render In
dustrial life impossible and the gov
ernment's will to resist must not be
influenced by the fear of sacrificing
the lives of non-combatants or by fear
of the consequences which a cessation
of the output of the munition factories
surrounding the capital would entail."
M. Brunet highly approves the for
mation of the committee.
The committee In question, whose
duty It is to defend the Paris area,
will not only study plans to meet tho
threat of Invasion, which Is regarded
as improbable, but will deal with the
problems caused by night air raids
and the long range bombardment,
says a Havas agency review of the
committee's work which summarizes
the newspaper comment. The com
mittee also will take into consideration
the question of the morale of the pop

that while the enemy can strike at,

Americans and French Make
Gains at Chateau Thierry.
ACTIVITY SHOWN ALL
ALONG FIGHTING LINE-
In View of This an Early Re
Newal of the Hun Offensive
Is Not Unexpected; Woever
Sector Claims Attention.
1ST MORNINO JOURNAL BRBCIAL LBABBO WIRBI
In the battle field of the Marne,
where a wees ago tha Germans were
hurling their masses or troops against
the western side of the wedge they
had driven into the allied lines in the
battle that began on May 26. the
Teutons are now standing virtually on
the defensive in the Chateau Thierry
sector.
American and French troops are
participating In a reaction on the
extromo tip of the salient and are
making progress In this Important
region. The British are engaged on
the other side of the wedge between
the Marne and Rhelms.
While the operations take the na
ture of local attacks, thoy have had
their effect In driving the Germans
back from the points they reached on
the crest of the wave that carried
them far on the road to Paris. The
attacks, which began just to the
northwest of Chateau Thierry, are
spreading northward along the line
and everywhere the allies report
ground recovered from the enemy. -Rush
Is SUll Going On. :'
The rush of the American marine
and the French on Thursday after''
noon has not continued to gain ground
as fast as it did at the inception of
tho movement, but it is still going on.
In the meantime they have withstood
two violent attacks by the Germans
and have repulsed the enemy In de
cisive fashion.
Reports from the whole battle line
In France are to the effect that there
has been renewed activity on the part
of the German artillery In several
sectors of the front. Notable among
the regions under bombardment is
the lino before Noyon and Montdidler.
It is along this line that a heavy
enemy offensive has been expected by
military experts since the momentum
of the Oerman advance from the
Aisne died away. When the Germans
pushed west from St. Quentin late In
March and early in April, the line
from Noyon to Montdidler was almost
equal In Importance to that In front
of Amiens. The French forces were"
rushed to this front and fought sav-'
apoly to stop the Oerman advance and
retake ground which was of strategic
and tactical Importance, J
Activity In Wocvre Sector. - r
At the same ti-me the Woevre seco
tor, Just to the southeast ofVerdun,
Is claiming attention. Largo move
ments of enemy troops In the direc
tion of St. Mihiel have been reported
by aerial observers and there are In
dications that the positions of the
Americans along this part of the front
may be In the storm center of a ter
rific attack soon.
The advantages to be gained by the
Germans if they succeed In breaking
this line are manifold. Eighteen miles
west of St. Mihiel Is the town of Bar
Le Due, and still further westward
Is Vltry, which would be but a step
ping stone to a dash to Chalons Sur
Marne. It the line at St. Mihiel could
be broken or driven back very far the
whole Verdun sector would be In peril
and might have to be abandoned.
In the Flanders sector, which has
been quiet since the beginning of tha
attack along the Alsne, the Germans
on Wednesday sought to Improve
their positions by capturing the hos
pice at Locre. This point would give
them a starting point for an attack
on the villuge of Locre, which Is con
sidered one of the keys to the allied
positions along the hills behind tha
line southwest of Yprea. The French
forces In this sector on Friday, how
ever, attacked the enemy and drove
him back to his former positions and
the allied line has been restored.
There have been no, engagements
of a notable character on the Italian
front, but In Macedonia the allies,
particularly the Greeks, have been
continuing their aggressive operations.
