AMERICAN PORT. Western Franot.
iAngast 29 (Correspondence of The La
societal Press) .-—'rhe opt-it which an-
irastes all Americans use is the same
las thatof tho inclination-.1-
the words of the general commaadha
it is an inspiration of intense eager
trees. This is shown int the fact that
underthe “1'0““me Alp—
erican soldiers to the lasing from,
the time required to unload the great
est of American transports bringing
‘12,000 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 or
western continental Europe, With a
harbor'cspable of receiving the navies
of the world, and yet up to the time
the Americans came here. at: months
ago, it was practically undeveloped
and unused. it was estimated ~then
that the facilities might possibly per-
m“ the landing 0! 20.000 men a month.
But with 250,000 men a month com-
ing from America, something had to
be done on a gigantic scale and done
quickly. Fortunately the emergency
produced the men: an American brig.
adier general who had planned and
executed some of the great engineer
ing projects of the West, and an Am-
erican admiral, who has the reputa~
tion of accomplishing large things the
a quiet way. Around them "iere
'grouped men of the same talents.
Out of it has arisen this marvelous
receiving port of today, where one
dot/’3 landing of 45,000 men has been
followed the next day by 15,000—60p
000 in two days or. at the unheard
irate of 900,000 a month. And the
lstrange thing has been that the port
I has not felt or even known of the huge
migration passing through its gates,
so quietly and smoothly the organiza-
tton has functioned. ,
it is the same with the handling of
the immense stocks of war supplies
as it is, with the handling of troops.
51: months ago it was estimated that
6,000 tons a month could be handled.
Actually more than that is handled
daily, and this is not the main port
for supplies, as it is for men.
A large measure of credit for the
high record in debarking troops is
given by the general to the officer in
charge of the sevpral thousand negro
stcv.edorcs This officer has had 11 re
markable career. which exactly equips
him for the present huge undertaking.
He was 11 Liverpool docker, one went
to the United States with the "unard
Con pany. and worked up 111 the posi-
tion of terminal superintendent :1 Bus
ton. As an expert and master of dock
ing he Was appointed a major in the
a. my But he forgets all about bring
major when he takes command of
those 2.000 black stevedorm and a
punt ocean steamer heaves into slttht
with thousands of men aboard who
must. he landed on record time All
the old spirit of the Liverpool dockcr
comes back again, he becomes .1 hu~
n1rn dynamo, and the army of black
tilt-\GdOl‘PB follow him "with the same
eagerness that men follow their lead-
er "over the top." Here are some e:-
amplee 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 bottom-v28 days. Then
on the third trip it was decided to
send her to this French port. where
the Americans had begun to take
things Incr. it Was 11 risky experi-
ment they thought. But they fnilulto
when the major and his black stuc-
dores. for thts is the remarkable rec-
ord 0" how the great vessel has been
handled at this port:
First arrival 10. 000 men and sup-
plied unloaded and the ship coalcd
and sent back in four days.
Second anival unloaded coaled and
sent back in three days.
Thitd arritmal unloaded coated and
sent back in forty eight h' are
Fou1tl1 arrival unloaded, coaled and
sent back in forty hours.
The magnitude of such an accom-
plishment may be judged by the fact
that 5000 tons of coal has to be put
on the huge trelmport to send her
lback. and all of this must be loaded
ltrom li ghters. as her 41 feet of draught
keeps her far out in the harbor And
all this in forty hours, besides debark
ling 10. 000 troops on lighters and sev-
leral thousand tons of steel and emerg
ency war cargo.
Americans seems to have discovered
for the first time that this port is near-
er New York than any of the great
ports, andls thus on the great com-
‘merclai high‘ road from the Woe to
Continental Europe. This hold out a
brilliant future for the port in the
after the war commercial renaissance.
One of the foremosf American angl-
neers recently said he would like to
undertake to make This the great com-
mercial port of Europe and he believ
ed this Would certainly result from the
American development incident to the
and supplies hero. America is paving
the way to making this the first port
of Europe and the landing terminal
for the commercial penetration of Eu
rope from the West.

SOMEWHERE ill ENGLAND, Al:
I“ 28 (Correspondence or The sue-
041104 PM!) wSeveral American air-
men have recently been out on duty
as special “fem pilots” between at

taking “0" "If Ill‘lllanoa over the
Dianna in all weathers to points
Where the! are needed at the mm
The task is not dilcnlt in he weath-
er. but in bad weather it is sometimes
very difficult and dangerous. Wheth-
er the weather is bad or good. the
machines needed at the front must go
without delay.
On a recent day, chilly and obscure.
one of the American "ferrynoa" was
ordered to take a new scout fighter
to an aerodrome close to the treat
lines in Northe'r France. The :loads
were so low and the base so pro-
nounced that the far end of the flying
ground was barely visible. The pilot
thought he might s‘nrapo through by
flying low and chaneing possible en.
ginc failure.
After he set 0!, he found malt ‘1‘8
even worse than he had thought. At
200 feet, objects below ware scarcely
visible; at 300 feet he could see node
fag He made a circuit of the aero-
drums and might have landed again.
exctpt that the American pilots have
a distaste for admitting that anything
is impossible.
He rose to 360 feet and was envel-
opei in cloud. it was now too late to
land, for he had lost the aerodrome.
and if he were to come down'to look
for a good field he might hit a neigh»
boring clifl or factory chimney. The
only thing to do was to keep on his
compass course, and climb up above
the clouds and. after flying for about
an hour. to glide dawn gradually
through them in search of a land-
mark.
At 3,000 feet he found himself above
the clouds and in the midst of morn-
ing sunshine. The half hour passed
and the pilot had to make up his mind
to dive back down through the clouds.
The luck suddenly decided it in the
shape of a small gap in the cloud.
through which he caught a glimpse of
the green fields of France. Without
hesitation be shut off his engine 11nd
dived through the gap. By good tor-
tune the clouds here were fit ghet than
on the English side, but it Was 'ulning
hard.
He switched on the engine again be-
low the clouds and sailed along at .1
chmparalively low altitude through
the rain. picking up landmarks by
which he chose his course Then 0 it
was comparatively plain sailing. and
in a short time he landed at the de-
llot aerodrome and housed L111 111a-
