TRENCH FEET'IS FEARED MOST BY YANKSABROAD First Battalion on Bt tflefront Relieved Without Mishap and Returns to Rear With the American Army in Franco, Nov. 2.—The first battalions of the Americans in the trenches have been relieved by others. *Ke lief, which is considered one of the critical periods, when the enemy by shelling the approaches to the posi tions may inflict heavy damage, was accomplished successfully. Appar ently, thenemy was not aware of what .was going on. With the men back in billets, it now is permitted to mention for the first time that the casualties were negligible. In fact, more men are suffering with "trench feet" than with wounds. • From ar military standpoint the experience gained by the Americans is considered of a very high value in the training of contingents which are yet to arrive on French soil. It was a tired, dirty, wet, mudcaked body of men that returned to bll- The men had only two clear days while in the trenches. They were mud from their hats to their shoes. Before anything else they re quired a bath, first with gasoline and then with water. To-doy the sun was shining brightly an dthe returned soldiers spent most of the time sunning themselves suid their belongings. Some of the fields in this section of France are "overed with blankets, parts of uniforms and equipment. Clouds of red dust arose in these places when later the owners started to brush. To-night the returned bat talions are clean and ready to go back again. MAYOR BOWMAN TO ADDRESS ASSOCIATION u Mayor J.

"The money cannot be found In the latest reports of rail way earnings, and, incidentally an explanation of the reasons why it does not may serve to explain why ,mail is sometimes received less promptly than formerly." For the calendar year 1916 the railways' revenues from mail pay were $265 per mile as compared with only $255 in 1915, the Gazette says. Up'to March of this year they still showed an Increase. Something has happened since that time with the result that for seven months of the year the railways had actually re ceived only $278,000 out of the promised $8,200,000 increase. Railroads Are lxisci's "What has happened to the $3,- 000,000 has been exactly what the roads foresaw. Formerly the rail roads were paid for carrying the mail on the basis of weight, just as the Post Office Department itself re ceives Its pay on the weight basis. In other worts, the Post Office Depart ment proposed, and got Congress to approve tentatively, a plan whereby it pays the railroads per car mile what it used to pay for a 3-ton car, and then proceeds to take the mail out of two or three cars or trains and loads it into one. "The Post Office Department has tried to make the public think it has increased the railway mail pay when in fact it has reduced it, for no one believes that the volume of mail car ried is not much greater than it was last year."
