M The announcement that every ship in a great transport fleet of eighteen vessels formetly under the German or Austrian flag, and including the mighty Leviathan itself, has arrived safely in Europe laden with American troops and supplies, goes admirably with what the country has just learned from Secretary Baker about the size and readiness of its armies. | When the Secretary of War speaks of nearly half a million United Stetes soldiers already on French soil, Americans can remind them- selves that in a few months’ time these hundreds of thousands of fight- ers have been carried oversea through a war zone infested with Ger- man U boats, without the loss of a ship or a man, Tho enemy's submarines have taken their heavy toll of cargo hips. ‘They have even got a returning transport or two. But, so far, the great Atlantic ferry for American troops has been safe- guarded ono way, at least, and that by far the more important way. The assurance that the huge converted Vaterland made in safet; ite first crossing under the American flag carries its own special picture of thousands of disembarking American soldiers and {he dis- charging of thousands of tons of precious war stores. Unele Sam was lucky to have the biggest ship in the world so handy for his biggest job. The half million tons of shipping formerly owned in Germany or mstria is doing good service for the United States and its Allies. Under their war aliases many of the steamers are revealed in the list as old acquaintances: The once luxurious Kronprinzessin Cecilie is doing hard work as the Mount Vernon; the Kaiser Wilhelm IT. has) turned into the sober and steady Agamemnon; the Princess Irene is now the Pocahontas.

Lott HB first battle of Manassas—or Bull Run—opened Civil War. It was a Confederate victory, And now, the early fall of 1862, more than a year later, a battle was to be fought on almost the same ground. The Confederates had massed along the Rap nook, as if for an advance upon Washington. The General, Pope, on the other side of the river, stood tween them and the threatened capital of our country. Pope's army was not equal to the task, but he sought t hold tho foe at bay until McClellan could come up with reinforcements. -Meantime, the Confederate leader, Lee, sent Gem “Stonewall” Jackson on a detour march around the Union army's flank, This march brought Jackson safely behind Pope's line and enabled him to seize a huge quantity of Union stores. Pope, learning of this, left the Rappahanock and hurried back to meet Jackson's invading force. He massed his army near Manassas. Lee was hastening north to join Jackson. McClellan was etill trying to reach Pope in time to be of use. On Aug. 28 the battle—or series of battles—began, and lasted for three days. Pope sought to strike Jackson and crush the latter's army before could send up reinforcements, By a series of blunders he falled to do thi. Jackson's force was in a tight place—outnume ered and unable to get away in safety, Its one hope was that Lee's reinforcements under Gen Longstreet might arrive before Pope could attack Longstreet was advancing with all possible speed to Jackson's help | But to reach the latter he had to pass through a long mountain gorge known | as “Thoroughfare Gap.” In places this gap was barely 200 fect across, On Jelther sido of it the clifflike sides of the mountain arose Iike giant walls. | Phoroughfare Gap was like the ancient pass of Thermopylae in the easé | with which {t could be defended, A single Union regiment and a battery }at the far end of the gap could have held all Longstrect’s army at bay for weeks, thus giving Pope ample time to destroy Jackson, x Pope seems to have thought of this move, for he planted a battery at | tno exit of the gap just as Longstreet’s troops entered the gap at the op= ] ‘Then—for some reason changing his mind—Pope ordered the battery away again, and Longstreet marched through unhindered, | Pope made no other decisive effort to head off Longstreet, but attacked Jackson's positio After a terrific all-day fight Pope telegraphed to Wash» ington that he had swept the Confederates from the field. He probably | belteved he had, But as @ matter of fact he had done nothing of the kind, |as the next da fighting proved. | | The Confeder: in Bad Corner. Onn him, | posite side. ‘The battle raged with varying successes until Pope ordered another general advance upon Jackson's line, He thought Jackson was directly in front of him, and he made his arrangements with that !dea. But Lor had come up, unknown to Pope. Longstreet's and Jackson's were drawn up in the shape of the | letter “V." The opening of the wedge faced the | Union lines. Thus, instead of attacking a foe directly in front of them, Pope marched his army into the mouth of the funnel-shaped Confederate formation—detween two jaws of a trap. And the jaws @osed upon the Union army. That is the simplest way of describing the third day's — ing, Says Abbott: “Nothing was left for Pope but to save what he could from the wrecks | to get his army off the field and out of danger with the least possible loss, It was Bull Run repeated, save that in this second battle the retreat of the Union army was orderly, not a rout." ‘The total Union loss was 14,800; to the Confederates, 10,700. As @ ree sult of the defeat Pope was dropped from command of the beaten ammy | and was detailed to less ‘mportant service in the West. “Bachelor Girl Reflections By Helen Rowland > Southern Army Springs Trap. | Oar z ° r 5 ‘ 18, by the Press Publishing Co, (Toe New York Bveaing World) Constant, 1918, Oy the Pres Publiving Co, (The New York trening World) Cons right, 1028, by the Press Publishing Co.
