PART OP SERVICE INSPIRATION OF INTENSE EAGERNESS, SHOWN IN HANDLING TROOPS AND SUPPLIES EVERYTHING DONE ON GIGANTIC SCALE AND DONE QUICKLY-TQ MEET EMERGENCY YANKEE PUSH, PEPND PUGNACITY MAKE THINGS HUM OVER THERE 'AMERICAN PORT WESTERN FRANCE, July 31 (Correspondence of the Associated Press) The spirit which animates all Americans here Is the same aa that of the front lino trenches, is the words of the General commanding. It Is an inspiration of intense eagerness. This Is shown by the (act that under the stress of haste to send American soldiers to the fighting front, the time required to unload the greatest 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 of western continental Europe with harbor capable of receiving the na vies of the world, and yet up to the time the Americans came here six months ago It was practically undeveloped and unused.

It was estima ted then that the facilities might possibly permit the landing of men a month' But with 250,000 men a month soming from America, something had to be done on a gigantic scale and done ouickly. Fortunately the emergency produced the men; ar American Brigade General who ha planned and executed some of the great engineering, projects of the west, and an American Admiral who has the reputation of accomplishing large things In a quiet way. Around them were men of the same talents. Out of it has arisen this marvel Ous receiving port or today, where one day's landing of 45,000 men hft been followed the next day by 15,000 60,000 In two days or at the nr bear of rate of HOO.O00 a month. And the strange thing has been that the nort has not felt or even known of the huge migration passing through Ha gates, so quietly and smoothly the organization has functioned.

It is the same with the handling of the Immense stocks of war sup plies it ts the handling troops. 81x months ago It was est! mated 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 'n charge of the several thousand negro stevedors.

This officer ha? had remarkable career which exactly equips htm for the present huge un dertaklng. He was a Liverpool docker, who went to the United States with the Cimard company and worked no to the position of terminal superintendent at Boston As an expert and master of docklnc he was appointed a major in the army. But he forgets all about be ng a major when he takes commend of those 2,000 black stevedores snd a treat ocean steamer heaves Into sight with thousands of men aboard who must he landed on record time All th eold spirit of the Liverpool docker comes back again, he becomes a human dynamo, and the army of black stevedores follow him with the same eagerness that men follow their leader "over the top," Here are some examples showing lust what this means: When the greatest of American transports first came over It took Ri davs to unload her at Liverpool The next trip was better 23 days Then on the third trip It was decld ed to send her to the French port where the Americans bad begun to take things over. It was a risky ex periment, they thought But. they failed to recon on the major and his black stevedores, for this Is the remarkable record of how the great vessel has been handled at this port: First arrival 10,00 men and supplies and the ship coaled and sent back in FOl'R days.

Recond unloaded, coaled and sent back In THREE days. Third arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back in FORTY-EIGHT HOURR Fourth arrival, unloaded, coaled and sent back In FORTY HOCR8. The magnitude of such an ac eompllshmcnt may be Judged by the fact that 5.000 tons of coal has to he put on the huge transport to send her bsck. and all of this must be loaded from lighters ss her 41 feet of draught keeps her far out In the harbor. And all this in forty hours lutsldes debarking 0.000 troops on lighters snd several thousand tons of steel snd emergency ar cargo.

Americans seem to have discover ed for the first time that this port Is nearer New York than any other of the grest ports, and Is thus oa the commercial highroad from the west I continental Europe' This holds oat a brilliant future for the port In the after the war commercial renaissance. On of the foremost American rr.clneem recently said he would like to undertake to make this the great commercial port of Europe, and he believed this would certainly result from the American development Incident to the war. tbat besides landing soldiers and supplle here. America Is paving the way to making this the first port ef Europe and the landing terminal for the commercial penetration of Enron from west. C.

Aug. 7 (-Associated Press Mail) Ice cream, made without milk, cream or sugar to comply with government regulations, has been all the rage this summer at the soda fountains of London.

The re- cip was conceived by an American fbartei H. Booglin, ef New York City, soon after the British govern ment prohibited early this year the use of milk products or sugar in the manifnrture of ice cream. Here's the way the mock ice cream is made- For a gallon of the ice, two pounds of glucose or four pounds of honey. If honey is used It should tie boiled down in a quart of water. and before being poured into the freezer should be allowed to cool for three or four minutes.

Then add the white of one egg and any flavor desired, and freeze. Freslf fruit adds considerably to the flavor of the Ice which really tastes like ice cream. In London, where even in summer eggs have been worth about ten cents a piece, the ice manufacturers used the powdered egg albumen in stead ot eggs.
