General Pershing celebrated the biggest birthday party of his life on Friday. He was fifty-eight years old and tens of thousands of American soldiers joined in presenting him a birthday present. The gift was the St. Mihiel salient. The 82nd division, composed of Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee troops, which trained at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, is among the divisions on the Lorraine front on which the; Franco-American attack was launched, according to latest reports avail-' able. Various shift3 of American j forces, however, might have moved the 82nd from this front since the latest report were sent. A potential German naval base in the Virgin Islands has been seized by the alitn property custodian and will be used for the needs of the American nKvy and customs depart- a ! inent. The base consists of land, fe buildings/ docks, warehouses, large!J water tanks and cisterns, lighters, u loading paraphernalia and coaling facilities formerly owned by the t Hamberg American Line. The Vir- h giri Islands were recently purchased J by the United States from Denmark, d h Secretary Baker, accompanied by r Generals Pershing and Petain, visit- h ed St. Mihiel a few hours after its capture. Residents of the town so long under the domination of Ger- r mans accorded Secretary Baker and his companions a touching deception relating to abuses to whcih they had ^ been subjected. Before the Germans retreated they had forced almost every male between 16 and 45 to ac- ? company them for service in the e German army, they told the secretary. * C Tlio inHnmifoMo T.lnvH Honrcre 1 X uv iiiuvuitvuvtv "IVJ V?
