Intensive Training and Hardening Processes Under Way. American Training Camp in Franco, July 25.-There was greater activity in the training camp to-day than at any time since the American troops reached France, actual inten sive work having been begun. There ls no disposition on the part of tho American commanders to belittle the amount of work necessary to bring their men up to the highest European standards, but the spirit with which tho troops have undertaken this work has encouraged the highest hopes of early efficiency. Trenches were being dug to-day In tho way of practice with an enthusi asm equal to that with which sol diers dig themselves In under actual artillery fire. These trenches were of 'nil depth and wore duplicates of c?r tala sections of the front line, con sisting of front, or Aro trenches, sup port trenches and rosorvo trenches, with interval communication tronchos connecting them. Th? Americans were digging to-day just as if they hoped soon to bo fighting.

Already dummies have been con structed for bayonet practice, and tho men are being taught the six most vital points of attack. The Americans are highly amused at the stories of how tho French deco rate and paint their dummies to look like the German Emperor, von Hin denburg and other enemy notables, and each company is searching its ranks for embryo artists in that line. Practice in trench fighting will not wholly replace the route marches or hikes, for the hardening process must continue all the time.

They went down to tho mill pond, and while there decided to go in bathing in the old mill race. They had been in the water for an hour or more when they inadvertently stray ed Into water over their depth. Miss Barnes was seen running to their rescue and all three of the giris were swept off their feet into tho swiftly rushing waters of the mill race. Matt McCown and Morton Mul drow were sitting on the bank oppo site the spot where tho girls were bathing and across the stream from them, and as soon as they saw that the girls were in trouble ran to their relief. Mr. McCown jumped from the bridge into the water and was suc cessful in saving Miss Barnes, Mul drow having thrown him a fishing cane which he grabbed. Immediately he jumped into the water again and swam toward the other girls, who were being borne down the stream, but they sank before he could catch them. Muldrow stntes that he gave tho young ladles repeated warnings to stay in tho Avater near tho bank, which was about two feet deep.
