In a report received from an American

"An arrival of emigrants from Eu

"Many of them are taking their first

it is impibONle to make themselves un

has seen every variety of winged and

stand, stirpefled by the noIse and con

move, while maybe their trulin is about

coffee, 18,000,000 pounds of cocon
50,000,000 pounds of condensed milk
and 40,000,000 pounds of sugar.
This amount of food, together with
the native produce, gives an average
ration of about 2,000 caloriets-about
half the consumption of the American
people.
This program is estimated to cost
during the twelve months, for purchase
and transportation, approximately
$280,000,000. The finance has been ar
ranged on the basis of advances to be
made by loans from the United States
to the Belgian and French govern
ments in amounts suffclent to- pay for
the material purchased in the United
States. The British and French gov
ernments are advancing in Europe the
sums necessary to meet the expendi

Their backs are the targets for the

LeCateau, the important junction

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP IS
SUNK ON WAY TO FRANCE
An Atlantie Port.--The American
steamship Tlconderoga, a vessel of
5.130 tons, has been torpedoed and
sunk on her way to France probably
with a heavy loss of life. Twenty sur
vivors of.the ship, wounded or suffer
ing from exposure, were brought here
by a British vessel to which they were
transferred by another vessel which
1)icked thenm up.
There were 250 men aboard the
Ticondleroga, an American steamship
of 5,130) tons, and all but the 20 who
arriv-!d here, are believed to have per
ishedt. The survivors got away in
the only boat which was not demolish
ed by the shelifire from the suzma

who reached port were members of a
detachamnt of soldiers detailed to
care for horses which were being
transported.
The Ticonderoga was attacked, pre

Heavy Losses in Men, Cuns and
Munitions by Enemy Mark Entire
Campaign.
London.-The whole of Canbral is
in British possession, Field Marshal
Haig reports from headquarters. The
Canadians were the first to enter the
town.
In the great defeat inflicted on the
Germans 10,000 prisoners and from 100
to 200 guns were captured.
The statement says:
"We inflicted a heavy defeat on the
enemy between St. Quenin and Can
bral, taking over 10.000 prisoners and
between 100 and 200 guns.
"No less than 23 German divisions
'were engaged on this front; they were
severely handled.
"The result of this action Is that
the troops have been enabled to ad
vance on the whole front between the
Somme and the Sensee and are making
rapid progress eastward, capturing
rear guard detac'hments of the enemy,
"The whole of Cambral Is in our
possession. The Canadians entered
tho town from the north at an early
hour while at a later hour English
troops of the third army passed thru
the southern portion of the town.
"Since August 21 the British first,
third an(i fourth armies have broken
through the whole elaborate series of
deep (lefensive zones built up with
successive belts of heavily fortified
trench lines, including the entire Hin
denburg systen on a front of over 35
miles f-om St. Quentin to Arras. Hav
ing penetrate'd this battle area to a
depth of betwet!en 30 and 40 miles, our
troops are now operating far beyond
and east of the Hindenburg defenses.
"In the process of these operations
and since the late mentionedl we have
inflicted very heavy losses on the ene.
my in killed a ndl wounded and have
taken over 110,001) prisoners and 1.200
guns."
SURRENDER OF TURKEY MAY
1BE EXPECTED ANY MOMENT
L.ondon.-The surrender of Turkey
within the next 48 hours will not st
prise well informed quarters in Lon

British authorities, it adds, are in pos.
session of information showing that a
process of disintegration exists in
Constantinople.
