WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1917. JPSQE EIGHT LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER DECORATION DAY May Thirty Nin'eteen-Seventeen As we are now at war with an alien enemy it is well that we should commemorate our Decoration Day in a manner that is commensurate with our loyalty and patriotism. It seems unusually fitting that we pay tribute to OUR FALLEN HEROES OF FORMER CONFLICTS Their deeds and examples of patriotism should serve to fire the true fighting spirit in all true Americans. i .... tl BERNHARDT YOUNG EVEN INJJLD AGE Perhaps the Most Universally Loved Actress. ,a Grande Pharmacy ADOLPO NEWLIN, Manager Quick Delivery Phone Main 41 La Grande, Oregon ueaa&axaaLAfUR!

Sayi War Is Going to Awaken tha Rallgloue Spirit of Franca aa Nothing Els Could Do. Mine. Sarah Bernhardt, who arrived In this country last October for her farewell tour of leading American cities and who underwent a serious operation In New l'orlt, proved that she is the most universally loved ac tress the stage has ever produced. In a recent interview Mme. Bernhardt sipped a glass of milk as she talked. "I drink only milk now, and I eat only potatoes," she explained smiling ly. "That Is the way to keep young." A recent description of ber says: Mme. Bernhardt, although seventy two years old, Is most fltted to give the recipe of eternal youth, tier hau ls tawny gold. Her eyes, the color of Jade, have kept their translucent fire. The queer quicksilver smile that darts all over her face like a scarlet ribbon has the old vividness. She was gay and charming and indomitable. But for the first time a certain wlstfuluess showed In her elTort to p.ease. and she powdered ber face and Incarnadined those smiling lips as she talked. "Which' do you consider the greater weapon beauty or charm?" I asked Mme. Bernhardt. "Charm enormously," she replied. "Charm Is genius, the genius of pleas ing, if a woman has it It does not matter whether sbo Is ugly or beauti ful, twenty or fifty. But charm, un fortunately, is bom lu us. It cannot be acquired. A child of threo may have charm; so may a woman of eighty. Children, In fact, have charm In It; most natural aspect, but not all children. American Women' Failing. "Do you know," Mme. Bernhardt added, "there is but one thing with which I reproach the American wom en. It Is that you do not care enough for children. You marry for love, and that la splendid, but so many women do not wish for children. What will they have to love when they are fifty? Not a man surely. "I was a mother at seventeen and a grandmother at forty-two. I pity wo men who wale till they are twenty-five to become mothers. They deprive themselves of life's greatest Joy. They aro old women before their daughters are grown up." The Interviewer asked Mme. Bern hardt about tho woman who has lost or rejected the stock answers to the great questions of life-the womau who can And lu existence neither plan nor purpose and who hesitates to thrust her own doubts and vacillations upon tho generation ahead. "I have no patience with such peo plo," Mme. Sarah answered, with a dramatic shrug. "They ask why wo are hero. We aro here through lovo. They say. What aro we hero for? Why, to lova each other. They ask, Where are wo going? Why, forward. onward, through our children. You Americans do not love enough. I see your men always together, jour wom en always by themselves. The most Important thing In life Is to love and bo loved. And to be loved when one Is young, gloriously, completely, sheds n splendor over all of life. It gives golden memories which one may count over aud over. And it keeps one young." Religioue Spirit Awakes. When asked what she thought would lie tho effect of the war on life In Prance Mine. Bernhardt replied: "The religious spirit of France' hao been awakened. After peace is de clared the Catholic church will come Into its former power and greatness. "War has proved the futility and limitations of human sympathy in a great grief that bus touched every fireside, licllglon only can heal the wound of the spirit and the soul. Franco will emerge from the war a purified nation with high ideals, and she will become more and more strong ly republic." BRITISH SAVED THE ENEMY. Rescued Prisoners After Submarine Sank Hospital Ships. Ouly one of the Incidents reported In the sinking of the two hospital ships Donegal nnd I.anfnmc, showing the amazing difference between the mo rale of the Hermans and British, Is that told of the saving of a badly wounded German otlleer by a British soldier only less badly wounded. While other German wounded pris oners aboard the Lunfranc were light ing frantically to get into the life boats as the ship wns settling and foundering was Imminent this Briton left the struggling Teutons on deck and went belou Tor one of their conn trytuen they had forgotten, carrying him up to a lifobont barely hi time.
