Harold G. Merrlam, Member of Fac
ulty of. Reed College, Depicts In
teresting Personal Experience.
THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, TORTLAND, OCTOBER 13, 1918.
i
The following letter, an unusually in
teresting series of impressions gath
ered in France and England, has been
received at Reed College from Harold
CI. Merriara, formerly a member of the
faculty of that institution:
"When one's ship is lost from its
convoy in a fog in the Irish Sea, one
feels closely in touch with the war; but
when one lands in England and in
France and begins to realize the short
age of - food and begins to understand
the losses of our allies and their won
derful courage, the sea experiences
eeem like phantom worries. And indeed
most of them are, for two reasons,
namely, that there is no such breeding
place on earth for rumor as on the sea,
and, secondly, for a submarine to at
tack a convoyed fleet is nothing less
than suicide.
'Our chief rumor was that, while lost
from our convoy, a submarine passed
our bows and later caught a merchant
JBhip; to which all one can sky is that
when our captain found we were lost he
certainly did put oji steam, in spite
of the fog. One night a soldier caused
a. near-panic, being frightened by the
tajl of a life raft onto the deck, by
calling out, "Al. men on deck," when
hundreds of doughboys packed the
hatchways of their quarters so that no
movement either way was possible. The
submarine ..had seemed to me from the
very beginning so 'remote as never to
enter my consciousness, but running
through the minds of the soldiers every
one was a sub-thought of fear; so that
when met by our sub-chasers and
dirigibles there was, as it were, a great
sigh of relief sweeping the ship from
bow to stern. One was made con
scious of any hidden fear in himself
ly the life preserver that he wore every
minute of the journey.
Work Made Difficult.
"My work as a transport secretary
was made so difficult by the conditions
of the converted freighter we were on
and by the strict regulations of the
military commander that they were
more picturesque than actual. A library
of 700 books circulated like wildfire,
and 20 bundles of magazines seemed to
have been literally, consumed within
three days through much handling.
Double the number of both could have
been used. - The soldiers want maps
and atlases and geographies and his
tories and better fiction. I make this
last statement in spite of the fact that
George Barr McCutcheon was in great
est demand. These books are used by
the soldiers aboard ship, are sent from
the point of disembarkation to France,
and are there used in the camps until
worn out. People at home should empty
their libraries of their good books
not costly books, but good reading.
"One's first impression on landing
In either England or France is, I think,
that of the gratitude of the people for
the arrival of the Americans. The Brit
isher finds it difficult to express grat
itude to strangers,' and yet by his ex
treme courtesy to Americans, hitherto
not marked, and their willingness to
credit us with being in the war.with
generous ideals, he does manage to
convey his real inward feeling. The
children of England and the grown-ups
of the lower classes have a supersti
tion that it is good luck to touch an
American sailor; and so when a jack
tar walks up a street he is tagged and
patted to the point of vexation.
Gratitude Poured Out.
"In France the people find it easy
to pour out gratitude, so that there is
danger of the American losing his head
and thinking that he has himself been
fighting this war the past four long
years and is about to win it. A Signal
Corps man and I were standing before
Notre Dame last Sunday when four
French boys of from 5 to 8 years ran
up, calling out, 'The Americans, the
Americans, our friends and they
grasped our hands and held on tightly.
"We walked around the cathedral,
each of us with a boy at each hand,
the oldest explaining in perfect French
and without the" slightest embarrass
ment how the Boche airmen had
dropped a bomb in the garden 20 yards
behind the cathedral and how the men
on his street filled up the hole, so that,
unfortunately, he could not show it to
us. We walked and talked for 20 min
utes, and when I told the boys that we
must leave them they lined up in a
row, each one with great dignity, shook
hands with us and said, 'Bon soir, mes
sieurs.' "England seems to be hard pressed
for food, their diet consisting of ham
and bacon, of which they have Quanti
ties; bread, egg" and potatoes, not to
mention the inevitable steamed pud
dings. Fruit cannot be eaten a single

(lass of real hot water with a tea
fcpoonful of limestone phosphate in it

and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract before putting more
food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
fend hot water on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a splen

pound of limestone phosphate will cost
very little at the drug store, but is suf

Lookng forward to the immediate expanson of the city Detention
Home, plans have been drawn up by the Park Bureau for the develop
ment of the grounds and buildings in accordance wth the best ideas of
architecture and landscape.
Started less than a year ago to take care of those women affected
by the Government and city dsease prevention fight, the home has
grown nto a wtell-ordered place of three buildngs, lncludng two dormi
tores. Situated on a tract of more than 30 acres on the Columbia Rver
Highway about a mile from Troudale, ample room for development s
given.
About 60 women now are beng cared for at the home two months
after the completion of the buldings.
In the plans prepared by the Park Bureau archtect the buildings
are grouped about a wde lawn with paths and shrubbery. A logga at
one end stands next to a lily pond near that end of the lawn. Shrubbery
about the buildngs witha thek hedge surrounding the plot also are pro
vded. A driveway leads to the man buildng set about 200 feet back from
the highway. Trees, shrubbery and grass are desgned to beautiful this
part of the tract. The keeper's house is near the entrance at one side
of the driveway. This is to be remodeled from an old stone bulding.
our of the new cottages flanking the man building are to be added
in the near future, it is expected. Others will be added as the demand
warrants. Landscape development grass, shrubbery, trees, etc will
be put under way early next Spring.
fruits and vegetables. Grapes sell as
low as 30 cents a pound, likewise
peaches. Raisins, however, are a dollar
a pound. I priced some sweet cookies,
something like our vanilla wafers, and
found them 11.40 a pound. Eggs are
cheap, bread is little higher than be
fore the war, and vegetables are very
little more expensive.
Mourners Sad Sight.
The signs n . the streets and Jhe
number of women in mourning sadden
one. Shop after shop will hiive a card in
Its window reading, 'Mourning provid
ed in 24 hours,' or 'Mourning supplied
at once.' Shop after shop is closed,
many not to open until after the war,
and many bearing a sign reading, "Re
opening the middle of September,' or
'Closed provisionaly." The papers say
that hundreds of shopkeepers have
closed their shops and gone into the
country to help with the harvest. The
old men who 11 years ago when I was
here sat in front of stores and wine
shops are now at work pushing carts
or driving autos or waiting on trade.
There seems to be nothing women have
not undertaken. The terribly wounded
on the street are numeroups.
"Last evening a discharged soldier
asked us for a cigarette, offering to
pay for if: (Tobacco, I should state, is
hard to get and very expensive as well
as very bad. A pfeilu I was talking
with pulled out his government allow

smokable, and pathetically said to me,
not without a fine display of the French
native dramatic ability. 'Viola, mon
sieur, what is there left?') This wound
ed soldier rolled up his trouscr leg
richt on the street and showed us how
his artificial leg worked. It had been
amputated at the thigh. 'Viola, there
is the Boche.' He had lost one eye. 'For
me,' he said, 'the war is ended; I am no
good.' He had a cane that he had cut
out of a stick taken from the place on
the field where he had been wounded.
Here, see," he said, pointing to the head
of the cane, and there was a remarkable
likeness of 'Papa Joffre' carved on the
end. 'I did it myself.' I
Scotch and Canadians Preferred.
"On the train coming from Havre
was a French sergeant, who had seen
three and a half years of service, a
poilu who was ending his first year, an
auxiliary soldier (one totally unfit for
line service but fit for clerical work)
and a Frenchman who was in the'head-
quarters division. They discovered that
I could speak a little French and there
fore all the remarks were politely ad
dressed to me, and I was kept busy
saying 'our in pretense that 1 under
stood everything. The various soldiers
of the different nationalities were dis
cussed as reliable fighters. The prefer
ence, Americans being left out of con
sideration, fell to the Scotch or Cana
dians. "The poilu sang 'Tipperaryi. the Eng
lish of which he had learned in the
trenches last Winter. He drew out of
his knapsack two '75' shells that he had
obtained through Systeme D (the
Frenchman's term for foraging for sup
plying oneself with what one needs-and
wants) and had hammered into really
beautiful vases with running floral de
signs. "You, I will make you one this
Winter,' he said, but I am not really
expecting one, cherishing the impulse
more than the thing itself. Numerous
battles were dramatically explained.
We all rose and sang the 'Marseillaise'
in French, then 'America' in English.
About q'clock T remarked that I was
hungry, riot having eaten since 11; the
poilu opened his knapsack again, took
out of a loaf of war bread, cut it into
two pieces and insisted on my taking
one. It was good, made better by the
sincere generosity.
Hu Camp Hit by Bomb.
"As we came through Rouen, a city of
100,000, full of beautiful buildings and
possessed of three exquisitely beautiful
cathedrals, one of the Frenchmen told
of the air raids that had come four
nights in succession. One night a house
had been hVt, blown to pieces and its
four occupants killed: another, a for
saken factory, had been' heavily bom
barded, the Germans mistaking it for a
gunpowder factory; a third, a large
tank of petrol had been hit. sending up
flames 20 meters high, and the fourth a
German internment camp had been
struck, three Frenchmen and ten Ger
mans being wounded.
"Some weeks ago in Paris a bomb
fell just beyond the steps of the splen
did Church of the Madeleine; It dug a
hole in the pavement and scattered Its
pieces, one of which flew directly for
a statue of St. Luke and severed his
head as neatly as an ax could have done
it, leaving the rest of the body unmu
tilated.
"It seems to me that wherever I turn
I run into a Y. M. C. A. man from Ore
gon. I already have track of some 18
or 20. Oregon is more than holding
her own. And several of her sons are
in very responsible positions."
CAR MECHANICS CALLED
ENLISTMENT IN MOTOR TRANS
PORT CORPS STILL OPEN.
Nearly 2 00 Men Have Been Accepted
for Immediate Service, bat Great
Demand Still Continues.
Nearly 200 men have been accepted
for the Motor Transport Corps by
Charles I. Jamieson, of the trade pro
curement and classification branch of
this service, but many more are re
quired.
Mr. Jamieson emphasizes, however,
that the need is more for men skilled in
mechanical lines than for those, whose
sole qualifications are ability to drive
passenger cars or trucks. Plenty of
the latter will be required, but a much
larger proportion of them has been
accepted so far than of skilled mechan
ics who are absolutely essential.
Men whose applications are accepted
will be voluntarily inducted into the
Motor Transport Corps as soon as re
quisitions for them are approved at
Washington and forwarded to their lo
cal boards with Instructions to release
them. The chances for active service
in France, and that very soon, are ex
tremely good, says Mr. Jamieson, for
the motor transport needs of the new
American Armies are very great.

A NEW WITNESS
By Dr. JAMES
Of the Council of the Twelve. Church
Salt Lake
The angel Moroni.' who made known
to Joseph Smith the existence and re
pository of the inscribed plates from
which the Book of Mormon has been
translated. informed the modern
prophet that the metallic pages con
tained the fulness of the everlasting
Gospel as delivered by the Savior to
the former Inhabitants of the Western
Continent: The book is more than a
series of annals and chronicles.
Invaluable as the ancient record may
have proved in giving to man the his
tory of a once mighty but now extinct
nation, in demonstrating the origin
and significance of traditions cherished
by the degenerate Indiana as evidence
of a more enlightened past. In explain
ing ethnological data otherwise unre
lated and largely inexplicable In these
respects the Book of Mormon could
have been nothing more than an impor
tant contribution to the common fund
of human knowledge, possibly of great
academic interest but certainly of small
vital value..
No apolog'y could be consistently de
manded for surprise, wonder, or even
incredulity over the announcement of a
messenger sent from the presence of
God. to restore to the possession of
mortals a mere history of dynasties and
kingdoms, of migrations and battles, of
cities builded and destroyed, and of the
rise and fall of commonwealths. The
miraculous interposition of Divine pow
er in such a matter is without recorded
precedent and apparently lacking in
the essential element of necessity.
The priceless character of the Book
of Mormon lies in Its sacredness as a
compilation of Holy Scripture, telling
primarily of the dealings of God with
the ancient peoples of the West, of the
Divine purpose In their isolation on a
previously unknown continent, the
teaching and practice of the Gospel
with all Its essential laws and ordi
nances enjoined through revelation en
tirely apart from the Biblical Scrip
tures, and particularly of the solemn
testimony of a great nation relating
to the atoning death and literal resur
rection of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer
and Savior of the'' race.
The avowed purpose of Jehovah. In
leading Lehl and his colony from Jeru
salem and conducting them across the
great waters to the Apierlran shores,
was to separate unto Himself a body of
Israelites who would be cleansed from
false tradition and the defiling precepts
of men respecting the appointed mis
sion of Christ in the flesh. As Moses
was led into the desert and later Into
the mountain top. as Elijah waa im
pelled to seek the cavern's solitude,
that each might the better hear the
Divine voice so a nation was seques
tered in the New World that they might
learn the word of revealed truth in Its
simplicity and plainness.
In the mind of God it had been de
creed that the life, death, and resur
rection of His Only Begotten Son be
attested by other witnesses than Gali
lee, Samaria and Judea. While Lehl and
his people were journeying through the

deserts of Arabia, the Lord revealed by
vision and the visitation of angels unto
the prophet and again unto Nephl that,
six hundred years later, the Son of the
Eternal Father would be born of the
Virgin of Karazeth. that He was to be
the Redeemer of the world, that a
prophet would go before Him crying re
pentance unto the people and baptiz
ing them In Jordan, and that twelve
Apostles would attend the Savior and
continue to teach and administer after
the Lord's death and resurrection.
The doctrine of the coming Christ and
the necessity of repentance and bap
tism were preached by prophets
throughout the six centuries of prepa
ration. At the time of our Lord's birth
at Bethlehem, the predicted signs of the
glad event were witnessed in America,
and prominent among these waa the ab
sence of darkness between two days.
The tragedy on Calvary was signal
ized in the West, as the prophets had
foretold, by great disturbances of the
earth, and by the continuation of dark
ness between two nights.
The more righteous part of the people
had been preserved from destruction;
and to a multitude of these, assembled
