HONQHED FRANCE a feigning of Armistice Occasion lor Great Demonstration in French Towns. VANCOUVER, Wash.. Dec. 21. (Spe cial.) Clarence O. Bunnell, son of Mrs. H. M. Bunnell, of this city, who was thought for a time to have been cap tured by the Germans when he was with the 318th engineers in France has been promoted to the rank of Second Lieutenant. In a letter just re ceived by his mother, written Novem ber 11, the day the armistice was tig-ned, he said: "This is the day of days. The Boche Is no more a problem, and all France is celebrating-. I am missing: most of the big- show, but can't recall when I was ever happier in my life. I started this letter last evening-, but was not permitted to finish it then. The good French people offl.hi3 village were de termined to fete me. They came to my hotel, about 35 men, led by the tayor, his secretary and all of the commune officials. They carried huge bouquet of red, white and blue chrysanthemums in a prettily ham mered cannon shell. Document ! Presented. They went through several cere monies, sang the national air, and then, proceeded to read it to me. The Rist was that I was the representative of the United States here and 'they wished to present their homage and love to my country through me. After the paper was handed over and I had made the best little talk my limited French vocabulary would permit, I was informed that I was now Lord Mayor Lavare (Sarthe). what do you think of that? I am now a real Frenchman. Happily, the last time I was in Paris I bought 50 cigars, and had just enough to go around. They had brought along Home wine 50 years old, and after taking two drinks I had to call a halt, for I fear the sea might have gotten rough. They sang a number of their folk songs and then insisted that I sing. Well. I first sang the "Star Spangled Banner." and they all stood at attention. Then I sang "Tipperary" and several others, over which they were much pleased. Our party started at 6 and lasted until 8, and as none had eaten we stopped. The little vil lage reverberated all night, and when 1 awoke this morning it was to the put-put-put' of a German machine Kun under my window. They were knocking the spots off of the back yard wall. larue Fluff Presented. "Before I realized where I was, 1 jumped out of bed and started to find my tin lid. I thought 1 was up at the front with a bit o' hell starting again. Another minute and I should have been in the street wearing my nightshirt, as we never took off our clothes there. However, I awoke finally, got into my clothes and went out into the street to help make more racket. I went to another village to pet a telegram, and when I returned they had a big French flag for me to hang out of my bedroom window. "This morning as I walked down the street every man and boy seeing me would come to attention, salute ; and cry out: "Vive 1' Amerique." Be lieve me. these simple folk would send me to Congress if they could. Wonder if America loves us as do the French people? Today we are the best-loved and possibly the most-hated country on earth. The royalists of Germany and certain others hate us above all nations. Lieutenant Bunnell does not know when he will start home, but has hopes it will be in time for the Fourth of July. .

These things are appreciated by the public, and this appreciation is shown by greater patron age and a more extended use of the service. Finley's funeral service provides a secluded private drive, comfortable reception room; ele gant chapel, music room, private rooms for the family, courteous attendants, and everything that goes to make a service cpmplete and satis factory. The fact that this service- and these original ideas have been copied and imitated is unquestionable evidence of our leadership. J. P.
