MOTHER'S DAY BRINGS WORD Kassell Brooks Attends Eng lish Church in France Writes Ahout It Mother's -day letters were written by thousands of young American sol diers in France, among them Russell Brooks, and the letter be wrote home is smbmltted for publication in part. Sergeant Brooks tells of attending the .Church of England in Trance. He has some interesting things to say about meal time at the-French home where he has been entertain ed. , His letter in part follows: The all high general command ing ( the American ' Expeditionary forces has wired each organization that today being Mother's day each man should write a letter home. For a half hour work has stopped in the office and we are all industriously scratching away with French pens and Ink and good American paper. You may be sure that the boats will carry a generous cargo of mail back this time for all. The army does not often get sentimental and I be lieve this Is an act toward keeping up the morale of troops which cannot help but be lowered when home ties are forgotten. There is nothing on earth that will make a person stop and think it over more Quickly than a thought of home. "What will she think or do if X did this or that? '- "It is a Question that ehoald be kept recurring constantly .before all the men: a good healthy desire for home is a potent good in anyone. "Besides that point, there is the additional one of making the folks there also realise we are here. I know it peed not be repeated in your ears, nor in the ears of most mothers. They are all too keenly alive to the possibilities of the situation as it stands. Nevertheless an appeal from here cannot help but increase the morale there and if that inner qual ity is not present in both It is also useless in one. Cooperation is es sential. We don't forgetl neither do you and tne mutual forces of both will bring us happiness in the future for all, even those who halve given. "This morning I went to the little Church of England on the (rave des -. and renovated myself a bit. The army provides for its oldiers Is all matters, but a feeling of conn-1 dence is more easily obtained, under the usual conditions as at home.

"It is a beautiful Sunday thpugh prospects for rain are also present as usual. Yesterday afternoon we had a little thunderstorm and then the rain, which poured heavily down.

"What have I not done to pre serve the world from these horrors?" asked Kaiser Wilhelm when he last visited the battle zone on the Flan ders rontf " Indeed, what has he not done? 1. Hei did not meet the other great powjprs half way in proposed agreementk and undeistandings de signed to avert such a catastrophe as has reddened and saddened the world forKur years. 2. He did not. at any time during his reign on the German throne, dream or hope or work or pray for anything but a German-made war as against a world-sought peace. 3. He did not use his offices hon estly in the slightest degreo to bring about a settlement of the Serbian imbroglio without resort to blood shed. 4. He did not hold Germany to its plighted faith with tho other na tions regarding the inviolabilty of Belgian territory. 5. He did not issue a mandate to his armies to refrain from the most Infamous atrocities ever committeed by officers and troops of a so-called Christian nation. 6. He did not put the ban of his disapproval on the introduction of liquid fire, gas bombs, air bombs and other' weapons of torture which pag ans of the dark ages might have scorned to use. 7. He did not say that Germany must purge itself of the shame of organized piracy against belligerents and neutrals cn the high seas. ' .8. He did not square with deeds his solemn averment before God that hie country was fighting a defensive war and that only. 9. He did not enjoin the honey combing of the world with spies di rected to destroy property and cor rupt souls to do anything fair or founl to friend or fee that Germany might win a German peace. Only in part is the negative side of the case against the Kaiser thus set forth. He might have asked what he had done to drench the world with horrors. A full answer to that is for the historian with un limited time and space at his com mand, not for the-editorial write. Minneapolis Tribune.

OFFICIAL WAR SUMMARY The attempted drive by the armies of the German crown prince toward Paris seems definitely to have been checked. With thousands of their men having been fed to the guns on the Montdldler-Noyon and Solssons Vlllers Cotterets sect ors In the mad rush to pierce the allied lines In these regions and thus gain a fair way to the French capi tal, the maneuvers of the German commanders apparently have brought to the German arms nothing more than the obliteration of the Noyon salient and the capture of a few unimportant positions southwest of Soissons near the outskirits of the Vlllers Cotterets forest. Friday, the sixth day of the of fensive between Noyon and Montdid ier. witnessed only small local ac tions. Less than three days was required by the allies to bring the enemy to a virtual halt south of the Alsne. The feeling still prevails In mili tary circles in France that the main effort of the Germans has not yet been launched and speculation Is rife as to when it will come -and what the general objective will te whether Tarls or the channel ports. It is known that the enemy still has large effectives available behind the lines, thousands of - them, brought from the Russian front. . The armies of General Foch. how ever, everywhere are watchful and of such 'strength and good morale as to lead to the belief that, no matter where the enemy chooses to oppose them, .they will be able to give a splendid account of themselves Seemingly it Is not Improbable Clas The Oregon Statesman 215 PHONE that Field Marshal Haig's forces will be asket again to measure their strength against the Germans and that the territory near Arras, or in the Scarpe sector, or before positi6ns. may be chosen by the Germans as the theater. In both these sectors the German guns again are work ing with the violence that generally presages an attack. In the Marne sector there Is al most continuous artillery artlvlty la the region or Chateau Thierry, where Americans are fighting beside the French. On the other sectors of the front comparative quiet prevails. American. Eriti&h and French air men continue to carry out aerial op erations above and behind the en emy lines. American airmen have participated in the bombing assaults and returned safely to their stations, although they were heavily shelled by anti-aircraft batteries. As yet the Austrians have failed to start their expected- offensive against the Italians. British casualties reported during the week ending Friday aerregated 34.171. Of this ncmrtr 4CIT men were killed. COUGHS AT COM VAXISII. "Summer colds' are not hard to break np. coughs and hoarseness are easy to get rid or It. If yon will take Foley's Honey and Tar Compound.

Mis Margaret Dnrnlng of Portland officially represented the state of Or egon at the annual convention of the International Fuel association held recently in Chicago. Thousands of French women are being trained In the building trades In order to aid in the reconstruction of the revastated cities and towns of that country after the war Is ended. Knglish women have become ex pert in making guns and gun car rlages, including the fine fittlnr work on the breech mechanism and the screw rutting of large threads up to a shoulder. The recent visit of the Prince of tVales to Rome has led to a revival of rumors that the heir to the British throne may find a bride in the person of Princess Yolando. the eldest daughter of their Italian majesties. who has just entered upon her elgh teen tli year.
