" Foch Addresses Convention Following Is the text of Marshal Foch's address before the American Legion convention: 'Officers,' non-commissioned offi cers and soldiers of the great Ameri can army: 'My dear comrades of the American Legion: "I cannot, tell you how great la my satisfaction at finding myself among you, valient soldiers of 1918, to live again our glorious memories. Three years ago, on the First of November, 918, the entire American army In France took up vigorously the pursuit of the defeated enemy and did not halt until the German surrender. Hour of glory for the American army, a proper culmination for a mili tary effort, prodigous alike In its In tensity as in its rapidity, one and all you have had your share in it. You may well be proud, In responding In mass to the call to arms, of your gov ernment In equipping, training and or ganizing yourselves as rapidly as pos sible, you had In view only a purpose to take your place aa soon as possible In the line of battle. . In numbers, eighteen months after the declaration of war by the United States on Germany, . the American army had pasBed from effectives of ,500 officers and 120,000 men to 100,000 officers and 2,500,000 men. 'Effort of organisation: If, in the month of March, 1916, you had In France but six divisions, six months later, you had 41, of which 31 engaged In battle. . . "Effort In Instruction: In order to have officers, non-commlssloned offl cers and men rapidly trained, you mul tiplied In America and France your schools and corps which beoame cen ters of prodigious activity. ' In order to arm you and camp you the American manufacturers worked without respite and supplied you all your needs. ".'- Admirable effort also In transpor tation: You swept away every ob stacle which Interfered with bringing your units from the centers of Instruc tion to the ports of embarkation. "In France you Improved the ports of debarkation, created new Installa tions, increased the traffic of the rail road systems by work of all kinds and multiplied your storehouses and hos pitals. Your shipyards were organized for Intensive production in such a way that when the war ended you utilized for your ocean transportation almost four millions or marine tonnage. In stead of the 94,00 available at the be ginning of the war. And meanwhile your splendid far fleet, thanks to its vigilance and its fine military qualities, protected with an efficiency to which I am happy tn pay trihute here, the transportation of your troops and materials. .. "A prodigious effort on the part of your entire nation's Intelligence, will power and energy, A prodigious ef fort which has filled your associates with admiration and gratitude and confused your enemy. "This splendid spirit of an ente na tion we find again on the battlefields ef France where It was blazoned In the admirable virtues of bravery and hero Ism. "It was the spirit of the Second and Third American Army Divisions, which one month later, took part In the bat tle of the Marne and distinguished themselves immediately In the opera tions around Chateau Thierry and In Belleau Wood. Again It was the spirit of those five divisions which, on the 18th of July, participated In the vic torious .counter offensive of the 10th and Sixth French Armies between the Alsne and the Marne, and contributed In great measure to that victory.

GRESSMAN Evangelist Henshaw needs no Inter preter to make clenr his meaning. When he speaks, everybody under stands his messnge. while withal he Is most courteous. He believes that the gospel Is still the "power of God unto salvation' and preaches it its clear ness, simplicity and power. For his sermon Monday evening nt First Christian Church on "The Old Time Kellglon," he used tho' text, "Contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered unto the saints' (Jude 3.) Among the characteristics of the old time religion, which he enu merated, were Its simplicity, earnest ness and reality. "These," he declar ed, "are the preeminent needs of the church of today. "The 'faith of our fathers' goes far back to 50 years ago. In fact, the real faith of our fathers is the faith of the apostles, such as was manifested on the day of Pentecost. The old time re liglon goes back to Pentecost for Its authority In the Lord. It goes there nlso for its inspiration, as well as for Its d'rect application to daily conduct and life of Its adherents. "The crying need of the twentieth century is a revival of this old time religion. The only Institution ever or ganized for the conversion of tho world is the church. With all sorts of isms' In thiB misguided age, the old time religion is the only safe and sane guide." Mrs. Curtis Is being highly com mended for her excellent solos.

Professor W. i D. Halliburton, a famous British ; ' Scientist, lecturing before the British ', Association at Kdlnburgh, declared , that tho world was all of mlsconcep-, ' tlons In regard to abnormal stature. 5 We hiive been brought up, he said, 1 to believe that giants were exception ally powerful people. Aa a matter of fact the glunt is really a feeble person without much muscullnlty, and, as a' rule, short-lived. Giantism Is, in reality, a disease. ': Medical science has now discovered that many of the o-called ductless ' glunds, like the thyroid, have Imoprt any Influence on health. . One of the most Important from that' point of view 'was called the pituitary, situated at the bas of the brain. Althuugh partly cerebral In origin,' It wns growth from the mouth from which was shut off when the bony skeleton was completed. This little body, about the sire of a pea, was situ ated In the bony recess called the Turkish saddle. Its function Is to send out to the tissues something which stimulates growth. If too much of this substance Is given out there Is overgrowth; If too ." little, there Is a diminution In size, as seen In dwarfism. The happy mean Is what we call health. Henceforward sickly glanti can blame the pituitary gland. OHKGOY MAY TtKCKIVB II.lHO.OOIr . PORTLAND. Nov. 1 (A. P.) Or- egon may receive tl.180.000 under the 1 roa(lH b mid- C. H.
