WHAT HENRY IS DOIXQ Henry Ford, ex-paclfiat, reports that be, hit men and his plants are now "100 per cent tor the war." In proof thereof he announce that he has entirely stopped the manufacture of pleasure cars, that he Is making no cars or trucks ot any kind except tor the use of the government, and all his company's resources are being devoted to the manufacture of war material and equipment. ' This policy Is to be pursued as long as hostilities last. Among his numerous war products are "Eagle" boats, of which he ex pects soon to be turning out two very three days; Liberty motors for airplanes, ot which his Detroit plant completed 600 In August; gun cats sons by tbe thousand, and diea for all tbe machine that stamp out sol diers' "tin hats." There are 3,000 stars In tbe Ford service flags, says the fliver king, "and there out to be 30,000, for we are all in the game." FRENCH "TIGER" STANDS FIRM No cleaner' paean of . victory has been heard, in these glorious weeks ot allied success, than that of Pre mier Clemeneeau, the "Tiger" of France. Not tbe least notable thing about bis utterance is Its essential Americanism. , i ' , " ' -The splendid victories of recent weeks," he says, "In which the spirit ot our allies has so magnificently wtt.alA.1 haa riaflnttpltf llfttled thA fnrtnnn of war. The enemy, be - wlldered. deceived himself as to bis own strength and now Is finding out that he underestimated us. "The results achieved are the first fruits of our harvest of rewards, the highest of which will be having de livered the world from ruthless op pression and brutality. "We hall the dawn the first gleams of which brightened the vic torious brows of tbe founders of the American republic and of the fath ers of our resolution. The last ob nts.de to the establishment of rights among men is aoom io uisaim". Tha trinmnh is near "Universal cooperation toward the world's rejuvenation will attain tne Ideal goal for which so many gen erations have been striving." Here Is tine proof that our French allies are one with ni In tbe spirit with which -we are fighting and the ideals that we are atrlving for. Brit, sn sentiment I probably no whit be kind the .French) but even a Lloyd' George could, hardly put it so elo quently. Unlets a woman feel that she can ' give, her undlvided( time and atten tion, and consctentlou service to be cause for which America and her al lies are fighting, she must choose FANCY HALF 10c KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY FIRST another kind ot war work than can teen service overseas. "Keep silent, know nothing and shnig your shouldeia," Is the ad vie German Officers are giving their men who might be taken prisoner, but many ot the German soldier who have fallen Into American hands can't bide tbelr jubilation over get tint; out ot tbe kaiser's clutches, and talk freely. ' Two Letters From Daaa Ament Somewhere In France Aug. 4. 1918. Dear Folks: No doubt you have noticed a gap In my letters, and possibly yon will have surmised tbe reason from my last letter; at an rate we have mov ed and are now enjoing such rest as soldier gets while on active ser vice In the war tone. Our company Is now bllllted on a beautiful chateau grounds and tbe long roms ot "pup" tents In which we sleep and spend our leisure dur ing tbe frequent rains, form an Im posing little village. We drill In the mornings and part ot the afternoons. Tbe rest of tbe time Is our own and as one bt France's famous rivers is near at hand, tbe warm days find most of us splashing around In the warm water, much to tbe amusement of the French population, who seem to have not realized the benefits ot the river other than for washing clothes. Mondays and Tuesdays find tbe hanks lined with women, an umbrella stuck In the mud over them and down on their knees scrub bing away with a brush, tbelr clothes lying on a flat rock. , Ot course there are a few good- looking French girls In town and they receive the attentions of the soldier boys. Just what our special work will be In this sector Is not known to tbe most of us. Of course It wni be road work of some sort or another near the line of advance, we hope. There is considerable talk ot dividing the company up and placing service troops under our direction at the job. Of course that would suit us to a T. but is really beyond our hopes as yet. In the meantime have been studying up in some engi neering books I have, and have been sort of supplementing my college work In subjects which might prove useful to me In the future. My work with this company having been mostly In the quarry, I suppose will be handicapped In getting lchance at the new work. Aug. 12, 1918. Well, I have been on the hike since I wrote you last, and today Is sort of a day of lelBure. We have been passing through some of the interesting parts of Fiance, and at oresent are eamoed In one. and I might say a hot one, too, from sev eral points of view. I could give Tml .ome TerT tnterestlnR and grew ,.ome poInter8 of the war If I were only at home now. However, I'm in the onlv home I know, which is a little A shaped pup tent just big enough to crawl Into, laying on my blanket writing, My bunkle to whom belones one half ot the tent if also writing home. He is front Tennessee. far as I know there Is no place to spend it within mile. Our cetef di version at present Is hunting sou venir ot departed Bocb,. and I will say that our luggage will have In creased several pounds In weight by the time we move again. ' Today being quite warm a number ot the boy can be found at the prin cipal municipal bath or wash house. It Is situated out on a hill and his the distinction of being the only bouse In (his vicinity which does not r - ' SOLDIER LETTERS GRAIN RICE lb, have a ahull hole la It. Tbe wash house are a common thing lu tbe French village and are generally square, built ot stoua with the roof sloping In to the center but not com pletely closed. The center ot the houses has a large cement or stone tank built In tbe floor with sloping Ides on which the old women . and soldiers come and lay their clothes and go to It with a flat paddle or scrubbing brush. The water Is us- nally supplied from a spring or creek near by and that la the reason that this house Is In the middle of a wheat field. There are about 40,000 flies here to the square Inch. They are nice fat amiable ones who don't even bother to fly away when you shoo them. When eating you just grasp them firmly between tbe thumb and fore, finger and pull them off your food. About the only way you ran get any satisfaction with your meals is to set a piece of bread with a lit tle syrup on It to one tide of your Place your mess kit near this and the files will leave you for the syrup. Shortage of syrup, however, makes this practically Impossible. While speaking ot these things I will say we bare also become accustomed to the familiar cootie or seam squirrel, and In spare moments read our shirts with the Interest with which yon read 'the Oregontan. Well, I'll close and hike over to and. see If they have estab lished a Y. M. C. A, there or not. Good bye and love to all. DANA. 'i From lien Coutant - On Active Service with A. E. F. France, Aug. 1H, 10IH. Dear Folks: Have your letter ot July 7th. It came the 14th of August. Was right glad to get Ralph's address, but when I went to find him I found that he had been transferred to an other division. However, we moved again Into the vicinity of his divi sion and I have walked my legs off trying to locate htm. It seems thst things Just happen over here and yon can't hasten them by trying to chase them up. We are now camping In the woods about five mile east, tbe way the crow flies, from the last one, and I can't imagine It being permanent. Tn fact I think a camp we can call our Is very remote. But you never can tell. I can't tell you what I have seen but I can say that I have seen a thousand different thing of interest which I can tell you about when I get home. ah inaicauons snow that we are to get a little more pick and shovel FIFTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL Oregon r 4 SALEM SEPTEMBER 23-28 Splendid exhibits, dally lecture and demonstrations on food production aal conservation; high class amuse-v meat, attraction and entertainments; an excellent rao lag card; Ideal camping grounds, and the beat of ar commodation for both exhibitor and visitor.
