There, will probably be a meeting in
Portland in July which will be an en

have been held in Albany would have

and another convention was to have
been held in Eastern Oregon.
WniTE HOUSE IS
QUITE QUIET .NOW
Washington Jan. 21. Secret
service men. cooks, maids and the
greater number of the retinue of folk
attached to the executive mansion are
on leave these days. The stmnm of
diplomats and celebrities usually to be
found in the reception room at the
western extremity of the building, has
dwindled to an occasional visit of
friends of Sec. Tumulty or the remain
inp few others in the executive offices.
At night one or two lonesome lights
gleam from the windows. Passersbr,
who are obviously visitors in Wash
ington, look toward the building with
interest but without eagerness. A re
turned soldier, small bands of women
and now and then a small group of
Englishmen temporarily in America
or other foreign folk appear asking to
he shown the interior of the White
House.
Quiet prevails at the executive man
sion while the President and First
Lady are away. The atmosphere is
mucn tne same as in the summer
months of ordinary times when the
President removes to the summer
wWo house. Then, however, the
Prna'dcnt tnes with him the execu
tive force, which he left behind on the
European trip.
On Mondays, unless something of
grenter importance interferes, the
cabinet members indifferently conrre-r-ate
for the meeting, nt which Vice
President Marshall is always late.
Other days Secretary Tumulty comes

keep a watch over tho grounds and
gateways, observe these ladies with
indifferent interest.

CAPT. WEATHERFORD
WRITES FROM FRANCE
Second of letters Written by
Ainany lawyer Given
Out by Partner
The following letter from Captain
Mark V. Weatherford has been receiv
ed by hia aunt. Mrs. J. K. Weatherford
of Albany:
Heoerers, France, U. S. Conv. Hoap
No. 1, Dec. 22, 1918.
Mrs. J. K. Weatherford, Albany, Ore-
gon.
My dear Auntie J. K.: It is my
pl-aaure to pen you a few line this
A. M. and I hope it may be possible
to assure you how much I appreciate
your many letters so kindly written
to me since reaching France. The
time nor opportunity permitted my
anawering many of them. My appre
ciation is multiplied when I think of
your thoughtfulness in writing any
how. There have been many times
when a letter was most highly prized
and yours were always among the
most cherished.
My stay in the hospital is now lim
ited to a few days thanks to a com
plete recovery and a most enjoyable
rest. Did not have as good a nurse
as the other time I waa convalescent,
hut thoughts of your kindness to me
then were of frequent recurrence. I
believe there will be no ill effects of
my breakdown. It was just a case of
physical exhaustion. It waa most for
tunate that while in that condition I
did not take cold or suffer some at
tack of illness. I waa in bed about
four weeks and have been almost as
many more in recuperating, but I am
thankful that it was no worse and
that my recovery has been complete.
My service over here has been most
nleanant. The General upon whose
s'rff I was serving was a splendid
man. I grew very fond of him and
enjoyed working under his command
The officers of the staff, and of the
entire division were fine men. I learn
ed to know a large number of them
and my relations with them has of
fered a pleasure that I long shall
cherish. And the enlisted men, the
e-ood old doughboys of our division, are
the salt of the earth. There are none
braver, none better than these good
old Missouri volunteers. God bless
the doughboys.
The division is the largest fighting
unit of the army. It is the big family
oi our forces, it comprises our
crowd" as some might express it.
Months of training, many hard march
es, a few battles, all combine to de-
vcloo an esnecial corps that makes
officers and men proud of their di
vision. So now, naturally, I am very
anxious to get back to my army home
and be with the crowd I know so well
and among friends whose friendship
I treasure most highly.
There is but one sorrow that goes
with us when we return and this is
the loss of many of our comrades. We
saw them fight, we saw many of them
die and numbers carried away wound
ed. If a brave and glorious death can
alleviate the sorrow incident to their
death, the unflinching valor displayed
hy these men may suffice. Absolutely
fearless of danger, brave beyond im
agination, they courted death to
achieve the victory which they knew
could be achieved at no less a price.
One of the pleasant things about
my own humble part in the war has
been the opportunity to see so much
of it and from the different little jobs
I had the honor to do.
When we landed in France the Ger
mans were in the midst of their big
spring drive and had raised a little
trouble with one of the British arm
ies. Our division was placed behind
the army in reserve and to defend the
channel just as we landed. We had
never been armed with machineguns
in the States and those available were
different from the type used in the
States. To acquaint our troops witn
; tne new jju,, m0st of the officers and
' non-coni. officers of the machinegun
j Iin. were ordered tr a school and
j British instructors were provided to
; teach. I was placed in charge of the
srViool and the experience was one of
tha hardest and yet the most pleasant
I have had.
During those three weeks, the guns
on the line could be heard all the time
an( the flashes could he seen at
; night Fritz was bombing around us
1 every night, and taken all in all we
han; what an Er.gliah officer might
call "a jolly Rood time.'

A chastening influence noon tha

Russian agitators were allowed to
conduct their propaganda freely in

assistance from the German extrem

the electorate, but were badly beaten.
