President Wilson Endorses Chautauqua THE WHITE HOUSE Washington 14 December, 1917. My Dear Mr. Flower: It has been on my mind for some time to thank your'orKanization for the very real help it has given to America for the struggle that is con cerned with every fundamental element of nation al life. Your speakers, going from community to community, meeting people in the friendly spirit engendered by years of intimate and understand ing contact, have been effective messengers for the delivery and interpretation of democracy's meaning and imperative needs. The work that the Chautauqua is doing has not lost importance because of war, but rather has gained new oppor tunities for service. Let me express the hope that you will let no discouragement weaken your activities, and that the people will not fail in the support of a patriotic institution that may be said to be an in tegral part of the national defense. Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODKOW WILSON. Mr. Montaville Flowers, President, International Lyceum and Chautauqua Association, Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, Illinois.

Scearce from his sons in France and England: From Robert, in France, written Saturday, Mav 25, "My I'ear Dad 1 received your letter Monday, just about three weeks from the time it was mailed; that is certainly good time for a letter to come clear from the coast. The same mail brought me a letter from Dick, in Liverpool, and it was mailed two days after your let ter was mailed. This week I was out on a pass three afternoons and 1 saw a good deal of the town. I visited one of the old cathedrals, which was built in the 11th century. It is certainly a most wonderful structure, from an architectural point of view. The in terior I did not get to see on account of the lateness of the hour. I stepped inside the corridor and what 1 saw was a vast hall, around the walls of which were paintings and images of Christ and various saints. 1 am going back and go through it when I get another pass. There is another cathedral older than this one, but I haven't seen it yet. This is a good sized hospital, and the boys have the best of care. These nurses are fine women, and they are really sacrificing a great deal in com ing over here. Summer has come and we are now having beautiful weather. The country round about is green as the hills of Oregon. I am going to take a walk over the hills one of these days. I supose by now you have all my letters. I wrote from England the same time that Dick did. In the hos pital we see news from the States every day through the Chicago Trib une, N. Y. Herald and London Daily Mail (Paris editions). There are often many Oregon items in the London Mail, the other day a little paragraph from Hood River about the Carson family rising to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner." Following from Richard, in Liver pool, to his mother, written May 25: "Dear Mother At last I am up and out. Today is the first time I have beenjoutside for six weeks. To think of it, it seems like an age, but the time has gone very fast. I have had a fine time today. The Cunard Steam ship Line entertains the soldiers from the hospitals here with a river trip once a month, down the Mercy river. They provide everything imaginable for entertainment. I'll enclose you a program. As we were going down the river the seaplanes came flying up. They are the first airships I had ever seen inflight. If I was a scribe I could tell you some wonderful things. Just think of it, 14 miles from here is a town called Chester, built by the Ro mans when they invaded England. There is a stone wall all round the town just as it was when the town was first built. There is also a very old Roman church there. While on our trip our boat ran close to shore so we could see the scenery. The towns are certainly beautiful, so picturesque and old fashioued. Today is Sunday and quite a contrast from last Sunday. It was a beautiful day last Sunday and today it is raining. During the week we had thunder storms every day and ended up with a terrible storm ; worse than any we had on the coast." Mrs. Gordon Graham and little daughter, Yvone, arrived Friday from Portland, expecting to remain a few weeks for a visit among Mosier friends. Mrs. Wm.
