Forrest (United Press staff correspondent) On the Battlo Field of the Marne, Sept. 6. (Delayed) Standing on hills whose scars of shell and human sacri fice are now mercifully buried beneath luxurious verduro, Prance's hero of the Marne, General i'och, today told a no table ascinblage how -the struggling French armies rolled back the Oeruian horde and saved the nation. It was a solemn ceremony of recon-secration- Foch stood on the very hill on which in 1914 he received and per sonally executed Marshal Joffre's or ders tor the victorious battle, .tie spoue wiltih simple, soldiery diroctjies, but his auditors were swayed by tho vigor of his phrases. Foch's audience includod President Poincare, Premier Ribot, Field Marshal Joffro, Minister of War Painleve, Gen eral Petain. commander in chief of France 's armies, General Steeg and a score of other notables, including eignt French cenerals. Bcforo their eyes stretched a beau tiful rolling country, now alive with 2rowine crops. The assemblage besido the historic and bullet pocked chateau Mordemcnt, which in 1914 changed hands a dozen or more times in the des perate tide of battle- Below the hot sun qhiminered on. tho gleaming horns of a aetachment of trumpeters blaring forth a nenn of victory while cavalry, lined up in formal array, flashed their swords to a salute. Marshal Joffre. as usual, .avoided the forcfteld of this brilliant assem blage. Wearing the same gold brawled cap he wore in America and with the same blue tunic ana rou trousers, no remained silent throughout the trip to the hill and the recital with which Mb subordinate, General Foch, thrilled the assemblage. He stood up in the bacit "round tho mon whose genius presid ed over all the great operations of the Marne silently and yet interestedly hearing every word of the recital. After the meeting on the hill, the party toured tho battle ground below. Here and there it was dotted with crosses on the graves of heroes who had died usually dug on the very spot where the man had lallen.

AMERICAN'S PLEASED WITH FRENCH GUNFIRE Exhibition by Its Accuracy Creates Deep Impression OnSanimies By J. W. Pegler (United Press staff correspondent) Headquarters of the American Army in France, Sept, 7. There wasn't a single American Sammy today who wasn't willing to step right out under French gunfire and go at the Germans. Yesterday's exhibition of French ar tillery fire made a deep impression on the men. Thousands of American soldiers sat on the rim of a mammoth amphithea tre and watched guns harrow a big section of the peaceful countryside in what probably wag the greatest mock artillery battle ever staged. Stretching across a valley a mile wide through alternating green and brown stripes, like a carpet, were tne Rupprecht''' trenches. When the guns behind the "American lines" began to rear, the trenches were hidden under geyscds of smoke and shattered soil- General oibert and otner American anu French generals observed the bombard ment from a point near a field tele phone, where messages to tho batter ies were sent, demanding an ever in creasing fire. The American soldiers only witness ed the "front" end of the artillery feat. The euns themselves were sta tioned in a forest, hidden from prying eyes. The Americans did see one phase of the artillery warfare when ammuni tion limbers, deceptively camouiiaKcu, scurried along a nearby road. Interest of the troops in the bombard ment was intense.-Toward the last it was noted one stake of wire entangle ment remained untouched. A command was telephoned to the gunners. Anoth er single roar and the stake anu its tangled wires vanished. "Attaboy!" yelled the delighted Americans.

Their refinement and elegance of manners indicated their so cial and intellectual attainments. Col. Bell died a few years ago in Portland and was buried here. Mrs. Bell was steadfast in her friend ship, unyielding in her loyalty to her family and friends.

It is entirely fitting and proper tliWt her remains should be brought to Salem for burial. In tho midst of the friends of her youth and maturer years she will rest from the toils and vicissiluoros that are tho lot of all. In plain view of Mt.

She has made her way into the distant valleys of eternity and all that it mortal of her will bo brought from the met ropolis of the nation to be buried among the old, old friends of long ago. In the death of Mrs. Bell the past history of Salem passes in review be fore me and I recall the sturdy virtues of the pioneer men and women and par ticularly those of this good woman. She will be long remembered by the old friendsfor her sincerity of purpose and high ideals.
