GENERAL FOCH TELLS
OF BATTLE OF Marine
Standing On Battlefield Re.
Iates Story of How Ger
mans Were Rolled Back
By w. S. Forrest

Omitted Press staff correspondent
On the Battle Field of the Marne,
Sept. 6.-(Delayed)-S on hills
whose scars of she'll and human saeri-
flee are now mercifully buried beneath
luxurious verdure, France s hero of the
Marne, General Foch, today told a no
table asemblage how the struggling
French armies rolled back the German
horde and saved the nation.
1t 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 for the victorious battle. He spoke
with simple, soldiery directnes, but
his auditors were swayed by the vigof
of his phrases.
Foch's audience included President
Poincare, Premier Ribot, Field Marshal
Joffre, Minister of War Painleve, Gen
eral Petain, commander in chief OF
France g armies, General Steeg and a
score of other notables, including eight
French generals.
Before their eyes stretched a beau
tiful rolling country, now alive with
growing crops. The assemblage beside
the historic and bullet pocked chateau
Mordement, which in 1914 changed
hands a dozen or more times in the des-
perate tide of battle. Below the hot sun
shimmered on the cleaning horns of a
detachment of trumpeters blaring forth
pean of victory while cavalry, lined
up in formal array, flashed their
swords to salute.
Marshal Joffre, as usual, avoided
the forefield of this brilliant assem-
blage. Wearing the same gold braided
cap he wore in America and with the
same blue tunic and red trousers, he
remained silent throughout the trip to
the hill and the recital with which his
subordinate, General Foch, thrilled the
assemblage. He stood up in the back
ground-the 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 the 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 fallen.

tune had been less kind to than herself.
She entered into the hopes and aspira
tions of the people of our city in the
pioneer period, lent encouragement to
all who came in her way. 1t is entirely
fitting and proper thai her remains
should be brought to Salem for burial.
In the midst of the friends of her youth
and maturer years she win rest from
the tolls and vicissituoes that are the
lot of all. In plain view of Mt. Hood
and the snow capped peaks of the Cas-
cade range of mountains she will occupy
place appointed after life's labors.
She has made her way into the distant
valleys of eternity and all that it mortal
of her will be 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 1 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.

AMERICANS PLEASED
WITH FRENCH GUNFIRE
Exhibition by Its Accuracy
Creates Deep Impression
On SamnnieS
By J. w. Pegler

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Headquarters of the American Army
in France, Sept, There wasn't q
single American Sammy today who
wasn't willing to step right out under
French gunfire and go at the Germans.
Yesterday IS 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 was the greatest mock
artillery battle ever staged.
Stretching across valley a mile
wide through alternating green and
brown stripes, like carpet, were the
ackensen, - "Ludendorff, - and
" Rupprecht" trenches. When the guns
behind the "American lines" began to
rear, the trenches were hidden under
geyseds of smoke and shattered soil.
General Sibert and other American and
Frehch generals observed the lombard
ment from point near field tele-
phone, where messages to the batter
les were sent, demanding an ever in
creaslng IRE.
The American soldiers only witness
ed the "front" end of the artillery
feat The guns themselves were sta
toned in forest, hidden from prying
eyes, The Americans did see one phase
of the artillery warfare when ammunf-
tion limbers, deceptively camouflaked,
scurried along nearby road.
Interest of the troops in the lombard
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 and its
tangled wires vanished.
"Attaboy!" yelled the delighted
Americans.
