PERSHINC SENDS
GREETINGS TO
POILUS AT FRONT
Aid Speaks to Veterans
Tells EN- We Will Crush
Bodies.

PARIS, June 26.-Four hundred and
fifty OF Frence's veterans bore to the
front trenches today Major-General
Pershing's first message direct to the
poilus. 1t was delivered to them
through Captain E. N Margetts, Per-
shing's aid, at meeting in the Care
du Nord last night.
The $50 were preparing to return to
the trenches. During the day they had
received tuck bags" made by Amer
lean women; had attended luncheon
where some of Frances most famous
stage stars entertained them. and at
night met in a great room in the base
ment for what in America would be
called a smoker"
Officers Are cheered
In the smoke-filled room came
Captain Margetts and Major Churchill
of the American headquarters staff,
amid cheers that reverberated up in
to the great railway station. Mar
gets mounted the stage, held up his
hand to still the cheers, and then in
slow, careful French, said
Comrades: General Pershing re-
grets it is impossible for him to be
with you. He has detailed me to rep
resent him. l bring you good news
from America. l tell you America is
with you. She admires you for the
wonderful things you have done in
these last three years.
I'VE come to fight with you now, to
put the common enemy out Of France.
You must hold on until the American
army is ready. If you do, we'll surely
crush the boches and the final victory
will be ours

:, The fine show bull, owned by Mar
low & McCargar of Mankato, passed
through here enroute from the Wis
consin state fair to the farm near

was given the same honors week be-
fore last at the Minnesota state fair.
This bull has been shown only
four times at state fairs, and has won
grand championship at each show. In
about ten days, he will be shipped to
the Dairy Cattle congress show at
Waterloo, Iowa.
The owners expect to ship him from
Waterloo to the National Dairy show
