CABLES GRATITUDE
OF FRENCH TO THE L. 5

Paris, April S.-President Poin-
care of France has sent forward the
following cablegram to President
Wilson:
"At the moment when, under the
generous inspiration of yourself, the
great American Republic, faithful to
It's ideals and its traditions, is conf
ing forward to defend with the force
of arms the cause of justice and of
liberty, the people of France are fill
ed with the deepest feelings Of
brotherly appreciation.
Permit me again to confer to you
Mr.. President, in this solemn and
grave hour, an assurance of the same
sentiments of which | recently gave
you evidence, sentiments which, un-
der the present circumstances, have
grown in depth and warmth.
II am confident that | voice the
thought of all France in expressing
10 you and TO the American nation
the JOY and the pride which we feel
to-day as our hearts once again beat
in unison with yours.
This war would not have reach
ed it's final import had not the United
States been led by the enemy him
self to take part in it. To every
impartial spirit 1t will be apparent.
in the future more than ever in the
past, that German Imperialism, which
desired, prepared and declared this
war, had conceived the mad dream of
establishing its hegemony through
out the world. 1t has succeeded
only in bringing about revolt of the
conscience of humanity.
"In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ian
language. you have made yourself.
before the universe, the eloquent in
terpreter of outraged laws and a
menaced civilization.
Honor to you, Mr.. President, and
to your noble country. l beg you
TO believe in my devoted friendship.

II is no longer Il night mare, but Il

are all agreed on this, victory must
ultimately crown our efforts. The
thought of defeat should only enter

enough to lnprcss the realization
that it is no taby play and that ev-
cry man and woman in these good
old States has his or her part to niay
in upholdinf the flag that has long
caused this land to be looked upnn
as the freest on earth.
Kentucky has her part to perform
in this war against Imperialism;
Ohio county must help. We have
made a good beginning by Offering
company of as fine men as ever left
the borders of any county. More
such must follow. Mothers must
give up their sons as they have since
the beginning. No son is more 10
his mother than some other boy is

One OF the horrors Of war is the sac
rifice IL brings, but when the time
actually comes for the sacrifice II
ceases to be sacrifice but duty.
and duty is done willingly, Mothers
must willingly permit their sons, of
military age, to march TO the front
and encourage them to make good
soldiers.
