ION active service with the American
expeditionary forces
Dear W.: As you see, | am with the
| Y. M. c. A. / cannot say where, but pos
sibly you know. Five of us came down
| from Paris last Thursday and are the
first women canteeners sent out by this
association. We have found plenty to
do, l assure you There are many thous-
and troops here and they all seem to
want to be fed.
"A very nice girl from Pittsburg and
are working in one canteen. We have
a little garden with a kitchen off it and
there until 10 o'clock at night we serve
ice cream, sandwiches of all kinds, tea,
coffee, cocoa and soft drinks 1t is a
continued stream all day. We have three
French maids and two little boys. so we
have plenty of help 1t is such fun and
never since I came to France have / felt
so useful. The soldiers seem so grateful
for what we do and they are so homesick
and love to have someone to talk to,
and the longer they stay with us the
longer they are out of mischief.
"The other night at 10 O'Clock we had
an official visit from the colonel com
handing the forces and his staff He
made us very nice speech, thanking
us for what we were doing and warning
us that we are now militarized and must |
absolutely conform to all military rules !
He said the first, last and only thing
to be thought of was to beat the enemy |
and anything that could be done to keep
the troops in good condition was aiding |
to that end. am so happy in this new
work and so glad ] came.
"The Y. NJ. c. A. house has two living |
rooms and writing room, besides our
garden. They have piano and the men
sing all evening. It's inspiring to hear
them. They want all the popular songs
they can get, so when you go back to
town if you know anyone who has them
10 spare, get them and send lot over.
"Our men are such nice looking boys.
They seem very clean and are certainly
vigorous Physically, they appear much
stronger than the French, but | doubt
f they will endure hardship as well.
They seem more immature for their age
ind not nearly as well educated"

Dr.. Cone Speaks0n
Abraham Lincoln
Mems Club of Methodist Church
Entertains Wives of Members
at Annual Meeting

The Mems Club of the Metho-
dist Church entertained the
wives of it's members at the an
'nual Ladies Night" at dinner
in the church dining hall Mon
day evening. About seventy per-
sons were present. Dinner was
served by the Gallea Bros. as
sisted by several young men of
the church. Following the din
ner F. G. Hubbard, president of
the Club, introduced Rev. Cone
of Mankato, who gave a most
excellent talk on Abraham Lin
coin.
Mr.. Cone opened his talk by
telling, with a beautiful SIM
plicity and sincerity, the story
of Lincoln's boyhood, youth and
manhood; picturing his fight
for an education with poverty
as his opponent; his constant
preparation to meet whatever
opportunity or problem Life
might offer him; his mental
thirst and soul hunger; his faith
in himself which was justified
by his faith in God, and his final
attainment and achievement as
the greatest American of his
age and one of the greatest men
of all time.
In delineating Lincoln's char
acteristics Mr.. Cone spoke of
him as an exponent of prepared
ness for life and life's opportun-
tiles, this quality urging him on
until he became a "nlarvellously
well educated man." of the great
heartedness which finally won
the heart of the South and the
esteem of all the world, his big
ness which made him place hui
mainly above policy, party or
politics, his IMPLYING of that
Christianity which, while he was
the member of no church, made
him lead an exemplary Christian
life, put absolute trust in God
and the teachings of Christ,
which made him love folks and
find himself in sacrifice for folks.
Rev. Cones talk showed him
to have been a student and low
er of Lincoln and was charac-
terized by a simple directness
and an appreciation of the fine
ness, humanness and humor of
his subject which made his pic
ture Of Lincoln a very valuable
one.
