What is the attitude of the French
people toward the Americans? The
French are a very polite people. and,
no matter what their inmoSt thoughts
may be- they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children OF
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon to express In pubic
the private opinions of their parents.
The children of France are crazy about
Americans in uniform. so we gaess
what their parents feel for rs.
On one occasion was passing pcb-
lie school with another Red Cross wo-
man physician In uniform and q
French visiting nurse. The school had
Just been dismissed, and group Of
young boys came trooping out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
a seconds parley young Mirabe4u OF
ABOUT twelve years, the spokesman of
the group, stepped forward, bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America, which was
punctuated by the applause of his ad-
miring compatriots The American
Eaglet could not possibly have scream
ed louder in the United States on the
Fourth of July than it did on that back
street of munition town in France.

ganizG Departments.

Washington, May 15.-The house
passed the Overman bill, clothing the
president with wide powers for re-
organization Of the government for
war purposes.
The measure, which has passed the
senate, will now go to the president
for signature. The vote was 90 70 2.
Not change was made in the meas
ure from the form in which 1t passed
the upper branch in congress. The
opposing votes were Gillett, Of Mas
sachusetts, and Sterling, Of Illinois.
Although Acting Minority Leader
Gillett and other Republican leaders
opposed the bill, it was defended by
former Speaker Cannon, who in q
speech compared the attacks on Presi-
dent Wilson with the attacks leveled
against President Lincoln in the civil
war.
An amendment to exempt the inter-
state commerce commission from the
operations of the measure was de-
feated, 213 to 81.
In his speech Speaker Cannon said
both Democrats and Republicans
would continue to support the presi-
dent in the war until victory is won.
He departed from his subject to at
tack George Creel, chairman of the
committee on public information, and
said that if he had his way he would
take Creel by the seat of the breech-
es and back of his neck and throw him

SAVIOURS
By ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And Goo is thrilling in your tone:
brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid"
Ye are the Christs of this black hour,
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
We bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the MANNED and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
We bid the dead arise!
o World, tina: walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is crucifed
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied!

May ia big enemy ammunition
dump at Canigny was fired by the
American artillery.
At the same time two fires were
started in Montdidier, followed by
numerous explosions.
The positions of the Germans Is
becoming more and more intOlerable.
The Americans are intrenching their
positions more firmly. Any hopes the
enemy might have had of breaking
through in this sector are diminish

The Americans take nothing for
granted, but return the enemy fire two
for one, which is believed to set a
new pace in this sector.
What appears to trouble the Ger
mans most is that the Americans
never turn back when the enemy uses
gas. They give him a double dose of
the same, with everything else the
enemy tries.
