Such is the record which condemns
the irresponsible kaiser and his obse-

tice. Whether they respect treaties or
not is purely a question of convenience,
as they have confessed. How shall the
war be ended by any treaty made merely
with Germanys autocrat and his re-
morseless miitaristic advisers? Truly
it is necessary to re.establish the in
tegrity of treaties in order that there
may be peace

men that the German must be halted
at the Marne-that they were to fight
to the last man-that each man would
die rather than give one step when
the fighting should progress to that
famous old river. 1t is a story easily
told now. The German "halted" at
the Marne-he never made the French
men give one inch from there-and
many of the death-defying little
Frenchmen stood their ground and
died, but it's not on record that one
of them ever gave step. A spirit
such as that is unbeatable. Germany
has never gotten over the surprise she
received at the Marine. She some

LETTER FROM

A. E. F.. France, Oct. 25, 1918.

A. E. F., France Oct. 25, 1918.
Darling Mother;
| have just received nice, lovely
long letter from you and was surely
glad to get it, for it had been several
days since | had one from you, al
though | had recently received one
from isis" and two from Opal which
| greatly appreciated-but there's
none to compare with letter from
mother
Again, last Sunday, | visited the old
Cathedral of which | have before writ
ten you. My second visit was even of
more interest than my former. Truly,
when one walks into this mighty and
majestically beautiful old structure
and looks about at the wonderful
works of art done by the human hand
hundreds of years ago, listens to the
weird and enchanting tones, so soft,
rich and mellow, of the ancient organ,
sees the soft light of many candles
placed about the altar and over the
building, hears the eloquent voice of
the old priest attired in velvet and
gold, sees before him the French peo-
pie sitting so peacefully and rever-
entially listening perhaps to an ova-
ton to their sons, fathers, husbands
or friends who have given their lives
that France might not be crushed
to feel and see these things is, indeed,
