YANKEES ADOPTED
IN. DEATH BY THE
WOMEN OF PARIS

Paris, Sept. 8.-On the eastern slope
of Mt. Valerian are buried the $50
Americans who have died in Paris hos
pitals. Although the cemetery has
been in use only three months, it is
sought by reverent American visitors,
and the graves, marked by the inter-
twined colors Of the two republics, are
constantly decorated with flowers.
Not content with acting as god
mothers to the American soldiers who
have returned to Paris on furloughs,
French mothers whose sons have died
that that Liberty might live have
adopted the boys from the United
States even in death. To each little
cross on Mount Valerian, is pinned a
card shown that some woman has
vowed the grave shall, never be with
out a wreath or vase of flowers. Some
of the floral pieces are of elaborate
workmanship. , ea..
From the slopes of Valerian the
beautiful panorama of the Paris re-
gion spreads out, for the impossible
hill is one Of the most effective de-
fenses of the city. Visitors have said
lit seemed to them that even in death
the young Americans are standing
guard over the Paris they died to pro-
tect.
The oldest grave in the cemetery is
that of Private Bought Of the One
Hundred and Second infantry, who
died March 26, last. Most Of the
plates tackled to the wooden crosses
bear more recent dates, however, and
the amjority say the soldiers lying
there belonged to the Marine corps.
"Mort pour la patrie," read the in
scriptions. -.-.

A. C. II'EFORD.
IS CA>,ED TO
HIS Inward.

While his death was e Unexpected
the community was shocked to hear
that Asa G. Tufford had passed away
at hospital in this city Sunday ev-
ening last, after several weeks of Sc
we're suffering. Several weeks ago Mr..
Tufford was brought to the hospital
from his farm in Lake township and
was found to be suffering with a severe
case of appendicitis. An operation
was performed and he apparently was
getting along nicely when he had q
relapse and a second operation was nee
essary. Upon the second operation it
was found that he was in such con-
dition that little hope was held out for
his recovery, but he made noble fight
and while he was at deaths door for
several days he hung to the thread of
life until Sunday.
The funeral took place this after
noon at Bethany church near his homo,
and the remains were laid at rest in
the cemetery near the city. There
was a large funeral, many from this
city and from all over the county
driving there to pay their last respects
to one of our most honored and re-
spected citizens.
Asa G. Tufford was born at Brock
ton, Ont.j Dec. 4, 1864. In 1884 he
came to Devils Lake, being one Of the
pioneers of Freshwater township. Six
years later he returned to Ontario for
the girl he left behind and on Jan. 1.

HARRY HOOKING PRAISED
BY FRENCH PARENT

That the American soldier has won
his way into the hearts Of the French
people and has built UP an unbreaka-
BILE friendship between the two ma
tions, is forcibly brought home to us
by the following letter which was re-
ceived by c. w. Green of this city yes
terday enclosed in letter from Harry
Hooking, now doing duty in the med
ical corp in France. This letter was
written by M. Morgaut, to the chaplain
Of Harry's unit, who in turn placed it
in his hands. This is but one of thou
sands Of like letters that are being
penned every day by the people of that
grand republic whe have in one way
and another been recipients Of Amer
lean acts of kindness, In the fourth
paragraph occurs the word Tor
leanais" which without correct tran
station we presume to mean a reaa-
tive or one Of lineage:

from which the world is suffering.
