THE LOVE LETTER.

You may write thousand letters to
the maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter that you
love her more and more.
You may praise her grace and beauty
in thousand glowing lines,
And compare her eyes OF azure. with
the brightest star that shines.
II you had the pen OF Byron you would
use It every day,
In composing, writing worshlps TO
your sweetheart far away.
But the letter far more welcome TO an
older fonder breast,
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy whom she loves best.
Youthful blood Is force and flowing.
and when writing 20 your love,
You VIII rave about your passion,
swearing by the stars above;
Vowlng by the moonlights splendor
that the grille you adore,
Is the one youD ever cherish, az no
maid was loved before.
You Will pen full many a promise, on
those pages white and dumb,
That you never can live up TO In the
married years TO come;
But much moro precious letter,
brings more and deeper bliss,
ls the letter to your mother, from the
boy she cannot kiss.
Sho will read it very often when the
lights are soft and low,
Sitting I'm the same old corner, where
she held you years ago,
And regardless TO It's dlctlon, or its
spelling or It's style,
And although It's composition would
provoke a critics smile.
In her old and trembling fingers II be-
comes a work OF art.
Stained by tears OF Joy and sadness, as
sho hugs II to her breast;
Yes the letters Of all letters, loob
wherever you may roam,

Secretary Baker Announces
U. 5. Is Six Months Ahead
of Schedule
WILSON PRAISES
COUNTRY'S RECORD

WASHINGTON, July Announce
ment was made by President Wilson
yesterday that more than a million
American troops had left FOR France TO
wage war against the common enemy.
The President made public a letter rom
secretary Baker which he regards as
welcome news to form part Of the ma
lions national holiday
The exact figures of troops shipped
overseas up TO and including June 20
Is i.0i9,ii5. This represents roughly
thirty divisions, Mr. Baker explained,
zach division consisting OF about 1880
lombst troops exclusive Of non-com-
baiants, who bring the total 10 more
thsn a million men.
The nation IS six months ahead Of
schedule IN shipping American man
power to the battle areas abroad Sec
Rotary Bakers estimate OF a million and
half available American soldiers which
be made at the beginning OF the year
.an now be revised 90 read two million
md a half. The number Of Americans
available this year may be even greater.
zone significant thing Secretary
Baker said after his letter had been
given out. was that after the German
submarines made their appearance here
m June we answered this by sending
more troops over"
OF the i.Oi9.ii5 troops shipped, ap-
proximately 20 per cent, are combat
troops, that is troops which actively
,ngage IN the fighting against the
enemy.
The record OF monthly shipments
rhows that June eclipsed all previous
records. with an average Of 9,2i2 Ameri- |
ean soldiers leaving for France every
fay. Mr.. Baker does not believe it wise |
10 make past achievements a basis OF /
ipeculation for what is 20 follow, but /
ihere IS every reason 20 believe that the /
,ecords IN sending men overseas will /
till further increase rather than de-
lrease.
The biggest jump IN getting men to
France occurred IN May, when the
record eclipsed that Of the
preceding month by i2l.i33. it n noted
also that the number Of Americans
shipped overseas began 70 Increase by
caps and bounds shortly after the Ger
man drive BEGAN ON March 2l
On the matter OF equipment Secretary
Baker explained that Is was adequate.
Nj fears and forebodings as 20 shortage /
" rifles. machine guns or other neces-
AIRY material have proved groundless |
wing 60 the progress made all along |
Me line IN speeding up war supplies.
In the matter OF training troops the I
arrangements made by General persh- |
hg for completing training IN rnrone
have proved eminently satisfactory and
have enabled the War Department TO
Utilize available shipping without regard
10 whether the men scW were ade-
Euately trained. There u always the
opportunity provided for completing
ne training over theSo, lt Is explained.
