A MOTHERS PROMISE
 TO HER SON
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

Iy Dear One-Im writing this very, cry small and on the thinneSt of pa ger, so that tightly folded it may slip into one of the olive drab pockets of iour new uniform without encroaching for the tiniest'part of an inch upon all the new things that you must have lhere-the passports and identitica- lion slips and photograph, the knife and pen and writing pad, the lists and numbers and names and ciphers, ,he address book and the thin manual you have been studying so hard and lhe slim little Lible, for this letter is Il part of your equipment, too or at least like to think that 1t is.
 I'm going to tell you in 1t just one pr two of the things we've been try ing not to say in these last days. You've said to yourself, haven't you, that there were possibilities that I, thank God. hadn't seemed to think of. You've marvelled gratefully, haven't you, that l could say goodby with dry eyes and talk about what we should do when the war Is over. My dear. there is nothing g-nothng-that Jan happen to you that haven't fore seen in every detail since May, since fine very beginning of it all l know that some of our men are not going to come back. l know-as 1 write this in the room you love-that your fin gers may tumble for this little piece of paper In some dreadful hour, a month or two months or six months from now. just to read 1t over once more for the last time, just to feel in your fingers out there in a shell lighted battlefield something that have touched-for goodbye.
 And thinking of all this for almost a year while you've been getting ready to go I've been getting ready to

WHEN A CUP OF
 COFFEE TASTES LIKE
 A MILLION DOLLARS
He Got His Cup and Then
 Went onto Death.

Through the establishment of the line of communication canteens in France the American Red Cross is set ting records in serving hot coffee, CO., coa and sandwiches to the troops. One of these refreshment units made an- other new record recently, serving more than 50,000 meals in one week. At another cup of coffee was served every ten seconds for period of two consecutive hours.
 In single week these lines of com rnunication canteens often serve S0,000 American and French soldiers
 Soldiers in Box Cars.
 Do our soldiers and their allies real ly want this form of Red Cross serv- ice? A letter from young American aviator, a 1917 graduate of Princeton University, is probably typical. It might be added that this man has since been reported killed after bringing down German Taube. "A 90 mile train ride over here" he said, instead of taking few hours may take days. When we stop at a Red Cross canteen you can bet that cup of coffee tastes like million dollars"
 It is not always possible for regi- ment to provide sufficient food and hot coffee on these long journeys, where the men must often be packed stand ing into unheated box cars ordinarily used for carrying horses. So imagine for yourself the warmth, the cheer, the comfort that piping hot coffee and good sandwiches bring to our boys aft CT night on such tourney You can just bet that 1t stiffens a mans courage. Your Red Cross is handing out this renewed courage by the piping hot cupful.

ALLIES ASK FOR MANY THOUSAND
 LIBERTY MOTORS
French and British Experts Make Favorable Report on American Engine-All TrOu- ble Overcome.

Washington, May 14.-American hu;lt Liberty motors may first reach +ba fghting lines in France driven by French and British scouts. It was learned tonight urgent requests for early delivery of the American engine have been received from the allies and are being met. Shipments have all ready been made to Great Britain and there are intimations that General pershing approves diverting addi- tional motors to meet French and British requirements even if further delay to production of American scouts results.
 The British government, it is said after a careful investigation of the engine by special expert sent over for that purpose, has been pressing steadily for some thousands of the motors. The French experts at first somewhat doubtful of the motor, are now asking for and will receive en- zines by July 1. Difficulties with over heating alleged, in letter from Louis Camman, read in the senate yester- day, to make the Liberty motor use- less, are declared authoritatively to have been overcome.
 Radiator trouble was encountered particularly when machines which had been operated successfully in northern attitudes were taken south for tests. These have been corrected, it is stated, and the fabrication sys- tenn of the engine improved to the point where no further trouble on that score is anticipated.
 To support their view that the day of delays in aircraft production are over, officials point to the fact that last month saw Liberties" delivered Tn hundreds and to present indications that the output will be doubled this month and steadily increased there after The output last month so fat as Known here was greater than that Of any foreign motor with the possible exception of one of 130 horsepower type used in France. No high power motor approaching the Liberty 45O hgure was within sight of the Aneri- can output. It was to reach that end Tn quantity production it was declared 'nat the Liberty was designed.

AUSTRALIANS IN
 DASH|NC ATTACK
 CAPTURE GROUND
Enemy Had Penetrated the Brit ish Position But Were Driven Back-French Lose a Small Hill.

London, May 14.-In an attack along a mile front near Morlancourt, the Germans penetrated the British positions at one place, Field Marshal Haig reports tonight that at all other points on this line the Germans were repulsed with heavy losses, and that the Australians later recaptured the lost position.
 The statement says:
 'This morning after heavy artillery preparations the enemy attacked on a front of nearly a mile southwest of Morlancourt and succeeded at one point in entering our positions. At all other points the attack was re- pulsed with heavy losses to him and in this one locality an immediate counter attack by Australian troops drove out the enemy and completely re-established our line We captured over fifty prisoners and our casualties were light"

With the British Army in France, May Hill A, small but import ant elevation near the Wyverbeek river, north of Kemmel, about which such sanguinary conflicts have been waged since May 3, appeared today to be in the hands of the Germans again. The enemy began an assault yesterday morning and gained hold at latest reports still clinging tenac- iously to the rugged slopes although the hard hitting French had been pressing the invaders vigorously.
 Hill A has been one of the most hotly contested points on the northern battle field.
