and prayers of our mothers, mixed with pride, loyalty and self-sacrifice on our part, we soon will have the greatest enemy to present civilization conquered. Then why should any American boy hesitate, or even argue in his mind the chance to go on and destroy these dirty beasts called Huns?
 Perhaps you will never know or five" never realize again the consol- ation of "Thoughts of Home and Mo- ther," or the value of love to Ameri- can boys. It has won battles and to- day is pushing on toward that great goal set by our beloved president. We sit in our billets and argue who has the dearest mother, and of course each one is so predjudiced that he can't be convinced that any one is right but himself. Just now one of the boys remarked that he couldn't picture any boy not thinking, his mo- ther was the sweetest mother in the world, and I told him l couldn't either, if theirs had done as much for them as mine had for me.
 This is another rainy Sunday and along with such a day comes that tiny bit of homesickness, yet l would not come until it's all over for the world.
 The present war conditions remind me of relay race. The allies run the Huns so far each day they have to let them go ahead at night in order to give our boys time to eat and sleep. But the time is near when the Huns won't have anywhere to run. That's the finish, and then that old slogan comes true, Berlin or Bust"
 Today all France is rejoicing over the success of the allies and any one who could only hear the praise of America by these people would think as I do.
 Now, mother dear, don't worry about me, for I am dandy and will soon be coming back to you better boy and more able to be a pleasure and repay you for all the worries l ever caused you. Love to Maude and the kids, oceans for yourself, each wave a kiss and each drop of salt wa ter a hug.
 Forever your devoted boy,
 Kirk.

SECRETARY McADOO
 HAS RESIGNED BOTH
 HEEJCIAJ pESIT'{lN

Washington, Nov 22.- William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, director general of rail- roads and often discussed as one of the presidential possibilities of 1920, has resigned both his offices to re- turn to private business.
 President Wilson has accepted his resignation Mr. McAdoo will give up the treasury portfolio as soon as a successor has been selected He wish ed to lay down his work as director general of railroads by January l, but will remain if the president has not then chosen successor.
 Upon the new secretary of the treasury will devolve the task of if nancing the nation through the tran sition period of war, to peace, which probably will include at least two more Liberty Loans and possibly a further revision of the system of war taxation.
 Letters between President Wilson and Mr. McAdoo, made public today with the announcement of the resig- nation, give Mr. McAdoo's reasons for leaving the cabinet solely as l e. cessity for replenishihg his ersoaal fortune, and express the presidents deep regret at losing his son-in-law from his official family.

Newse states the following:

News" states the following:
 "Since the day that those in charge of the matter in Chicago decided not to close the churches on account of the epidemic, but permitted the peo- pie to come together to pray, the dis ease rapidly declined, and compared with other. cities. with smaller pop ulation, whose churches were closed, the number of deaths is much less" This is a practical illustration of how God still has matters in hand, and it would be wise for Newport to follow suit at once.

 Or. P. M. of N. Y. City, Dear Frances:
 If think back to the time when first got acquainted with the people around Beedeville it seems like I am writing to a small child. 1 remem- Der going to your house to a party one time and 1 think you must have been sleeping in cradle. Hal Ha! But that has been some few years ago. The few letters you wrote me were as newsy as any letters 1 have received, so l am glad to get letter from you if you care to write.
 Everytime we get new mail every body is glad to get letter from home and friends. They have a flag they raise up over the postoffice every time they get new mail and all of us keep our eyes on that flag to see when it is up. You can see the flag from any place in the camp. That is novel way to let us know, but it certainly works.
 I think they should have called this country Gloomy France instead of Sunny France for it has been cloudy most of the time lately. 1 guss this is not the worst place in the world and I know it is not the best.
 If fellow wants to SOW wild oats this is a pretty good way and place to SOW them, but as l had mine al- ready sowed and they didn't profit me anything, I am not interested in the business
 It seems so strange to me that this country is so much older than the states and is so far behind the times. The trains are worse than the "slow train through Arkansas" Guess you have heard about it and have proba bly, seen one of them. The cars here are divided into what they call apart ments that are just large enough for ten people, or as they say places. One time I went to Soulac and when l got on the train to come back l got into first-class apartment and as it against the laws of the French government for American soldiers or sailors to ride first-class 1 had to get out. So by that time all the other seats were full, so 1 had to ride the top of the cars to get back to the way it wouldn't have seemed so bad, but the worst of it was 1 had to pay my fare and bum too. 1 sure thought of our "slow train through Arkan- sas." Soulac is beautiful little summer resort on the sea coast and has a fine bathing beech. l never had been in bathing in the ocean, so I thought I would take advantage of the opportunity, which I did, and it was certainly fine. If you ever get the chance take advantage of it. am sure you would enjoy it. The day was there big, little, old and young seemed to be having the time of their lives. The waves were coming in three and four feet high and it was a hard matter to stay on your feet.
 bordeaux has some beautiful parks nd monuments and also some artis- c buildings Several old churches re located in the town, but the iarg- est is an old Catholic Cathedral that hey say was built back in the 18th century.
 The other day was working along the road and I counted five ways of conveyances. First, the auto, oxen, donkey, horse, and even saw man roinp along with two dogs hitched to
