this morning on an entirely different
matter, and while was there Mr.. Creel
came in and engaged me in conversa-


matter, and while was there Mr.. Creel
came in and engaged me in conversa-
ton.
Said He Had Made Blunders
on Creel than he is himself. He told
me he considered what he had said
as an inexcusable blunder He does
not believe, never has, and there is
nothing further from his heart than
the opinions his words seemed to i'm
ply;
"He told me he would be willing to
be used wherever the President or the
government wants him, wherever he can
be OF USE, | believe if the committee
would talk to him, it would change
its impression of him. He said that
last night he had written letter to
the committee. He felt that he had
done an injustice to the President, and
the President is the last man in the
world he would wish to be unjust to.
and he wished to apologize to the com
mittee."
Representative Rodenberg interposed
at this point that, for his own part. he
would be glad to accept the apology if
ative Fess added that he doubted if an
apology would be sufficient to remove
the stain Creel had put upon Congress.
II feel that an apology, when it
comes, will be acceptable, as far as it
goes" said Representative Treadway.
but if there were ever a case of a
square peg in round hole, Creel is
that case. And surely the leopard can't
change his spots"
Creel Explained
The Creel letter to the committee
follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Pou:
"While the Rules Committee has
not indicated any course of action
with respect to the resolution of Mr..
Treadway (Which called for investi-
gation) / cannot permit myself to
remain under the imputation of hav-
ing passed public and insulting
criticism upon the Congress of the
United States.
"My estimate of your honorable
body is expressed in a pamphlet is

formation in October, 1917, under the
title, First Session of the War Con-
gress.'
$50 remarkable did the record Of
achievement appear to me that had
it summarized for general distribu-
tion and in the signed preface tried
to bear witness to the courage and
patriotism of the men behind the
record.

uncompelled expression of an honest
conviction, | beg you to believe that

laboring under a delusion. You think
you see the President of the United
States. You are mistaken. Really you
see tired man having a good time"
Arriving at the Pennsylvania Ter
minal at 3:18 p. M, the President was
met by his friend, confidant and ad-
wiser, Colonel E. M. House. The two
did not part company thereafter until
late at night, when Mr.. Wilson retired
to the suite at the Waldorf-Astoria
which always is held in readiness for
Presidential visit.
In the afternoon the President and
the Colonel conferred at the Waldorf
1or an hour or more, then motored up
Fifth Avenue, through Central Park
and along Riverside Drive in the lat
ters machine.

In the evening they dined at the

Altogether it was something of a va
cation for the President. TO-DAY his
time belongs to the Red Cross-his
free gift. '''
The parade which the President is to
review starts south in Fifth Avenue
from Eightieth Street at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. 1t disbands at Four
teenth Street. Seventy-five thousand
persons are expected to march to the
music of thirtysix full bands and a
half dozen fife and drum corps. In line
will be soldiers, sailors and Red Cross
nurses, Red Cross officials, Red Cross
money raisers, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts.

finally, mothers, sisters and wives by
the thousand of men in the service.
For once the Public Library. whose
front is now lined with thrift stamp
booths and recruiting stations, will be
away from the centre of interest. A
big grandstand has been erected at
Twenty Street and Fifth Avenue,
and here President Wilson will review
the marchers.
10000 20 Parade in Brooklyn
In Brooklyn and the Bronx there will
also be parades and celebrations.
Twenty thousand are expected to
march in Brooklyn, starting at Bedford

the afternoon and travelling along
Bedford Avenue to Lafayette, through
Lafayette to Schermerhorn, through
Schermerhorn to Nevins and thence by
way Of Livingston to Court Street. At
Court Street the parade disbands.

New Forces Believed To Be
First Draft Units to
Face Enemy's Guns

Troops Of the "new American army"
have arrived on the Flanders
front. They have been re-
ceived with acclamation by Haig's
men, with whom they will be bri-
gaded. It is presumed they are
the first complete units Of the Ma
tional Army to reach France.
Germany has eighty divisions (about
a million men) rested from the
first drives and ready to throw
into the new effort which seems
imminent. The German leaders
fear American reinforcements for
the Allies, in the opinion of the
British War Office, and they are
determined to strike a new blow
before the United States can exert
its power.
With bright weather has come a
tremendous outburst, of air activ-
ity along the West front. In the
many desperate battles the Allied
f1iers have shown marked superb
ority.
On Wednesday the French brought
down eighteen enemy planes, the
British thirty-seven and the Ger
mans thirty-three. On Thursday
Iieet of British machines bombed
Saarbrucken, fought twenty-five
German planes, and completed the
200smile flight back to their lines
with the loss of only one airplane.
One British Brigade on Thursday
destroyed fifteen German planes
and downed six others.
There has been a growing roar of
the artillery thunder along the
battle lines. Especially in the
Amiens sector and west of Ypres
the German guns have hammered
furiously. London and Paris re-
ported marked increase in the
firing between LOGON and Hinges
and from the Nieppe Forest to
Meteren on the northern front.
and around Hailles, near the tip
of the Somme salient.
In the American sector south of the
Somme in Picardy the firing in
creased suddenly on Wednesday
night, observers reported, and is
continuing.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, May 17.-Troops of
the new American army have ar
rived within the zone of the British
forces in Northern France and are
now completing their training in the
area occupied by the troops which
are blocking the path of the Ger
mans to the Channel ports.
Their commander already has
commanded American forces in
trenches on the French front.
The British officers and men who
are training the new force saw the
Americans are Of the finest mate
rial and are certain to give a most
excellent account of themselves
when they meet the Germans.
The British troops greeted the
Americans not only as comrades in
arms, but as warm friends. and thu
work Of instruction is being contin.
ued in that spirit.
Cheered by British
The American forces on arriving
within the British zone were cheered
to the skies by the sons of Brit
am, many Of whom bore unristak-
able signs Of battle. They had not
seen the Americans before, but they
knew they were coming.
The Americans, on the other
hand, gained all the more enthusi-
asm by the heartiness of the greet
ing which they received from their
oattle-scarred comrades in arms.
The last stages Of their training
before entering the line were begun
almost as soon as they reached their
destination. From that point thew
could hear the rumble Of the not.

must remain an enigma to the out
side world, although the Allied mill
tary heads have now made prepara-
tions to meet almost any emergency.
1t is confirmed to-day that the
enemy has nearly eighty divisions
now which have rested for the past
fortnight and which are ready for a
resumption Of action.
While the comparatively small
American sector south of the Somme
in Picardy is not indicative Of the
entire situation, the renewed activ-
ity here is significant.
Both Sides Alert
On Tuesday and Wednesday the
activity was far below normal. ex-
cept in the air, where the skies
hummed with the throb of the hawk
like airplanes and where both sides
were watching carefully from their
aerial sausages.
Wednesday night the activity be-
low recommended, the guns thunder
ing all night long. The enemy guns
nervously barraged here and there
and in some cases threw shells into
the Allies rear areas. At 4 o'clock
Thursday morning the American
batteries laid down heavy barrage
on our right, where the enemy at
tempted a heavy raid.
This raid was stopped dead. Our
counter battery work during the
night is known to have accounted
for many of the enemy's guns, the
Franco-American fire being aided
by night airplane work.
Observation of the villages in the
enemy's immediate rear shows an
increasing presence of enemy troops.

HERE'S PROOF THAT LYNDEN
Is TENDING TO IT'S KNITTING

LINDEN men and women have done
some effective knitting the last two
months. During January and Feb
ruary, the Lynden Red Cross has
shipped to the headquarters at Bel
lingham the following knitted goods:
252 pairs of socks, sc sweaters, Z
mufflers, pair of bed socks, and 2
pairs of wristlets.
In addition to this, 8 5 hospital bed
shirts, &c pajama suits. and 80 wash
cloths have been sent in. Many more
hospital shirts and pajamas are COM
pleted, or nearly completed, and will
be sent in this month.
The last shipment of these was
declared at Bellingham to be absol-
utely perfect.
All sweaters must be completed
and turned in to Mrs. Frank Knapp
Immediately, as Bellingham will soon
make its last shipment of sweaters
until fall. Lynden knitters will now
concentrate on socks. The Belling-
ham chapter hopes to ship 5,0OO
pairs of socks the last of May, and
LINDEN will supply her quota with
some to spare.
With the new sewing machines,
the Red Cross is amply provided to
keep more workers busy on Tuesday
Thursday, and Saturday afternoons.

Under the leadership of Mrs. H.

The money will be spent in the army

for relief work at the front.
The Y. w. C. A. conducts hostess

friends, thus making it pleasanter
for the mothers and friends of the
boys who are calling on them. The

Mrs. w. H. NAPLES, Mrs. D. L. Beck

each will soon make up the total.
A number of women's organizat
ions of Lynden have pledged sums,
and others will be asked to do so. Ap-
proximately half of the total has al

ISKAGIT COUNTY WILL
NOT HOLD 1918 FAIR
Directors Cast Vote To Postpone
Exhibitions; Give Variety OF Reas-
ons For Failure

Skagit County has called off its
annual fair for this year, giving a
complicated variety of reasons as the
grounds.
The decision was made last week
and is explained by the Burlington
journal as follows:
AT a business session of the dir
ectors of the Skagit County Fair AS
sociation. it was decided not to hold
the regular session of the fair this
year. The decision was reluctantly
reached by united action of all the
members of the board after mature
consideration of the question at is
sue.
Labor shortage on the farm; the
rightful undivided utilization of hum
an activities everywhere in helping
the country win the war; the increase
of departmental maintenance of the
fair; the inability of farmers because
of labor shortage to prepare fair ex-
hibits; and other equally pertinent
reasons were responsible for the ult-
innate decision of the board of dir
ectors to hold no session this year.
However, the board decided to
hold the regular annual farmers pic
mic and patriotic demonstration on
the Fourth. The question, tentative
ly was discussed, of the advisability
of holding a two day fall festival at
the fair grounds, but no definite act
ion was taken.'

FREE TEXT BOOKS NOT
FAVORED AT ELECTION
Lose by Few Votes Saturday; Mrs.
Ii. v. Mounter Is Reelected As
Director

A proposition to provide all pup
lis of the Lynden schools with free
text books lost by two votes at the
annual school election Saturday af-
ternoon. An extremely light vote was
cast, the totals being only "a to %.
Mrs. B. V. Mounter was unanim-
ously reelected director. no oppos-
ition of any kind developing at the
polls.
The question of free text books
has been agitated for some time, and
the vote was taken at the request of
the Mothers Club. Little preliminary
discussion had taken place, and the
few who did vote were unfamiliar
with the probable costs, and advant-
ages and disadvantages of the sys-
Il. Under the law, the directors
have the right to install the system
at any time, without a vote of the
taxpayers.
