The message which the federal churches Of
America sent TO General Pershing has brought forth
reply that clearly indicates how such expressions
OF feeling from the home base tend to strengthen
his hands and cheer him on His reply is coucbed
in very sympathetic terms and is as follows: IN
name the American army in France
as well as in my own, l thank you for your kind
and stimulating message"
1t is the consciousness that the soldier has be
hind him an undivided nation" General Pershing
continued, which enables him, whatever his rank
to face his task with courage. We Americans have
the added inspiration and encouragement that flow
from the example Of friendship of our allies, who
Tor Tour years have been fighting our battles in

President wilson's letter in reply eliminates the

The trainers Of the Constitution, of course real
lied that the president would seldom be soldier,
and their idea in making him the commander chief
of the army and navy of the United States that

say that organization is in sense and can in
no sense be militaristic."
Nothing could be more timely or desirable than
this occasion, which the president has so acutely
improved for setting the form and substance of
American governmental principles in clear, strong
light for all the world to see The supremacy of

For about the last II years he

the same in each case. He would

you should give him up, but not be-

several boys and not only one.
Dear Mrs. Thompson I am 80
years of age and am going with a
man who is 40. We have been go
ing together for Is years and he
has never asked me to marry him.
When l make a remark about some
of our friends who have been mar

says they are in too much of a
hurry. He always tells me to take
things easy-we have plenty of time
to be married. My friends tell
me he never intends to marry me.
Do you think man should keep a

Irma Moore had been guided by
variety of circumstances in en-

Morton. He was stranger, he
was flashy and not dependable,
Irma had decided at a glance, but
he came along at a time when she
had been having tiff with her
regular escort, BARLEY Dunn, and
Irma felt perveTse and fancied a
good opportunity had arrived for
teaching BARLEY a lesson!"
The latter was in a cantonmeDt
ten miles away, but Irma neither
went to see him nor answered his
letters. Another element in her
flighty ideas OF the moment was
the fact that the brilliant young
stranger had Heen quite taken
with Lucia Teller. That young
lady had once tried to steal Bart
ley away from Irma. At odds with
all the world in her present mood,
Irma was not averse to showing
Lucia that she was still the reg
nant social queen of the village.
and heartlessly began a wild fir
tation with Alger Morton.
She had to confess herself at the
end of the week that she pinned for
her lover true, and the attentions
OF Morton had become wearisome
She was haif-minded TO decline his
invitation 10 an auto drive to the
