WAR WILL START IN
EARNEST NEXT YEAR
PEACE NOT COMING SOON, MRAE
TELLS MEETING-SOLDIE
WELL CARED FOR.

Let me warn you against talking
peace. Peace isn't going to come for
a while yet. The war is going to
commence in real earnest next year."
This was one of many significant
statements made by Will G. McRae,
special correspondent of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer who accompanied
the old Second Washington regiment
when it went to France last winter,
during an address to a large crowd
at the United Churches Wednesday
evening.
McRae came here in the interests
of the Washington Parents Associa-
ton. on the invitation of the local
chapter formed few weeks ago. He
expects to spend two or three months
more in the state. organizing the AS
sociation as special home agency to
help the Washington boys in France,
and then plans to return lover there"
He brought to the parents and
other relatives of local boys in over
seas service the positive assurance
that they are receiving best of care,
particularly the fact that
moral conditions are good. He spoke
Of several local boys and what they
were doing when he saw them just !
before he left; paid a feeling tribute |
to the spirit of the French people and
the fighting qualities of the French |
and British soldier, and told of the
the American soldiers had |
given the Allies.
"The Americans sprung the great
est surprise of all on the Boche," he
said when the Boche started to
attack, the Yankees went over the top !,
md met him in no-man's- 's-land. That
s not according to the Boche's sched-
lie and he didn't know what to do.
That's the kind of tactics that are
winning today. The French, by far
he best fighters on earth, are using
he same trick. From now on the
3oche will be on the defensive"
McRae exhibited a number of war
rophies, including gas masks, of the
ierman type as we'll as the American,
grenades and other equip
nent.
