French Women Weep At
Graves Of Yanks.
Cemetery On Mont Valerian,
Near Paris, Their Mecca On
All Saints Day.

Paris, Nov. 26. Tears of French moth
ers watered the graves of American he
roes throughout France on All Saints
Day.
Solemn ceremonies deeply reverent and
impressive took place in every cemetery.
France stood with bowed head in devo-
ton and gratitude, saluting the memory
of American boys who died for u.s."
No Memorial Day ceremony in the
States ever was more impressive than
these scenes. All Saints Day always
has been the Decoration Day. of the
French. This year it was of new signifi-
cance.
Nine cemeteries in the Paris district
were pilgrimage meccas. Chief OF them
was the American soldiers cemetery at
Suresnes, on the cty's outskirts.
Graves of the fallen heroes lie on the
slope of Mont Valerian a picturesque
spot overlooking the village of Suresnes
and giving view of Paris in the dis
tance.
Chrysanthemums bloomed everywhere.
The side of the mountain blazed with a
colorfui richness. Each grave was a
floral bower.
The flowers Rad been planted by the
mothers of Suresnes, Every day for
months, rain or not, they have gone to
the cemetery to tend the flowers arm
plants, keep them trimmed and orderly
and to watch devotedy over graves that,
for their tender care might have been
the resting places of their own sons.
The "mother of the cemetery" is Nine.
Quentin of Suresnes. She began her
daily pilgrimages when there were only
seven American graves. Since then she
has assigned 700 graves to the care of
the mothers of Suresnes. She herself
watches over 90 of them placing fresh
wreaths and nursing the growing flowers.
A white wooden cross marks each
grave. 1t bears plate inscribed with
the name, number and regiment of the
fallen hero resting there. Another plate
is AT tne DdSe Ol each CToSS. tHio pidIe
bears the name of the French mother
who has adopted the grave. Tiny Ameri-
can and French flags, crossed, are in
front of each cross.
Thousands of people were in the All
SAINTS Day procession. There were men
women and children. The children car
ried wreaths and fairly covered the
graves with their offerings
The Knights of Columbus conducted
religious services at the Church of the
Madeleine and marched to Suresnes aft
erward. Other cemeteries were not neg
lected. President Poincare personally
made pilgrimage to graves of unknown
French heroes.

Letters From France.

Dear Mary:

Dear Mary:
Have not received any letters since
wrote on the 22nd, but this is not very
bad considering that on the 2lst l receiv.
ed letter that had only been written
three weeks previous.
We have read President Wilson's reply
to Germany's last note, and in my opln-
ion, it is most wonderful document and
will bring things to a crisis and force the
Boche to unconditional surrender.
surely would hate to be serving with
an army that has been retreating like the
Germans have of late. 1t is some job to
be always ON the move. We take our
time to pack and move.
The boche fighters are not all getting
away, as the numbers being sent back
from the front almost continuously plain
ly show. Fighting has slowed up some
just now, but there is plenty more in
store for the enemy if he elects to con-
tinue the fight. 1t just seems that ev-
erything is with US this year, even Prov
idence, as the weather is scarcely ever
so nice at this time of year. Last year
the rainy season began in September. |
don't believe the new year will see any
little old war over here.
have just received nice double wool
blanket, several pairs of beautiful white
wool knit socks and knit helmet. A
wealthy lady from Boston was here dis
tributing a great quantity of these things
to our new replacement troops and we
had Que man from our office at the re-
placement camp checking up our records
and he brought these things in for me-
A very interesting thing in connection
with this is that found note from a
Miss Mabel Holt of Marlboro, N. H., in
one of the socks saying, that as these
were the first socks she had knit she was
anxious to know who received them.

Il used Black-Draught as a laxative.
1t is splendid for breaking up colds.

tightness in the chest. One cup of

instant relief.
This spring my little daughter be-
gan having chills. the hard, shaking
kind. After the chills her fever
would rise and her head would ache.
We ire good ways from the doctor,
SO just began giving her good doses
OF Black-Draught and it cured her.
She is in good health. has a cool COL

Don't wait until you have head

other disagreeable symptoms, but
take an occasional dose Of Black.
Draught to help keep your system
free from poison, your body in good
health.
Made from purely vegetable in
