in effect, President Wilson cannot
leave the country for Europe without
passports. 1t is probable, however,

delegation. The question has not yet
come up for decision in the state de-
partment at Washington.

FROM A FRENCH MOTHER.
Aubusson. Oct 1918

AupuSSOH, Oct., 1918.
Dear Mrs. MARSHALL
1 received your letter dated Sept
15 Many thanks for your kind letter
and also for your picture you sent us
it pleased us very much. Through
this photo we were able to get ac-
quainted with you, but were indeed
very grieved to learn you he'd lost
your dear husband before the war.
Now about my little boy He goes
to schools; we have schools every-
where in this part of France. He ID
learning very well and his teachers
are pleased with him.
/ see by your letter that you have
no children. God knows if you are
not better off. How many mothers
have their hearts broken to have their
husbands and sons go off in this ter
rible war.
You mention your brother and ne
phew. They will probably pass and
come out on the battlefield. 1t is to
be hoped they will not come for we
all think here that this terrible war
is coming to an end. The Germans
will not last much longer. Never we
French people will ever forget what
America is doing for us. They are
our saviour. Wilson is the greatest
man for the humanity. / thank YOU
very much in the offer you mention
in helping me, it is so kind and gen
erOus of your part in what you are
doing already for our little Henri
1 assure you it is quite a help for me
I am working at home for the Aubus-
son Tapestry. They give work to
mothers who cannot work out in fac
tories. OF course as you know life
has become very hard and the living
is out of price. In these regions it is
very cold in winter. We cannot find
any coal and are forced to burn wood
at an awful price. Four years is
very hard to get along when one is
all alone without their dear husband.
The work here is very poorly paid.
So far since | have lost my dear
husband we have been, 1 and our lit
tie Henri, in good health, though Eu-
rope is infested with this miserable
Spanish Grippe. 1t is hoped we will
not be attained for it is very fatal.
I am certainly more than happy
for you to say Our little Henri. 1t is
so very kind of you I have this on
ly child. I received in due time the
money you sent. Many and many
thanks.
Hoping to hear of you soon, with all
good wishes from us both and hoping
to see soon the end of this miserable
war, believe me my dear Madame,
Your dear friend,
Nine. Boyer
am lady who is stopping here for
a short time and obliged Nine. Boyer
in writing in English. 1 am an Amer
lean myself. l am from the state of
California. 1 am living in Paris.
Nine. Boyer is nice little woman and
also her little boy She is a hard
worker but as you know life is so diff
ferent here than in the U. S. The
wages are so small. Now be so kind
to not send any more American
stamps. They are no good in France.
Hereafter she will write in French as
am not to stay here at Aubusson
much longer.
Yours truly

uartment at Washington, that every
effort is being made to report prompt
ly the complete record of casualties

lists.

France Edward nj. House, Gen. Tas-
ker H. Bliss.
No active division of the American
expeditionary forces can be landed In
the United States before Christmas,
Secretary Baker at Washington said.
The policy of returning first the thou
sands of casuals and the auxiliary
troops from England will postpone the
movement of f1rst-line troops who have
been designated for release by General
Pershing.
Deaths in the navy from "war
causes" totaled 1928, Surgeon General
BREASTED told the house naval commit
tee at Washington, which is framing
the 1920 naval appropriation bill. No
figures were given as to deaths from
disease.
In further revision of the war reve-
nue. bill the senate finance committee
at Washington struck out entirely the
proposed federal license tax on use of
automobiles and motorcycles, which
ranged from $40 to $50 annually in the
house bill, according to horsepower,
and from So to $50 under the plan
previously adopted by the senate COM
mittee.

this appeal brought a sum of $1,000
10000 in Liberty Bonds; now, it is IS
suing bonds called Baby Bonds, which
every one can buy if he wishes, and we
should. When our parents give US mon
ey to buy things for our pleasure, We
ought to save it and buy War-Saving
Stamps at Is cents, or get Certifi-
cate for Sab and in five years, that is
in 1923, We will receive $500 from the
government. Therefore we will not only
benefit ourselves by doing this, but we
will have helped our country to win this
war: and if each child in the country
can own two War-Saving Certificates at
the end of 1923, we children can Ger
tainly say that we tried to do our best.
