Countess Constance yar De Caen Expresses Gratitude To Americans for Their Splendid Assistance
 During the War and Declares That Our Soldiers
 Were Perfectly Wonderful, Courageous and Brave
By DOLLY DALRYMpLE


 SSp EASE @s to ''o,s @%s-sas %a s'''''; ios ,ns 5s, splendid assistance during the war, and I want to say that your sol- diers were perfectly wonderful, courage ous and brave; I became very much at tached to the many American boys l met and found them appreciatve and fine in every way"
 With her pretty brown eyes sparkling, her face radiant with the light of love, her attractive voice, her sweet manner and her chic httle parisienne way, the Countess Constance Hnlyar De Caen, thus declared her admiration and appre- citation of our American soldiers during the terrible war. as she chatted interest ingly with me a few days ago in the most perfect English you ever heard about her part in the great struggle
 Petite, frail-the countess isn't the kind of a person you'd ever fancy as being equal to the tremendous tasks that she accomplished not only for the poulis- the soldiers of her own beloved France but our American soldiers to whom she was mother, sister. sweetheart. friend during all the terrible days over there' when friendship meant more than it has ever meant in the whole history of the world.
 The countess turned over her fortune and her home-her beautiful chateau and all her belonSings to the soldiers, and she was especially interested in the avia- tors, many of whom she declares suffered the tortures of death in their early ca det days, when every inconvenience and every trial that flesh is heir to, was ex- perienced by them.
 Certainly I was delighted to be of assistance to those dear, brave Amerl- can boys; if you could have seen those aViators-those young cadets-the sons of your best gentlemen and ladies in Amer ica, who had given up their homes. their fortunes their careers to fight for their principles and their high standards when they first got to France and the priyations, the misery and the wretched- ness that they suffered, every woman know would have done just what I did; work for them.
 Under the auspices of the Red Cross the Societe Franchise de Secours aux Blesses Militaires, of which the Marquis de Keroman is Le Delegue Regional region being the fifth including Blois, Orleans Vendome and the outlying, districts near these places" the countess said, T started my work: but my work among the American aviators who were stationed at Tours was done on my own initiative; the men had no comforts: opened my home for them; I wrote letters for them; I planned entertainments fo" them; they were welcome to come ana go as they pleased; at first, it was rather amusing to see how some of your Aneri- can boys eyed me with suspicion: they, thought l was a paid government em- ploye and they looked askance at my proffered services but they soon realized that it was my heart and soul I was giving for them and that I neither ex- pected money nor received it and that my government had nothing whatever to do with my work.

Tn the great convent at Tours which was turned into a hospital as many as 150 aviators were brought in at time maimed. blinded, wounded, wretched, and we would have been helpless for want of materials to bind the wounds. and medicines to allay the fever and all the other many necessary things for the sick and the wounded if it hadn't been for your won derful Anericans-who sent Us supplies bandages, materials: everything that the Red Cross could think of and, oh, I wish they could know what it meant to us and to those soldiers.
 And do let me say right here what a splendid work the Salvation Army did she continued, without charging the soldiers for anything, just labor of loVe-they toiled and worked, with heart and soul and right along by the side of them worked another splendid organization. the Knights of Columbus; indeed, I cannot pay too much tribute to these two superb organizations.
 The refuSees-and my work was also with them-and my blind men, too as I called the soldiers to whom I was eyes when theirs had been put out so shame lessly by the atrocious German methods of warfare-were the most pathetic things I ever saw: why. many a time I've seen great ladies-ladies of state come to us with scarcely gar dent on to cover their nakedness I've often torn my own petticoat off to give it to some suffering refugee: and when people ques- tion the truth Of the little F and 13- year old children who were the victims of the German soldiers. I simply laugh at them. I saw too many cases of their fearful treatment of mere children.
 "one particularly famous case in the French courts" said the countess. was tEat of a poor girl who had murdered her baby. When the magistrate who was hearing the case listened to her testi- mony he heard this: Yes, I murdered my baby for it had German blood in it's veins, and when I thought of all that had suffered at the hands of the German soldiers, I murdered my child because didn't want anything that was any thing to me to have a spark of German blood in it's veins And nobody could blame her.
 This visit that I am making to Amer ica is just a little rest after my trying days during the war" the countess said. My American aviator friends asked me to come to the United States and meet their parents, and from California here I have travelled and have met all along the line American boys 1 kneW in France. In Birmingham. Asa Rountree. Jr.. and Henry L. Badham, Jr.. were the two splendid young men I knew over there and it has, been my pleasure to make the acquaintance of their parents and tell them of the bravery and cour- age of their boys
 The charming Countess De Caen wears gracefully the decoration of many of the most notable organizations in France; she has had many honors conferred upon her for her bravery and her splen- did, unselfish work during the war; many names and soubrouets have been bestowed upon her, but the one that she loves most of all--t~a one that is nearest and dearest to her heart-is that which

Rev. F. Halsey Ambrose De
nounces All Forms Of
Radicalisrn.
Socialism was arraigned at the bar

~ rA #E
Socialism was a%rraigned at the bar
81 public opinion last night when
Rev. F. Halsey Ambrose in a strong
preached to a vast audience in the
FIRST Presbyterian church, flayed the
tenets of Socialism and pointed out
some Of the fatal consequences that
grow but of the principle when it IS
applied to modern social and eco
aOmic conditions. In his analysis Of
the subject, M. Ambrose reached
the conclusion that no matter what
may be the name sgiven-communism.
sm-the underlying fundamental the
Dry was always the same. that is, OPP
position 10, and revolt against, the
existfng forms of law and govern
ment. Summing up, Mr.. Ambrose
said that neither organized labor, nor
organized farmers. nor capital desires
to have anything to do with Socialism.
The sermon last night was the
fourth of q series preached by Mr..
ence filled not only the church Edi-
flee proper, but also the parlors and
the balconies. and from time to time
when the speaker dealt out a partic-
ularly hard blow. a volley of spon.
taneous applause greeted his remarks.
SSAOut OF sIheH own Mouths
The text of the evening was taken
from the seventh chapter Of the Cos
pei of Matthew:
Beware of false prophets, which
comsNto you in Sleeps clothing, but
invariably they are %ravening wolves. Ye
shal1sknow them by their fruits. Dc
men gather grapes Of thorns. or figs
Of thistles? Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit. but corrupt
tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good
tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. Every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire. Wherefore by
their fruits We shall know them"
In his opening remarks Mr.. Am.
brose announced that he intended to
do asgpod deal, OF reading during the
cvehing-intended to read from the
works of Socialists so as to judge
them on the strength Of their own as
sertions.
Identical With Bolshcvikism.
In order to clinch his argumen,
that Socialism was essentially the
same as ~Bolshevikism. Mr.. Ambrose
