FOR GIRLS ONLY!
SEND THIS BACK
TO REASSURE HER

Here is some sage advice "for girls
only" but soldiers may look. Who
wouldn't, with such lead? They
always do.
Many and often have been the ar
ticies in newspapers anent the charms
OF French girls, and possibihtles Oh
Yanks succumbing to the aforesaid
charms, howbeit they may have en-
gagged their affections before taking
the overseas trip. The New YORK
Tribune, however, has its own opin-
ion on this delicate subject, and pro-
ceeds editorially, in this line:
''Is there justification for the fear
that a large number Of our soldiers
in France will bring home French
wives, or, even worse, remain IN
France with them? So far cases or
the sort seem to have been rare. Yet
sharp controversies as to the COM
parative merits of French anu
American girls have broken out mere
and there. The domestic nature OF
the former, their willingness and ht-
ness to be true helpmates, have been
lyrically celebrated. American men
will no longer be contented, we are
told, with American girls.
"Sad news, IL true-but is it true?
Many of the critics of our home prod
uct write in bitter, not to say vim
dictive, strain. They say that Amer
lean girls are selfish, too fond or
dress, adopts at spending money but
not at saving it, And they point out
that men who have taken part in the
stern arbitrament of war will no long
er be attracted by frivolity, that they
will look for sensible companions and
that, above all else. they will have
an aversion for powder and paint.
s'This sort OF argument is based up
on the assumption that donning kha-
XII works a transformation in the
wearer quite beyond nature. 1t Is
easier to believe that the soldiers Will
come back much as they went away,
so far as the essentials of character
60. Their tastes or their opinions
may be modified, but they will doubt
less marry the same kind of girls they
would have married II they had
stayed here. There is no reason for
concluding that they will have
learned to prefer French girls to Am
erican. Why should they? You can
not take q type OF girl and label It
French or American. II the ''felic-
ity of unbounded domesticity" 10
what the returning soldiers want.
they can find it in New York quite az
easily as in Paris.
"But few men marry in that delib-
crate fashion. They see in the girl
they love what they want to see. and
as their infatuation grows they throw
ell their theories to the winds. Let
a man talk about fdressed-up dolls''
rs he will; let him dcnounce first aid
to the complexion; it viii not matter
in the least when certain pair OF
eyes look into his.
''No-the American girl need not
worry about rivals, French or other.
She remains supreme. Our soldiers
have suffered no such sea change as
that"

fact that for nearly an hour the roof
of the great convention hall trembled
to the shouts OF "We want Teddy"
voiced by delegates from every state

Teddy" is now on a speaking
tour OF the country in the behalf of
the Legion. He is due in Oregon in
September. Original dates called
for his appearance in Portland Sep

'the date will be changed for a week
later in order that he may be a speak
er at the first state convention of
the Legion to be held in Portland,
September "a, 25 and 26.
The same week that Oregon is
holding its convention the state Of
Washington plans its state meeting
in Seattle. so that Roosevelt will be
able to attend both sessions.
He will not confine his speaking
to Portland and Seattle, however,
for his tour will include several val
ley cities and probably at least one
city in eastern Oregon. Pendleton,
Salem, Eugene and Medford have
been mentioned but no definite dates
have been made. Cities desiring
him should get their bids in early
tho 1t will be impossible for him to
speak everywhere he will be wanted.

May Be Called Monday.

Chicago, June 11.-Union leaders
declared tonight that the first day re-
sponse for the call for a nationwide
strike Of commercial telegraph oper-
ators gave promise that the tie-up
would be complete in three days, de-
spite claims Of company officials that
the strike had failed.
Reports received by the Associated
Press from towns in various sections
of the country, indicate that CONNER
cial telegraph business was not ser.
iOusly interrupted in most instances.
A statement by President Newcomb
Carlton of the Western Union that
only about 166 persons, 121 of them
operators, answered the strike call,
brought from S. X. Konenkamp, in
ternational president Of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers Union of America
q remark that more than that number
Of Western Union employees in Chica-
90 alone had joined the strike by noon
today.
"keports up to late today point to
a 80 per cent response in the Postal
Telegraph company service, and 70
per cent response from Western Union
employees" said Konenkamp in a
statement to the Associated Press to-
night. "The east has shown up sur
prisingly well, and in the southeast
alone the number of strikers already
exceeds 5000. Telephone workers
have added to the strikers numbers in
Philadelphia, New Orleans, Columbia,

workers will also go out. Railroad
