MORE LONESOME SOLDIERS.
Over in France, They Bid for Letters
From Polk County Girls.

st. Mihiel, France, Dec. 20, 1918.
To The Mena Weekly Star,
Dear Editor: A boy of the 103rd
Ammunition Train, being a resident
of your city, receives the Mena paper,
which we all enjoy reading very
much and are always glad to read
about the patriotic citizens of this lit
tie city, who are always 100 per cent
on Liberty Bonds and other war
funds. We knew it was the work Of
such citizens that pushed the great
conflict to victory.
We were engaged in several bat
ties, which proved to the enemy that
the true red-blooded Americans did
not need to devote a lifetime to Mill
tary training to be more than match
for the enemy. The first battle we
engaged In was the Second Battle of
the Marne,' on the Chateau Thierry
sector, the one which we chose to call
the turning point in the war We also
were one of the units which helped to
start the big drive in the Argonne
Forest on the night of September 26.
This was considered the biggest ar
tillery bombardment that was ever
known
Now that the war is over, the time
for us to come home is not in sight
yet, as we are among the troops of
occupation, and there will be times
when we boys will be somewhat
lonesome and would like very much to
receive a few letters from the young
ladies of your town.
We are

CHAMBER TO HELP
MOSCOW BOY SCOUTS
MOSCOW BUSINESS MEN RECOG-
NIZE NEED OF ASSISTING
THESE YOUNG SOLDIERS

The question of the Boy Scouts
was taken up by the chamber of
commerce at its weekly luncheon
yesterday and a detailed report of
the work the troop has done was read
by Scout Master Hawley. The report
was complete and was a revelation to
many who were present. 1t seems
that the boys have done far more
than any one suspected they had ac-
complished and Mr.. Hawley made it
plain that the work is one worthy of
the support of the chamber of COM
merce. AS a result of this report
the boys are to be helped.
The president of the chamber was
authorized to appoint committees to
take up the work and to assist Scout
Master Hawley in any way they can.
1t is planned first to provide a bet
ter meeting place for the boys and
then to take up the matter of en-
ployment for them and to assist them
IN every way. 1t was shown that,
without assistance or official recogni-
tion by the chamber of commerce or
the business men the troop has been
doing great work. It's help to the
committees in the Victory loan was
an object lesson to many.
Incidentally it is reported that the
boys added another $4,000 to the Vic
tory bonds sold, in addition to the
sum reported yesterday. This brings
their total to $4,000. The boys have
done splendidly and it was the sense
of the chamber of commerce that they
deserve some official recognition.

LELAND PEOPLE HOLD RECEP-

On Monday evening, according to
previous arrangements, the citizens
and friends of the boys returning from
army service assembled at the Odd
Fellows hall to give expression to
the hearty welcome which we all ac-
cord the boys on their return home.
After the singing of America" and a
few preliminaries, Rev. J. V. Roberts,
in a very able address extended to
the boys a most hearty and cordial
welcome. A response thereto was
rendered by Edgar Estes, in which he
held the audience in attention pro-
found as he very ably and entertain
ingIy recited incidents of life in ac-
tive service, and passing, a eulogy of
high order upon our noble and fear
less President, Woodrow Wilson, say
ing, "Ee is the greatest leader the
world ever had"
Intermingled with these addresses
were vocal and instrumental render
ings to thee delight of the immense
audience which filled the hall to its
capacity. Following these exercises
was a repast of ice cream and cake,
with coffee as a chaser. All are
agreed that it was one of the best

Boycott Threatened

Complaints reached the office of
The Star Mirror this afternoon that
persons circulating the remonstrances
against Sunday shows in Moscow
have been making threats to boycott
those who refuse to sign the remon-
STRANGE and have, in some instances,
become abusive. One woman COM
plains that since she signed the pc
tition for Sunday shows she has been
"bawled OUT publicly by those op-
posed to Sunday shows and that
"they have made life a burden to
me-" Another woman complains
that she was approached in an ice
cream parlor yesterday and when she
refused to sign the remonstrance the
woman circulating it grew abusive
and insulting in her language and
denounced the woman for "upholdfhg
wickedness." Both women wept
when reporting the occurrences. 1t
had been hoped that this contest
would be clean one and that person
alities would not be indulged in by
either side. Certainly no good can
from making enemies over
matter like this.

REV. w. III. BRIDGE
PLEASES BIG AUDIENCE

There was a good attendance at the
reading of Hamlet by Rev. w. H,
Bridge in Guild hall last night. The
audience was delighted, as his work
throughout was pleasing. Some very
flattering compliments were passed
on the excellence of the program. Rev.
Mr.. Bridge is getting reputation
throughout the northwest for his
dramatic readings and has received
requests from many places to give en-
tertainments. His work at Spokane
a short time ago was SO pleasing that
he has received an urgent invitation
to repeat it and will given another
dramatic reading in Spokane in the
near future.

GROWING CROWDS At
BAPTIST SERVICES
'sSTANDING ROOM ONLY" SIGN
WILL BE OUT IF ATTENDANCE
KEEPS GROWING

1t has been clearly demonstrated
that the Baptists have an attraction
in Moscow that insureS house full
of people against every other program
featured here. In fact the attendance
is coming up stronger than last week
and it looks as though people will be
turned away before the week is out
AS an entertainer DR.. Marshall has
proved himself a master. But more
than this and the real secret of his
genius is that the truth presented by
a man of bloodred earnestness is the
most attractive thing in the world.
That Dr. Marshall is in earnest can
not be disputed He worries his
friends in shortening his life by his
sIedgehammer blows against sin but
while he "cries out in a loud voice"
as the prophets of old he is quick
of wit, tender of heart, ond holds the
English language at his command.
He has no slip shod, loose methods in
his work but cries out that men re-
pent and humble themselves before
God. "Your sins merit for you the
punishment of God The Scripture
says that all men have sinned and you
know YOU have. This Book Of books
tells us that he that sinneth shall
surely die the death. You scoundral
you, you know that ignorance OF the
law does not justify man in the
courts. But you profess to think that
Gods law is less than mans law.
You say that God won't condemn you
unless you wilfully sim The blind
man who walks over the precipice, or
the innocent child that plucks flow
er from it's edge and is lost over It's
fatal Depths or the suicide who hurls
himself into it are all the victims OF
the same fate Then you say that
this law of God in gravitation does
not resemble other laws of God. You
act as thought you believed that If the
innocent child played on the edge OF
the descent and fell that you could
reach out in space and get her. NO
sir, if you sin it is a separation OF
God for you. You go to the hell Jesus
describes in the oath of Matthew. You
are a sinner The sinner is a lost
man. The integrity of God must be
maintained. God will not pardon lest
it prove the law was not properly ad-
or the law unjust. GOD
will not pardon. God will punish.
Your only hope is in Christ. He came
and took your place and was punished
you your sin. If you accept that
sacrifice from Him, you are saved
But If Jesus is not divine He can't
bear your sins and you are eternaily
lost. Christ is the sinners only hope
and God will not force you to accept

Gets Nash Cars and Trucks.

The Idaho Garage, A. S. Frost, pro-
prietor, received carload of Nash
cars and trucks which were unloaded
today. The truck is powerful af-
fair, with great horse power and is
built almost exclusively of steel, and
has a capacity of two tons. The Nash
cars are among the handsomest cars
ever seen in Moscow \; They have eve
ry one of the latest itlgfTrovements, in
cluding electric lights in the tonneau,
and have the original enclosed motor
that is as dust proof as a watch. The
cars have 67-horse power and are five
passenger cars, upholstered in the
best quality of real leather. They
have attracted much attention at the
garage today.

may have it if you repent of your
sins and come to Him in true humility
of heart. This is not my word for it.
But the word of the eternal God"
AS prelude to the service last
night DR.. Marshall spoke for few
minutes upon "Why I am not a
Catholic" He was not antagonistic
and spoke no unkind word. He said
simply he could not be a Catholic be-
cause he did not believe Mary was
Divine All her five sons would then
be divine. He did not believe in the
confessional. Our dealing is direct
with Christ. He is our priest.
Tonight he speaks for five minutes
upon a modernism. Tonight, "The
Blood of Jesus" is the sermon theme.
