no two finer representatives of the courage, the chivalry and the young manhood of the south could have been found than these two brave sol- diers who. when the word went out that their country needed them, "shoudered arms' and marched to their duty like the splendid courage ous men that they are.
 It seems particularly apropos that they should have been rewarded with the compliment which has been paid them for to go on such beautlful mission after the fearful, frightfui days of hunger and suffering and the ravages of War and the misery of bloodshed back-in the days of l9l7- now as private citizens will be pleas ure-when they can have the oppor- tunity of shaking hands with their fellow citizens of the great French nation, and cenient the ties which were formed back wonder in those dark wretched days of the World war.
 It Is beautiful thought that France has this "Memoriaf' to the American army in the form of stone and cement and plaster and indes- tructible magnificence, and 1t will be the occasion of wondrous renewal of friendship between the two great republics of France and America
 It is the very sort of thing that Is calculated to win over the American regard more insistently than ever, and there. Is no nation which under stands so delightfully."- and so graci- ously and so cordially how to do this sort of thing than the French
 The French that we met during the war who came over on various mis- sions to America--Colonel DeCzer- nowicz of the French army. Major Dupont, Lieut.. (Baron) Raymond d'Aigy, and the members of the French Foreign Legion, were with out exception men of the highest type, of the best manners and the truest principles and their gratitude for everything that was done for them during their American visit was immeasurable.
 The French have their faults-and so have we--but we can never say that one of theirs is ingrat.tude, and I1fnay add-tactlessness.
 The most infinitesmal thing done for them either as group or as in- divduals was received with express sions of gratitude far exceeding the merits of the deed.

BOY SCOUTS WIN
LETTER OF PRAISE

Editor Glacier-When the war drum
beats no longer it will be because the
spirit of good will, sympathy, and un-
selfshness has been born in the blood
of individuals and peoples. Hood
River communities are helping to
bring this about. The Pine Grove
young people are fine lot, well led.
A few evenings ago on one of the
beauty spots of the state of Oregon,
the Pine Grove school grounds, the la
dies of the community gave a benefit
for the Boy Scouts. The people came,
ate ice cream and cake and enjoyed
the glowing sociability of the month of
June, and left substantial profit for
the use of the Scouts. A Scout is
taught to be unselfsh, and the teach
ing falls on fertile soil. On this occa-
sion as climax to glorious evening
the Scouts decided in big way to di-
vide the gain with the Girl Scouts,
an Organization yet in its infancy-a
lusty infant. Good work. Virile gen.
erous boys. Fine true girls. Alert
and helpful men and women. The
spirit that warns and brightens life.
These things help us all to grow.
Sincerely,
L. b. Gibson.
