"Here's to the bo-

France; May the spirit of Ie with us all. Tc the sons of the smith advance." Hut whether from north or south, there are two words that always hrini; the most hearty applause in "home" and "Arneri'a." It matters not much to the.-e men, what htate they ro home to, .-o lone as it h ithin the boundary of the Fnited States of America. It surely has ben a delight, that I shall never forget, to talk to these wannKfuled American sobliris. who now as never before have the word, "home" encraven upon their hearts, ünjoys His .Miooion. Then aain. I have enjoyed my mission of the past week because f very' biy I have been in the auto clipping off the miles or ' rather the kilometers) that I rniht keep my cnsrxCPnaents to speak at the various camp centers scattered oer this wide area. The weather has been delightful. The roads have been good. In fact. as far as I have been able to j ml pre all French roads, with the exception of thos cut by heavy army trucks, are splendid. Kven the Ford rides smoothly and one is almost inclined to believe he is ridinc in a I'ackard or FicrceArrow. In every camp, hut or tent where I have held srice. both singer and Treacher have been K'aciously received. Fverywhere men have responded to the Cospel message, and the appeal to "net rilit with tlod." On Wednesday eveninc T had an interesting experience at Montfort. wlivre I was scheduled to hold service. The only hut in the town was that of the Jew ish W Ifare board, but the secrttary, Wolfe Adler of Indianapolis, in a most hearty manner threw this open to us. Here the men crowded. Mr. Adler inquired: "What will be the subject of your lecture?" He knew that these men. in three days, were to start home, and this was my only opportunity to ppeak to them. Then the secretary had told us that nearly all the men present ware of the Christian f.iith. So I replied: "I think I shall not lecture. but shall conduct a Christian tervue." to which Mr. Adler responded: "The hut is yours

to hold whatever kind of meeting! vou wish." So in that Jewish hut j we spoke to those Christian soldier ; men. out of the d ep convictions of j our heart on "The Cteat Certainties i of the Christian Faith." to which J our Jewish friend was a most re - ; prent hearer. We shall cherish j kindly memories of S. Wolfe j Adler. ; Troops to Ir. Today as I pen these lines at . Counerre in a little room in the V.

And so they came to Furope, Hi'-" liK'htint; men of ours, clad in

khaki. Thtre were two million and

more of them, each bearing in his heart the hich ideals of America, and each determined to do bravely his part in the srtatest ficht of rieht against wronu', of justice against injustice, of democracy acainst autocracy, that the world has ever known since man kept a record of human events. These ambassadors of ours to Hut one have been patient under the severest discipline; they have shown in the trench and at the battle's front what stern Muff they were made of. They .surely have done well and deserve a nation's hiebest praise. ' They crossed the sea and came to a foreicn soil that they micrht help stamp out kaiserism. break beyond repair the stronc arm of Prussian militarism and crush the brutal power of autocracy. And they have succeeded. History will record this fact. Will Not Forget. When the last American soldier

hav e already said good-by to hundreds of them. Hut it is not all Joytwith these soldier men. Many alas ,are returning with a sad heart. Ordy this afternoon I talked to an officer who. told us that of 2 1 meni in his orif?-'

inal company only 2.V, are left

Pulling a decoration out of his

pocket, which he had received for'

distinguished service, he .said: "Do,

you think I can wear that. No sir! Not while many men. braver thanI. died without any mention ever being made of their courage and sacrifice. Not until their families receive inMheir names their badges, of honor can I wear mine. I would be ashamed " fc?o spoke aisouthern officer. ;iaHto Hot urn. Lieut. H. M. Wood, whoiat Counerre has been acting as athletic director, has at this, very moment honored me' with a call. I laid down my pen. "When do you start heme?" I asked. "Tomorrow." he replied. Then heltold me of how he went home glad, but sad. Glad to again see his wife and family, but sad because he had. lost a brother in the great tight atCantigny. Surely a noble family hat southern familv. Six brothersienlisted at the

by a German sneu. shall never re

turn to home and family to tell the story' of his valor. Thousands Dead. Under the white crosses in France about 100.000 American soldiers lie. They fought, they bled, they died, and to them all future generations will be debtors. South Bend has given her quota. The blue stars changed to gold in many service flags, testify to this fact. Fvery city, town, village and country place in America has some silent representative sleeping in France. Under the white wooden crosses they rest. May we cherish their memory and may we never forget that they gladly gave themselves that "freedom might have a new birth," not only in France, but throughout the whole world. History will record in i never-dying story how our brave American men went through at Chateau Thierry, the Garden of Gethsemane, and how in the Argonne drive day after day they staggered under the burden of their heavy crosses. H-story will guild with glory their resting places on fortign soil and embalm their names, but history will never fully record the bravery and sacrifice of our--American fighting men, who fcllfin the world's great war. "Icar Christ, who reign'st above the flood Off human tears and human blood; A f weary road these men have trod. Ofhouse them in the home of God."
