Appreciation From Kockford.
Concerning the death of Mrs. Bou
ton, the Rockford Register-Gazette
says:
Rockford high school teachers and
pupils are shocked by the passing, of
Mrs. Bouton, who was one of the
best liked members of the faculty.
Of exquisite refinement, happy dispo
sition and alert mind, her presence
was always welcomed and her circle
of friends grew rapidly. ft he v. >
an earnest teacher. splendidly
equipped for her profession, and am
bitious to succeed. She overcame
many difficulties to obtain an edu
cation.

Dr. T H. Slaughter, son of Mr

Base Hospital 21. made up of former
students of the medical department o:
W ■t>h'f.gtor. Universit'.' St. Louis
He V\ ■ *.s probably ho first Springdale
mar. to reach France after war had
boon declared. He spent eighteen
months over there, a considerable por
tion of the time being up near the
front line-. While the fighting a -
going on and here was something do
ing he was very well satisfied, but
aft-r the signing of the armistice the
men had he hardest work encountered
while overseas—doing nohting. Like
many other returning soldiers. Dr
Slaughter ha> a higher opinion of the
French than the British. He say.'
- ■ n after they first reached Kurope
numerous British officers informed
them that the war was over and that
America had waited too long. The
attitude of the French soldiers wa~
quite different. They gave the
American boys the glad hand, and
never admitted they expected to d<
anything else hut whip the Germans
Members of Base Hospital J1 landed
in this country on Faster day. and
participated in the parade in St. Louis
last week. Dr. Slaughter will visit
his two sisters in Litle Rock, after
which he will probably return to his
former practice at Miami, Arizona

? rt f then* he at Bathevillo an i
- nif at F -mcs. Others at <'antignv
and < hateau-Thierry. In the \r
g nr:e \V *od, ir the depths of the
itter.'i, blasted burned and twist
ed forest, on the hill slopes and in
the ravines that were pounded by the
nun? of Metz and soaked with the
- •arintr gas from Hun shells, there
are 17,000 American dead.
There are other graves in the Ver
dun country and at Buzancy. Still
.•thers up toward the North Sea sand
dunes, in the fields of the Flanders
poppies.
And all along many a weary mile
of the seared Zigzagging trenches
that a short year ago were ablaze
with gun-fire; there are more and
more Americans, resting in the soil of
France.
From every grave where an Amer
ican uniform is the shroud of a sol
dier comes the far call of the dead
men.
It is an insistent call that should
be finding an echo in every American
heart. It ? a summons to American
honor and American loyalty, that
hould reach every man who stayed
at home.
White crosses mark these grav.-s
scooped out ir. the soil of France.
Trey are new graves, pathetically
nev . This time last year tens ot
thousands of these Americans who
have given the last full measure of
devotion were living men, with the
hopes and aspirations of the average
American. Most of these graves
were filled in September. October an i
November of last year.
And because these men died then.
breaking' through the Hun lines, shat
to ring the kaiser's armies, there was
a quick peace. We are not fighting
on this year because these men fought
so gallantly then.
Every one of these men died for
America. They knew that they were
going where death was a playmate
There was no illusion about the sort
of a struggle they were facing. They
went into the sort of war that modern
centuries have made, a war of machine
guns and poison gas. of death lurk
ing in the sky. n the air. underground,
all about them.
We made a contract with these men.
A solemn pledge. When they went
into the serv.ee we pledged them that
w< would stand behand them, fully
and loyalh When they went ove
seas this w .s surely m their minds.
In the days of the fighting we
m. r.tained that the America: front
ha i a depth that extended all the
ay from the front line trenches.
a,r...-s the Atlanta Ocean, across all
of America to the Pacific Coast We
1: that way about it then, with very
tev. veptions. Had the war con
tinued we would have understood far
better just what backing the fight. ..
men meant.
The men who crossed had every
reason to believe that all of us here.
■ uld do our oart- Not so lone i
ae were warmed with patriotism 01
chilled with fear, but to the end r ■<
matter what that end might be. Not
1 nia: in th* American army, no1 a
'"idler of all the dead who are stay
;nu h ra--.ee while the.r comrades come
ome but what would have fought ar.\
om who so much as intimated to hm
that there would ever come a day
"her. American people would he eare
h" and indifferent as to the war and
the men who are fighting their ie.:t
ties.
And we all like to feel. that, as
these men went to their deaths, as
they trod their fiethsemanes in far-off
r;-! ■ th< ;. went with thi fee! 1 ms
th.at back of them were all the mil
ho,.. Of America, .ill it- wealth, all
it^ population, all the terrible strength
of a piant nation.
Not one of them had been {riven
any reason to doubt that America
would "finish the .lob” that had been
undertaken. They all felt that it
uotii i be completed in pood time ami
completed right.
Surely no man of them all ever vis
iom 1 that there might come a time
whor an America at peace would be
leu ward and uncertain about com
pletim the work that had been laid
out for us. Certainly no one of all
’he American army dreamed that
there would come a day when peace
had arrived, when the armies were
coming home and the old ways and the
old days were beginning to come back
