FRANCE JOYFUL AT
'SAMMIES" LANDING
. i f - .
General Pershing "Mobbed" in
Paris,-SayS'Lettfir to Omaba
Woman From Brother in
- British Army.
In the first uncen sored letter re
ceived from him in three years, Rob
ert UcCrvm, a London business man,
tells his sister, Mrs. Sarah Gerrie,
manager of the cloak and suit depart
ment of a downtown store, of the
great joy in France at the comir.g of
uenerai rersaing anc m men.
"While I was in Paris," he writes,
"having just made a business trip
there,, the first American contingent
arrived, and I witnessed the reception
of General Pershjng and his staff.
"I can tell you it is some honor to
be an American in France just now.
An American officer entered a cafe
where we were having dinner one
r.ight and the whole crowd rose and
cheered for ten minutes. -
"General Pershing was 'mobbed'
every time he went ut, till they l:ad
to provide a guard for liim. Poor
France what a deliverance for them!
No one will ever know all France has,
done for civilization. All its wonder
ful glory ml historv is as nothing
compared with the sacrifices, it has
made since 1914, and England and
America nhoiild be oroud to stand
beside it and give of-Jheir greatest
and be:?.
Concentrate on Airplanes.
"America is going to make a differ
ence, ud I firmly beh'rve will bring
the end ruch nearer, but there is a
tig job in front'of us yet'ahd it would
not be wise q' underestimate the 'cun
ning, r.nscrupulousne and resources
of Fritz, especially when be has hi
back to the wall. v.
"If were giving any advice to the
people at home it would be that you
concentrat all your efforts on aero
planes and pilots to drive them. They
are going to be a big factor in the
final push.
"1 found two very anxious people
awaiting me here on my return from
Paris (wife and little daughter), for
during my absence the Huns carried
out a daylight raid, and, whjle tbey
got nowhere near here,' it considera
bly upset them. I have made up my
mind that, no matter what the busi
ness urgtMy, I shall not go to France
acain till all is over. But 1 don't
think it will be over quite as soon ail
you anticipate. , .
"The Huns' paid a visit in force
forty in all to London yesterday, but
did nothing like the damage they are
claiming. In. fact, I. went out in the
afternoon to hunt for it and it took me
all afternoon to locate where they had
been. We saw sixteen of them flying
north with a squad of our own after
them. I believe they were driven off
by our airmetr and all made tracks
for the coast. ,
Urges Them to Fight.
"I am glad mother is well and do
ing her bit in the Red Cross and
Woman's Relief corps. I'm proud to
know that not only my dear mother,
but also my brother and nephew are
aoine to throw in their weight"
Mr. McCrum is secretary of the
Postcard Publishers' association of
England, where he is noted for having
. J !-! 1 !a I
carried American ingenuity inu
humor Into that business. He has
received notice in the London papers
telling how be has carried good cheer
to the boys in the trenches by bis
bits ot pasteboard. .
His mother, Mrs. Margaret Mc
Is Scotch born, but is intensely lovai
to America and urges all her men
relatives to join the army. Her son.
Claude McCrum, has offered his serv
ices to the United States and her
grandson, .Wallace' Gerrie,1 is in the
medical reserve corps.
Till now all letters received from
Mr. McCrum have been censored and
much cut out, but now we are an ally
he may tell as much of the war as he
wishes. He has fifteen brothers-in
law in the British army in France.

Conferees With President
On Food Control Plan
Washington, July 27. Senate and
house conferees on the food control
bill made such substantial progress
today that a complete ageement
seemed probable by tomorrow.
The conferees virtually agreed to
strike out the plan for a congressional
joint committee on war expenditures,
opposed by President Wilson and to
accept the senate amendment au
thorizing the president to" fix the price
of coal and coke and to take over
mines. There was also a virtual agree
ment on the senate amendment to
regulate the making of contacts for
the government for the defense coun
sels advisers.
Sentiment regarding the liquor
amendments seemed to be that con
gress should be satisfied to put the
ban on whisky, to authorize the com
mandeering of distilled spirits in bond
60 far as necessary for government
purposes and to authorize the presi
dent to prohibit the making of beer
and light wines if he chose.
What the decision would be be
tween the senate provision for a food
board of three and the bouse au
thorization for one food administrator
remained uncertain." :
