[President of the "French Republic.] - Paris, April 5.--To the People of the United StateS of America : In the message which It has been my privilege to send this morning to President Wilson I expressed only too inadequately the sentiments of the whole of France. I was observing some dajrs ago In the garden of the Elysee the first sprouting of some little trees that were sent to me from America In 1915 by one of your countrymen. They once adorned the approaches to Lafayette's house. They have crossed the ocean without dying, In the same way as .today the friendship of the United States comes to us intact and living. Last year the leaves of these trees were still a little weak, but the first sproutings of this spring promise for next summer a more luxurious foliage.' I seem to see in these pretty little trees an Image of American affection, every day more vivid and more active. We arte now going to fight together for the liberty of the peoples and the future of humanity. It is the future* of'the world which Is at stake. We find ourselves at the crossing of two roads. At the end of one stands the specter of violence and injustice; the other leads to right and future peace. Our choice Is made, and we shall be proud to travel side by side on this resplendent road with the American people. \ MIDWEST TO FURNISH 235,000 FOR BIG ARMY Washington, April 9.--The six middle western states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wiscon­ sin and Minnesota will*be called upon to raise, in round numbers. 235,000 recruits for the army of 1,200,000 which is to be called out this year.

Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found­ ed. Their tender little "insides" ar% injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver an< bowels need cleansing, give only deli­ cious "California Syrup of Figs." Ita action Is positive, but gentle.
