The American commander was asked
today to comment on an article en-
titled why We Are Fighting" pub
lished yesterday In the army bulletin
in which General Petain. French COM
mander- in -chief, explained the objects
Of the war and why q premature peace
must not be concluded General Per-
shing said:
II have read the article with deepest
interest. His answer to the question IS
complete and logical. The facts set
forth should convince the world Of the
Justice Of our great cause. can not
think 1t possible that anyone should
hold a different opinion Of why we are
in the war. 1t is beyond reason that
anyone knowing the truth should fail
to condemn tho course pursued by the
German government
There must be no peace except q
lasting peace. The ideals for which
the allies are contending must be held
sacred. France will continue her splen-
did fight for human rights and human
liberties and fresh examples of hero
ism by her valiant armies win still
further inspire our fighting by her
side."
