He said he had little idea whether
the United States would be drawn into
the struggle, but declared II would be
an immense help to the Allies II this

moral support would be welcome, too.
English Don't Love Us"
The whole feeling in the French
war zone was aptly expressed by DIR.
Judd when he said: The English
don't love US. They think the Amer.
leans are spineless. The French ad-
mire the Americans and appreciate

declares the French are real heroes
and perhaps the hardest fighters OF
the war, and among the most humane,
. too. For instance, If German wounded
are found on the field, they are given
the first aid. The French patience
and endurance are unbelievable, he
says. = e
