 1 progress. The morale of our troops ia 1 excellent. They are going over the tor
 in a solid mass and will make clean | sweep"
 Gen. Dan Dimmicl5, commanding the | French army, reports:
 France sent Lafayette and Rocham- beau to the struggling American colonies | in the darkest hour of their history and ! also supplied them with money and ann II unitions. Your General Pershing, stanJ- ing with bowed head at the tomb of Lafayette and saying We are here, La Fayette,' tersely expressed the spirit of America and Birmingham. France real izes that America is repaying the debt in many ways, the nobles and not the least practical of these being the exten- sion into France of the Y. NJ. c. A. Tn view of this do you wonder that the army which I have honor to command
 is fired with the same courage that won Austerlitz ana is impatient for the word to advance2"
 Gen. w. c. Bonham, commanding the British army, reports:
 If the British army. when first placed in the field, had been accompanied by an organization modelled after your Y. M. c. A.. the war would be much nearer to a close"
 NOT JUDGED BY SIZE
 Gen. k. A. Porter, commanding .he Belgian army, reports:
 ''The Belgian army is not to be judged by its size but by it's fighting spirit. Rest assured that the Belgian people are everlastingly grateful to the Americans for what they did for Belgium through Herbert Hoover and will appreciate to an equal extent the work of the Y. M. C. A. here"
 Gen. IT. II. Schnell, commanding the Italian army, reports: "The Italian army may have been driven back by over whelming forces and resources, but the American people will soon see us stand ing firm, and see our forces winning great victory. Your own George Wash ington was the inspiration of Garibaldi In his fight for united Italy, and the army under my command will prove it. self worthy of the confidence of all lovers of liberty"
 After receiving these and similar re- ports Field Marshal Rushton dictated the following message to his subordinates: ''To the armies in bivouac, on the front:
 Many of you left your business and sacrificed your private interests to enter this campaign. No man was ever given the direction of nobler body of men. You are invincibie, because impelled by the highest motives. Birmingham and Jefferson county have never failed to meet every demand upon their patriot ism, as the campaigns for Red Cross and liberty loan fully attest.
 Our people have always done more than was asked of them and they are going to do that this week. They give freely and unselfishly, without expecta- tion of any other reward than that Of duty done It is a high privilege to live among such people. Congra tulating you on the victory already in your grasp, you for your loyalty, sign myself, not as a commander, but as a CO., worker. FRANK RUSHTON."
