A warning against the danger of
Stacking Americas war efforts be-
cause Of the victories attained on the
West Front since July l8 was sounded
by Governor G. J. Mccarthy in an ad,
dress he made last night at a Knights
Of Pythias celebration Of the 16lst
anniversary Of the birth of Marquis de
Lafayette, the French patriot who
rendered such signal services to
the American cOlOnists in the Revolu-
tiOnary War-serviccs for which Amer
lea is paying to his native country in
the world war for liberty.
Governor Mccarthy asserted that ne
thought our cxpcditiohary commander
in .chief,, General Pershing, expressed
American feeling fully in the four
words, he altered before Lafayette 5
statue shortly after he arrived in
Frances, ,,.t.
Lafayette, we arc here"
L The QOvernor then added:
We're Going Over
Eyes, Lafayette we are there, and
~e are going over, going over, and
will continue to 90 over, ten million, IL
neeessary, Until "" pay our debt TO
France in full and make the world a
fit place to live in.
II was in leading up to after-war
duties and problems Of America that
the Governor sounded his warning
against over confidence and the slow
ing up of present VAR efforts when he
said:
"Since July IS the Allied armies
, have won a great victory, and for that
reason We should not let up a single
minute. but should keep r"rrlr ''irg'~ It
! 1t until Germany is brought to her
knees. Lct'us not forget that it was
| only four years ago today that the
| fist battle Of the Marine was fought,
! and although the Allied armies were
then successful, Germany recovered
and came back to the Marine to be de.
, feated again. While we like to speak
Of what We should do when the war is
over we should still act as though it
| was moi, to be over for years to come"
or Lafayette, himself, the Governor
said in his Introduction:
