 Victory.

<AAAo1AcSn sotulerS were In France. The purpose of the enemy was to break through. reach the English Channel and thereby separate the English and French armies. so that the path to Paris would be clear. They knew that the drive must be rushed. that 1t might be accomplished before the American army could be transported to Europe.
 The Germans failed to reckon with the energy of the United States. The icrivs that threatened to separate the two allies forced recognition of the need of getting large force to Europe at once. It inspired the almost super human effort that resulted in the transportation of 1.600,000 fighting Americans to European battlefislds. i. Additional drives launched by the IGermans in the succeeding months emphasized the reasons for speed. i Meantime preparation of United States troops were rushed. The fight Ing men were transported at a rate of xb0.O00 to 100000 month, in spite of the submarine menace.
 i The thrush of American troops gave the Allied forces a new determination to hold But while all this was going on the equally vigilant and desperate enemy realized that no time could be lost for decisive blow before the new and fresh American troops were ready. Gradually the entry of United States troops Justified the faith of their French and English allies. As the transports. loaded with vigorous soldiers who. six months prior, had been business men. clerks and me. chanics. reached European shores they were placed in the lines.
 At Cantigny, at Vaux, at Balleau Wood. around Foul. in the vosges, at Chateau Thierry. the American sol i0iers proved their mettle.
 With the entrance of those compara- lively few troops 1t became apparent that the probability of success for the Hun race was lessened as the number or American soldiers increased. This was amply shown as the months passed, and the troops increased from 100000 to more than 100000. It was early In July that the Huns. appreciat. Ing that American troops were arriv. ing in great numbers. but still believ. ling the hour had not passed when they could successfully strike. launched tkeir last drive toward Paris. For sev. eral days they drove forward. gaining ground each day, until the American forces rushed in to stem the tide and turned the forward movement into a lrout. While the American troops and influence were giving the Germans a reverse. Gen. Foch launched the coun. ter attack between Soissons and Cha. teau Thierry. resulting in a retreat of tho Hun forces which amounted al. most to rout. and with. 1t joyfully startled the world.
 Following the recovering of large part of the territory gained by the Germans, a successful counter attack farther north along the line was launched by the British.
 To the Allied hearts the best pert of 1t Is that the movement was carried on by the Allied forces with smaller num- bers than the enemy forces were able to command. Six months ago it would have been impossible for the same number of Allied forces to have sue. cessfully carried out such g movement. The improved morale resulted from the appearance of American troops in numbers.
 As the United States forces arrived and demonstrated their fighting prov. ess the Allied generals and masssa realized the tide was turning and that success was not far away.
 It was not alone the American forces. but the American dollars as well. that was accomplishing this rs nswal of confidence.
 The first. second and third Liberty Loan issues have provided the sinewa of war no less than the brave men who have been sent to the front. The men must be furnished ships for transpor tation. for food, supplies and muni tions.
 Without the dollars subscribed by the American people through the first three Liberty Loans the success oi American arms to date would have bean impossible.
 The continued increase in transpor tstion ot American troops has demon strated that the larger the forces ts defeat the Germans the sooner thu oonAict will be over.
