NATION UNITED
AS NEVER BEFORE

The League for National Unity
has issued a statement OF reassur-
ance TO the army in France and to
the folks at home, showing with
the aid Of figures that America is
doing well its part in the war, and
that the reports of the administra-
TONS shortcomings are inspired by
our enemies.
We are nation united as never
before" the statement says. The
secret enemies of the republic are
still declaring that only a small
force OF 100 1000 or 100000 men has
crossed the Atlantic. 1t can be au-
thOritatively stated that the Ameri-
! can force across the seas today is
several hundred thousand strong.
OF this array several hundred
thousand American soldiers are on
the main battle line in Flanders.
Daily more troops are pouring
across"
After condemning the criticism
that has been made with a view to
disheartening and disappearing
the official conduct of the war the
statement says that preparations
have been made in France for the
reception OF 100000 American
troops.
The United States entered the
war a year ago, with the ports,
roads, railroads, telegraphs and
telephones in France already con
gested by the French and English
armies" II is stated. They were
all outworn, outused and unable
To meet the needs of new forces.
The shipping of the world was
barely equal to supplying those
armies and their allies.
The United States in the past
year has made its own port on the
French coast, built its own rail-
roads $500 miles of double track
and more, laid out at its new har-
Dor, which can deal with forty yes
