SEDAN

the American First Army crowned its
tremendous achievements of the pre-
oeding three months by winning back
for France the city Of the forbidden
name.
There was no fortress at Sedan
when the American First Army
pressed towards the city. There was
strong garrison and the Germans
had made elaborate plans to defend
the place. The German military au-
thoritiea have a keen appreciation OF
moral values and they did not fell TO

we are able to achieve things that we
once left to others.
The superiority that we have
achieved III what to US are new indus
tries will bring about a new necessity
---the nations that formerly found so
large market here for the things we
now manufacture will have to do pio-
neer work. Their efforts must turn
towards new industries, new inven-
tons, new markets. Commercially,
we have gained great deal through
being made independent of others.
But there is another side to the pic
ture. We have learned more of the
brotherhood Of man than we dreamed
we could learn in so short a time. The
armies Of the Allied nations have been
lighting in common cause, bound by
ties of common ideals and common
aspirations. Their sacrifices and ours
nave brought us all more closely to-
gether, have broadened our viewpoints,
have somehow made the world a bet
ter place to live in.
While we have been learning and
achieving economic independence, we
have been learning that there is an
tnterdcpendencc, too.
The decent peoples of the world
have very much in common. The de-
cent peoples of the world have shown
that when the things they hold in com
mon are in jeopardy, they can bleed
together.
(. We have ,aid a terrible price in
blood--yet sacrifices are small

allies. And as we come to the Thanks
giving Day, we realize It is to be the
threshold of new era. We are very

Because certain educational require
ments were outlined when the Stu
dents Army Training Corps was ord
ganizcd, some disgruntled men caused
to be circulated a report that the
American army was not to be dem
ocratic army They caused to be dis
tributed some printed matter in which
the aims and purposes Of the S. A. 7,
c. were attacked.
One particularly vitrioiic passage
was as follows:

THANKSGIVING DAY

1t is a very different Thanksgiving
Day from that of year ago.
Then America was merely mobiliz-
ing her forces. She had heard of the
first casualties on land; her armies
were beginning to take form. But
peace was far from view. It seemed
as il there must be years of battering
against heavy wall of highly organ
lied niiitarism. Prussian propaganda
had done its worst and had convinced
some Of the faint-hearted that it was
Invincihle. The weekly casualty lists
of the British Empire were looked up
on as auguries of what might be ex-
pected here, In many homes there
were grave misgivings.
But still there was note of tri-
umph. America had found her soul.
America was in. Her self-rcspect was
redeemed, and while fond parents gave
their sons TO the great cause with
many misgivings they still felt that
they shared the glory of the moment.
This year it is not merely Thanks
giving Day for the awakening of a
nation. II is Thanksgiving Day for
military triumphs we scarcely dared to
hope for. for collapse of the enemy
that has come with surprising rapid
ity.
On this Thanksgiving Day we are
able to rejoice not merely for spirit
ual awakening, not merely for success
in arms; but because the effort we
have spent spells an early return to
productive industries; to family re-
unions, and to dwelling in the security
of guaranteed peace.

I'VE didn't believe the Americana
could develop such soldiers in FIVE
years" This is the tribute paid by g
captured German field officer to the
American First Army after encounter
ing it between the Argonne and the
Meuae. "The artillery and infantry
work of your First Army was worthy
of the best armies in the world" he
went on.
a confidential document signed by
Nineteenth German Army was cap
tured by Americans fighting on the
British front. 1t discusses particularly
the qualities Of the American divisions
engaged in the St. Milliel attack, and
speaks of them in terrng Of high praise.
Here are some excerpts from IT;
THE American is expert in handling
machine guns, is firm on the defensive
and develops strong power OF rests
lance from his very numerous machine
guns"
Liaison between the infantry and
artillery was perfect. When infantry
ran into machine gun nests, it inrne-
diately fell back and new artillery

teries followed very promptly"
Contrast these statements with the
expressed German opinion when Am
erica FIRST entered the war to the eff
feet that America, not being military
people, could not produce an effective
army in time to be of any consequence
in the European war
Such an opira8h was the result of
the German conviction that discipline,
the fundamental of military effective
ness, could not be obtained readily in
the American Army Germany had
been 20 years building up the dis
cipline that made her army an effective
military machine and she could not see
how America could accomplish the re-
suit in much less. Americans notori-
ously are undisciplined, not an ODE

scheme of taking orders that the clock
like demands of military operations
make necessary.
