THE gallant deeds of Americans on
land and sea have already indicated to
the enemy that his hope is vain. Every
day that passes, as American troops
pour in ever-increasing numbers into

success.
The>American people may rest as
sured that the British empire, now
tried by nearly four years of war will
cheerfuIly make yet further sacrifices.
The thought that the United States,
under your leadership. are with us
heart and soul emboldens US in the
determination. with Gods help, finally
to destroy the designs of the enemy
and to re-establish on the earth the
rule of right and justice.
GEORGE R. l."
