COUNTRY PROUD OF YOU,
PERSHING TELLS MEN

Paris, July %. ASSOCIATED Press.
Your country is proud of you and
| am more than proud to command
such men as you. You have fought
splendidly."
Gen. Pershing thus addressed
wounded American soldiers in the
American Red Cross hospitals in
Paris yesterday. In each ward of every
hospital he talked to the men. He
inquired If they were being we'll
cared for, how and where they were
wounded, what regiments they be-
longed to, and expressed his SYM
pathy to scores of patients.
NO one can ask more Of any fight
ing force than that they should do as
we'll as you have DONE" he said to
his troops. The General added that
he wished he could talk personally
with each and every man in the
hospital, but this was impossible. SO
ne asked Major James II. Perkins to
repeat his message and say to each
individual man, The American peo-
pie are proud of you
The General talked also to the
physicians, surgeons and nurses and
thanked them for the work they were
dong in caring for the wounded.
