BUDDY

First they call as Sammies-why,
NOBODY knows. Perhaps because we
were from the land OF Uncle Sam.
Perhaps because the French words
for "our friends" are pronounced
nose zammie' which certainly
sounds close enough to Sammy. No
matter what the reason may have
been the nickname was tried and It
did mot catch on. Something failed
to click-it was not a case Of "Biue

cANTIGNY

Cantigny is only a small village, but
1t will occupy large place in Amer
lean military annals. For, Cantigny
was the first village to be captured by
American troops in the great world
WA Just as the battle for Paris
opened and the military machine of
the Prussian Crown Prince moved to-
ward the Marne, came news of Can
tigny's capture.
AS a military achievement il was no
great feat. It was not even a major
operation, judging by the meagre re-
ports as to the number of men en-
gagged. But it marked a new phase in
the American campaign. The Amer
ican troops, well-seasoned by months
in the trenches, baptized By Gre in
defensive operations and in raids. took
the offensive. It was wsrfare to the
hk1TTv t he Americans. They rushed

HOLD ON"

In an isolated section of the Ameri-
can front young captain was striv-
ing to keep open the lines of COM
munication with his brigade headquar-
tiers.
He was in constant telephone touch
with the commanding general.
Keep the Line open" the brigadier
ordered.
"very good. sir" replied the cap
tain.
In little while the general called
again and asked about the situation.
Il is pretty hot. sir" said the cap
tain.
Keep holding on, said the general.
Soon another report had to be trans
mitted The captain said:
We are stiu holding on, sir, but We
are almost surrounded"
Hold on, was the order.
The general became much con-
eerned about the captain and called
TO inquire whether he was still hold
ing out.
The captains voice seemed far away
but the general heard him reply:
I'VE are still here, but
Xou are glorious fellowP the
general said.
They're on usP' came from the CAP
tain. Then there was silence. The

general knew the captain had de-
stroyed the connections.
Thus it goes. The disciplined
American viii obey his orders and re-
main to the very last. and when he
must move he win make az certain as
is humanity possible that the enemy
will not be able to profit By what he
must leave behind.
The genersfg exclamation, you're
glorious fellowr was the tribute he
could not withhold. It was recogni-
ton Of worth.
Someone has said that in this war
bravery is anonymous, meaning that it
is so general It goes lznnotieed. Ameri-
cans at home have been deeply graft
fed to notice that the French have
found the bravery of many Americans
so signal, even where everyone is
brave, that they have been unable &c
withhold their praises.
American soldiers, many of them
have been awarded medals by the AL
he'd commanders, and as one A1seci-
can soldier who had been Over There
said, "You have to earn what you get
On the battlefield"
The bravery Of the American troops
seems destined to result In an awful
strain on the metal resources Of
France and England, so many med
ais Will have to be awarded.

to the attack like dogs released from
the leash. They went forward sing
ing, shouting, yelling. And their dash
terrified the Germans. In that en-
gagenaent il was proved conclusiveiy
that no German is a match for an
American.
Cantigny was good beginning.
Says General Bridges, head Of the
special British military commission,
"The allied sta7fs have recognised for
n long time, and it 10 now obvious to
all, that the American troops have
become a vital factor in this battle
and may hold the balance between de-
feat and victory, and that it is only by
brigading them for training with the
French and British that they will he
