Henry P. Dawson, chairman of
the war council Of the American
Red Cross, in a statement said in
part:
The supreme feature of this

great as it is, but in that it has
come from every part of the United
States, from its cities. its towns, its
farms. its factories, from the rich
and poor, regardless Of sect, color
or political creed.
Such an outpouring Of generous
enthusiasm avowing greater deter
mination to win the war and, in the
words of our President, to win it
worthily and greatly will also
carry a deepened assurance of SYM
pathy and support to all the armies
and civilians fighting the battles of

Capture Of Cantigny

With the American Army in Franco,
June THE confidence of the French
public and the morale of the French
army are unshaken despite all devel-
opments in the field. The French
spirit is unconquerable; this has never
been as manifest as 1t 10 in these
hours OF grave crises.
The success of the American troops
IN Picardy in capturing the village of
Cantigny last Tuesday 10 still promi-
nently mentioned in news and editorial
columns OF the French newspapers.
1t has further strengthened the friend
ship and respect for the American
troops.
Americans Cheered.
The sight of American uniforms as
our soldiers pass through villages in
the rear of the battle lines inyariab.,'
is the signal for stormy ovations. The
children salute and the women cheer
and throw kisses at the khaki-clad
fighting men from the United States.
The Cantigny success Is interpreted
In France os an indication of Ameri-
can military skill and tenacity ana
as forerunner Of still greater
achievements. The failure of sever
German counter attacks to retake the
Cantigny salient has increased the
prestige Of America. Said a French
officer to me today:
I'VE are not concerned SO much
with the capture Of Cantigny as with
the ability Of the Americans to hold
such an exposed position without
trenches. We are overjoyed at the
dash and pluck and resourcefulness
with WHICH they hold the place In the
