II wish to thank you" said Gen.
Haig, "fof the great services which
you have rendered during this war,
which indeed has been the greatest
war in history. know that you have
displayed untiring energy and con-
tempt for danger in following the
troops In all their offensive actions.
I know that you have done your ut

great journals which you represent.
It was impossible to do more than you
gentlemen have done.

You Of the British press from the
beginning Of the struggle have carried
out your work with complete success.
Your dispatches have helped to give
hope and courage to our families at

the magnitude OF Great Britain's effort
In the great cause of freedom.

have cemented the bonds OF union be-

their true perspective.

"The correspondents Of the United
States have by their accounts Of the
steady devotion and courage Of the
British soldiers tended to bring about
a better attitude in America toward the
British. They have had a large share
In producing the mutual esteem which
now exists between the two countries.
May this feeling develop and long con-
tiuue.
Army and Press Did Not Clash.
~ have also to thank those repre-
sentatives OF the neutral press who
have left the security OF their homes
and who out OF love of justice and fair
play have borne testimony to what
they have seen on the British front
In no previous war have the relations
between the army and the press been
so entirely satisfactory. Perhaps tina;
is one reason why we are at this mo-
ment standing on one bridge over the
Rhine.
"I hope henccforth that your efforts
may tend toward universal peace, uni.
versal good will and closer union be-
tween the peoples represented by the
noble soldiers whose deeds on these
battle fields you SO ably have chron-
icled."
