While Italy was celebrating the fact
that there was no longer an Italia IRE
denta. and while the world was just be-
ginning to comprehend the scale of the
Austrian debacle, came news Of the
capture Of Sedan By q part Of the
American First Army.
"ItaliA Irredenka" had been n rally
ing cry. 1t had welded the whole
Italian people into . unity that no re-
verse could disrupt. One Of the major
disasters Of the war came upon the
Italian armies. They staggered under
the blow: but they came back with
greater strength than ever.
Sedan" had been word Of re-
proach to the French. Il was a& Sc
dan that Marshal MacMahon surren-
dered. Il was ut Sedan that Napoleon
III became a prisoner and il was be-
cause Of Sedan that the power of the
Empire of Germany increased till she
could plunge the world into carnage.
The word Sedan came to be spoken
in whispers. When defeat impended,
the French visualized another Sedan.
When victory seemed possible, they
hardly dared to hope that It might
assume the proportions of another
Sedan.

Of Germany were on their way under

"We didn't believe the Americans
could develop such soldiers in FIVE
years" This is the tribute paid by a
captured German Geld officer to the
American First Army after encounter
ing it between the Argonne and the
Mouse. "The artillery and infantry
work of your First Army was worthy
of the best armies in the world" he
went on.
A confidential document signed by
the chief intelligence officer of the
Nineteenth German Army was cap
tured by Americans fighting on the
British front. II discusses particularly
the. qualities Of the American divisions
engaged in the Sc. Mihiel attach, and
speaks Of them In terms Of high praise.
Here are some excerpts from Il:
1.-THE American Is expert IN handling
machine guns, ID firm ON the defensive
and develops q strong power OF resis-
lance from his very numerous machine
guns"
'Liaison between the infantry and
artillery was perfect. When infantry
ran into machine gum nests, IL imne-
diately fell back and q new artillery
preparation from accompanying bat
teries followed very promptly
Contrast these statements with the
expressed German opinion when Am
erica first entered the war 60 the ef-
feet that America, not being military
people, could not produce an effective
army in time to be Of any consequence
in the European war.
Such an opinion was the result OF
the German conviction that discipline,
the fundamental OF military effective
mesa could not be obtained readily in
the American Army. Germany had
been 40 years building up the dis
cipline that made her army an effective
military machine and she could not see
how America could accomplish the re-
suit in much less. Americans notori-
ously are undisciplined, not an ODE
dent people, not adaptable TO that
scheme of taking orders that the clock
like demands Of military operations
make necessary.
: But here we have high German tes-
tirnony to the effect that the American
army has accomplished the impos-
sible!
Discipline has been achieved in the
American Army. It Is Q discipline

There is no longer any doubt about
many Of the army and navy boys who
have been taught The art OF boxing in
camp taking up the game as a profess

young boxers who have been released
from the various camps have applied to
promoters for matches and in most
cases they were boys who had never
taken 10 the boxing game before. IN
nearly every case these young men
were anxious TO get a chance to make
good and offered to demonstrate their
worth before being Pat on the cards.
