AMERICA BRINGS
ALLIED VICTORY
SAYS CANADIAN
Premier Sir Robert Bor-
den Eulogizes Yankee
Forces; Declares Ger
many Must be Purged
Of War Madness.

L., AVE- iOnh-olf ROBERT l.. BOr-
Fden, premier Of Canada, arrived here
Friday, after a ten weeks stay in
England and France, firm Sin the
conviction" as he expressed it, that
never was the spirit of the allied ma
lions more steadfast or more resolute
than at present."
|. Americas mighty effort in send
ing more than million men to France
was the deciding factor in bringing
victory out of defeat on the western
front. Sir Robert said:
1T is beyond question that the
victories of the last four weeks would
not have been possible except for the
american divisions which have taken
their place in the battle line"
h Americans Give Confidence
q. i have seen many thousands of
American troops,on board ship and in
camps visited" he continued. 1T
Is impossible to overestimate the in.
creased confidence with which the ar
rival of those mighty armies has in
sp1red the allied nations.
=. Europe is impressed by their
splendid physique, their resurcsful-
ness and adaptabl.4ty. the remark
able rapidity and thoroness with
which they have acquired necessary |
training, and finally, the magnificent |
fighting qualities they have displayed
In every battle in which thew have
been tested.
Harmony Iii Allied Ranks
There Is most effective and har-
monious cooperation between the
armies of the United States, Great
brltian and rance. From Sir David
Beatty, as we'll as from Admiral
Sims and, Admiral Rodman, | know
hat this is equally true of the Brit
sh and American navies." 4
The future peace fthe world rests [
argely upon the unity of purpose
nd action between the United States
nd Great Britain, the premier said.
British and U. s. in Unity {
i trust that these two mighty n
united by strong ties of
inship, language and ideal, may in
pire each other with complete con- |
dence and sympathy in earnest and S
nse!nsn purpose and action to COM v
land the worlds peace and secure
afety and equality of opportunity /,
'r the smaller nationalities and for \
le backward races of the world. o.
he supreme result would indeed "
own all our sacrifice and would
We us much to hope from wider ;,
ague Of nations" Il
Speaking fthe Canadians share in =,
Q allied offensive, the premier said III
ey had won as conspicuous vic
ry as ever fell to their lot since the RI
tbreak OF the war;" hurting back W
e Germans fourteen miles and cap Vi
ring 10000 prisoners and $50 can
n. w;
Canadians and Yanks Formidable ia
The Canadian army welcome the tr'
portunity to fight side by side with -
sir kinsmen Of this common r
aith," he continued. 1.-THE citizen '
dlers OF both countries are essen Y
lily of the same type, and the Ger 6
ms have already found them
tally formidable.
The men from both countries Ik
We learned to realize most wildly IT,
salvage mangnityt of Germany's
pose and methods. They are de- R
mined that this war shall be -
ght to finish and that there
IL be no repetition of its horrors. =
llst Purge Germany of Madness
AS the mastery of the air passes
re and more completely to the al
the German people will realize :
4 war carried to their own terri
es the martyrdom to which they 4
ntlessly subjected other nations. '
equally the duty Of the allied ma y
$ to purge Germany of her mad :
by unsparing use of economic !,
sure until she has given convinc- !
manifestation of sanity aud
n spirit. An assassin state must CT
'arred from the society Of decent
monwealths until they are con-
ed OF its sincere repentance" NJ
