results of his resent conferences with
the food controllers of England,
France and Italy.
despite the prospects for large
wheat crop in the nation all conserva-

stringent economy as was patriotical-
Iy observed by the American people

AMERICANS IN FRANCE
AND AMERICANS AT HOME

In speaking of the American SOL
diers in France, Premier Clemenceau
said in the French House of Deputies
"The French generals tell me the
victory was peculiarly American in its
conception and execution. l am much
impressed with the magnificent disci-
pline, daring, and bravery of the
American troops"
David Lloyd George, Prime Minister
of England, in speaking of our SOL
diers, said:
eve know that when they appear in
the battle line they fight in way
worthy of the great traditions of
their great country. This is in itself a
source of support, sustenance, and en-
enlargement to all those who with
anxious hearts are watching the con-
fiict going on in France"
The English and French Prime Min
listers have only expressed the opinion
of the world of the Americans in
France. Our soldiers part in the great
drive against the Germans is worthy
of our great Nation. On September
2s begins the campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, the drive toward victory
which it is the part of the Americans
at home to make triumph and sue
cess. If we do our part as well as our
soldiers do theirs, our response will be
worthy of our great country and of
our soldiers and sailors. And every
good American will do his or her best
to make it so.
