AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.

General Pershing's recent
war report gives us a history
of the work which the Ameri.
can army has done for France
The report is concise and sol.
dierly document, evidently
without trace of eXaggeration,
But reading between the lines
we see the high courage of our
American boys clearly reveal
ed. The general closed with
a wonderful tribute to the pa
tience and heroism of his Off
GERS and soldiers.
The work which the Ameri-
cans have done in the war is
far more than military experts
foresaw as possible in so short
a space of time. 1t was not to
be expected that a body of
young men drawn from peace
full civilian life and with a
training brief though intensi-
fed, should be able to prevail
wherever they were used
against Germany's seasoned
troops.
Their success can only be at
tributed to the national Amer
lean character. The American
is resourceful. He has initia-
tive and is full of latent posi-
bilites. AS Kipling says, he
turns a keen, untroubled face
Home to the instant need of
things.
If he undertakes a new job
he uses his mind upon it, APP
plies the principles of his last
work, so far as they are appli-
cable, figures it out and becom-
es master of it.
Great efficiency doubtless
arises from the drilling of men
to some one task. But it is not
the efficiency of the American,
which comes from his innate
adaptability and the use of his
reasoning powers.
Our young Americans took
hold of war as they would of
any other new work. Inspired
by glowing patriotism, they att
tackled its difficulties and mas
tered them. They brought to
war the American idea that
"the job had to be done and it
was up to them to do it,"
