] find that they have tackled the war
in big way and I feel it real pri-
vilege to tour their country and greet
its patriots. They have entered the
war of nations and are in it to win.
They have realized that the conflict
is deliberate attempt on the part
of clever but INSCRIPTIONS nation
to make itself master Of the world and
they do not intend that that imperial
dream shall ever be fulfilled. To that
end they are giving men, munitions
and money with generosity and 10y

sister nations across the sea.
The Will That Wins.
"We're not defeated. We're not
done. We're going to see it through.
"We've faced and survived every
brutality and inhumanity that the
cunning of the Hun could conceive
and we've never yet reached the point
where we would say that he was our
master in any art of war except
cruelty and deceit.
Moreover we're getting stronger
all the time. We're learning and
learning valuable lessons, too, that
will save lives and lives.
"As a matter of fact, now that
we turned our minds to killing
we're learning to do it better than
the Germans do and with strategic eff
fectiveness that promises an ultimate
peace with victory.

game and he knows it. That's the
reason he s feeling for peace at ev-
cry meeting of the reichstag."
Tank Talk.
F'The relation between tanks and
machine guns is as ant-eaters to
ants. The armored monsters either
knock out the. German suicide clubs,
or squash them fat. In American slang
they eat 'em alive and leave a safe
path for the Tommies who follow them
up.
"When your boys go over to war,
don't be too sad about it. Whatever
your casualties are they can't be as
bad as ours have been. Your regi-
ments can t be shelled to bits or gassed
to man, because your soldiers will
be protected by tanks and gas-masks,
safety devices unknown in the early
days when the french and English

"The tanks are life-saving device
that has aided and will aid materially
in conserving the man-power of Eng
land, America, France and their al
lies.
"The tanks are steel-clad big bro

lets glance harmlessly from their iron
sides instead of burying themselves
in the soft flesh of advancing Eng
lish Tommies. Under their protection
the soldiers are not entirely safe but
they re much safer than they ever
were without them.
Nothing can stop the tanks ex-
cept a veritabie rain Of shells. I'm
affected by lesser projectiles they move
irresistibly over shell-holes, parapets,
and even Hindenburg lines.''
The Real Power Behind the Tanks.
81 smile when they call me 'the
man behind the tanks as if were
responsible for their power. I'm not.
It's the women behind the tanks or
any other instrument Of war that make
them irresistible. The men are fight
ing for their women-folk and without
their sacred inspiration tanks or guns
would be manned Authenticity in
stead of resolutely or, better, heroical-

land have been great stimulant to
patience and courage and I'm glad to
say that American women are of the
same unfailing sure-fre caliber.''
Tommy Talks About Sammy.
"They were typical TONNES sitting
with their feet buried in the water
and mud of the trenches.
