telling how when the Americans left
their rest areas May 81 it was planned
they should be brigaded with the
French; how as the United States

German drive pressed nearer and
nearer Paris; how then the American
commander begged that his forces be
allowed to fight the fight alone.
Let us fight 1t in our own way
was the cry, land we will drive the
Germans back from Paris" And they
did.

tragic pattern. AS our men went up
to- take their positions in Lucy-le-

had then pressed, the men. women and
children who had lived and loved and
worked in that little town filed OUT
They were the refugees, their hearts
heavy with the sick desperation or the
homeless; their arms weighed down
with babies and things less dear. some
of them walked. some OF them rode.
All Of them made Il mute cry OF
wrongs TO be righted And the men
on the way to the front had fresh
reminder of why they wero going.
