be rather OVERRIDING their Qualification over the
decision to put American units in brgades with
British and French battalions for immediate fight
ing Possibly there isn't full appreciation by
Europe of Americas spirit in this war.
America is not in this war for glory or profits
sake Americas spirit was demonstrated, clearly

If conceited German autocracy never appre-
ciated our seriousness, it ought to now What
we've offered may be only drop in the bucket,
but it's there and it was all that was available.
And we're going to fill the bucket!
