camps in France and England were
moved to the front.
Foch now knew they could walk.
He decided on an offensive. On a Ger.
tain day he issued an order to the
French troops not to retreat a foot
farther. For a short time the two
armies stood immovable. 1t was a
terrific impact of infantry against in
fantry, foOtman against fOotman.
Then Foch moved up his fresh re-
serves. tens of thousands of Ameri-
cans among them. Result: A sue
cessful offensive on both fronts-the
Huns thrown back more than twen-
ty miles, $50 French towns and vii
lagos liberated over a thousand big
guns, ten thousand machine guns, mil
lions of rounds Of ammunition and
seventy thousand prisoners captured.
And the Americans made that pos
sible, Against them were hurled the
crack troops of Germany-and they
went on, There are five divisions of
the Prussian guards. They are to the
kaiser what the old guard was to Ma
poleon. Two of these divisions were
sent against the Americans-and the
Americans went on! There are but
four divisions Of the PrusSian guards
now, and one of them needs mend

Fight? Courage? You ought to
hear our boys damn the trench, the
shell holes, and other hiding places
that hamper mems movements and
make difficult and ineffective the
handling of guns. Our Yankee boys
stand up boldly because in that posi-
ton they can pour their fire into the
enemy with deadlier aim.
And just as our men who landed at
the French Atlantic ports and went
up to the Marine and helped the
French hurl the foe, baffled and beat
en-, back from Paris; just as they
crossed the channel and joined the
English in the great offensive before
Amien, they are moving to that Aus
tro-Italian line that stretches from the
Alps to the Adriatic sea. They are
coming by rail from France and by
water across the Mediterranean.
Every day the movement Of men and
supplies northward goes on. Gradu-
ally we are moving to face the Aus
trians in Italy as We did the Ger
mans in France. Against our coming
Italian, British and French troops are
bravely holding the line, as the French
and British held it in France.
And undoubtedly when we are as
ready in Italy as we are in France,
the Austrians will recoil before our
as the Germans have already
done.
Our boys are imbued with the same
spirit here as in France. Certain
troops here left for the front today
and we gave them a farewell party
at the Y. M. c. A. headquarters last
night. The boys, who were leaving
have a "jazz" band. Now if you've
never heard a jazz band your musical
education is incomplete. It's made up
of about every known musical instru-
ment. It's a lot of fun. For two hours
we had an uproarious time-and at
the end the national airs. The boys
sang every song as a hallalujah.
