OF
AMERICAN SOLDIERS

There are some notable achieve
ments of the American troops in the
great war just closed which every
body should remember-that the
ianks turned the tide of the war July
Is at Chateau Thierry. when they
started the enemy back toward the
Rhine, that they followed this up
with another victory at Fesimes that
they shot the life out of the boches
at st. Mihiel, and again the same
thing at the Argonne forest, the hard
est of all positions of the war to take
where the Americans went against
the kaiser's crack troops and which
were three times reinforced by fresh
divisions: again at Client, Vincennes
and Sedan they rolled the hun butch
ers back at the Dun they swan a wide
river, pulling their companions, who
could not swim, after them by ropes,
waded through mud knee deep and in
some places hip deep. and then scaled
the cement walls of the canal by
means of graphing irons and under a
murderous fire from machine guns,
And at last, as finishing touch to
their achievements along the Mouse,
they took Stenay which was hurriedly
evacuated at their approach-the last
act in the war before the armistice
took effect only fifteen minutes be-
fore the hour of II. Paris time, when
the war ceased. The American boys
were in il from the beginning of the
forced retreat of the Huns at Chateau
Thierry TO the last hour OF fighting
which brought victory--the ending of
the greatest war of history and the
destruction of the blood thirsty mon
arches of the world.
The American boys who fell in
battle fell with their faces toward the
foe; they never retreated in a single
instance, and their wonderful mark
manship literally liberated the bat
tlefields with enemy dead and woun-
ded. striking terror to the Huns who
had never before met with such de-
strustive and murderous fire. The
American soldiers and people are not
braggarts. They give full credit to
their comrades in arms and allies for
the wonders accomplished, but lest
we forget and lest we fail to give to
the American fighters the full meas
ure of credit due them, we should
keep their deeds OF wonderful
achievements and heroism in mind
