where alongside the thing that the
United States-the peace-loving, I'M

plished, says the Red Cross maya
zine. In little more than a year we
had organized and dispatched, across
5000 miles of the Atlantic that inter
vene between the shores of France
and our own ports, more than 2,000,-
900 fighting men: Compared with
this, the accomplishment of Napoi-

worlds greatest military genius
even his successful crossing Of the
Alps and his unsuccessful expedition
into Russia, are as mere child's play.
