because the French army did not con-
slider that 1t was beaten, could not be-
lieve that II was beaten. even though In
retreat, and because It had the will to
win" the Germans were licked
Major Malye spoke briefly of the
entrance of America into the war He
said that France had come to feel that
all the world was selfish and was simply
waiting to see which side would win and
then Join that side. But when America
came in, that changed things. 1t was not
so much the added help of men and arms
which they knew 1t would bring to them,
but 1t was also the feeling that America
was standing with them, that the ideals
which both had cherished were worth
fighting for and that there was some
thing besides selfshness in the world
In this connection, the speaker ex-
pressed his thanks to the parents OF the
boys who fought over there. He said
that whatever any man did in the grea,
struggle was due in large measure &c
the training which he had received In
his boyhood. And so it is to the fathers
and mother Of these boys that a large
part of the credit is due, said Major
Malye
France has 100000 dead. said Maio,
lives as much with her dead as she does
with her living.
And the memory of your dead is dear
to us in France" he said.
The war is over, but the fight is not yet
over. and France is keeping up the will
to win which carried her through the
war. The spirit of the soldier is being
carried into the reconstruction of France
Much has heen heard about the suffering
of France. but France herself is not com
