article on the present French-Amerr-

this:
Somewhat over a month ago a
French general encountered an Amer

Thierry.
"How long have your men been on
the march?' asked the general.
"Thirty-six hours"
Then Of course they are too tired
to go in."
Not at all-they'll go right in"
Can you stop the Germans"
Certainly we can stop them"
1t was thus that an American In
fantry regiment and five batteries of
artillery were thrown straight across
the road from Metz to Paris. The
Germans not only did not advance
one step farther along that road; they
were Immediately driven back by the
Americans and their re-enforcements
