FRENCH TRIBUTE TO
AMERICAN SOLDIER
America Largely Instru-
mental in Winning the War
States Grateful France

Soldiers Of the American army are
credited by the French government
with being largely instrumental in
winning the victory which came to
right and justice on November IL, 1918
when the armistice Germany begged
was granted. This appears in a
souvenir pamphlet dedicated to the
American soldiers who fought over
seas and which viii soon be presented
through the recruiting offices to every
soldier who saw service with the
American expeditionary forces and
who did not receive one before leav-
ing France.
This memorial voices the feeling of
France to America and Americas noble
sons, who were over there. not omit
ting those who made the supreme sac
rifice for liberty. The following high
tribute to the American soldiers ap-
pears in an eloquent introduction:
"At the most critical moment of the
struggle which has lasted for three
years against German Imperialism
sou came as strong youths into a
country where the young had persisted.
TO the weeping you brought smile,
60 those who had been despoiled your
generosity restored hope. to the
fatherless children you offered JOY.
The summing up of these recollections
must remain an inspiration to you and
those who follow you. in all future eff
forts.
'Often, marching towards dusk,
along some valley road in France, you
have watched the lights as they began
TO shine out from the windows of the
little farmhouses. while the mists
gradually enveloped all but the
shsdowy forms of objects almost in
distinguishable Let it be so in your
minds when YOU think of France; re-
member the innumerable small houses
which 100000 men have died to save,
and those hearths wnere a fire still
burns, though the poi1u who left it
viii never return.
IF any harsh thoughts remain, let
the mists unfold all that is not the
romance of this war-the drawing to-
gether in fraternal love of those who
have suffered This is the prayer of
France. Together with the gratitude
of her living. there is the stirring
memory of her dead. Tt carried its
MESA sc to you. as 2. blessing from
those who because OF their gallant
sacrifice. shall not have given their
lives in vain"
The memorial which is being sent
cut by the French government, is a
history in tabloid of Americas par
ticipation in the war, beginning with
Cantigny. where the gallant First di-
vision made history. to the attack on
the heights of Sedan. Just before the
armistce was granted.
The soldiers of the American expedi-
tionary forces who wooed and won
brides among the French people will
find most interesting that portion of
the memorial dealing with the home
life of France. A supply of these
memorials have been shipped to the
local recruiting station through the
recruiting publicity bureau of the
army in New York. They win be is
sued to every man entitled to one as
soon as they are received

ceivably he is right; this is a matter
for years of controversy, but since he
encouraged the idea that the insoluble
could be solved, he is now attacked
by those, who, not having had his ex-
perience, still believe in the efficiency
of his principles, and, that had they
been applied, these same principles
would have solved everything.
But if the president is being at
tackled by one wing for having failed,
for having stayed in Europe instead
of quitting and coming home, thus

was called the pepper pot Of the White

them on the field, has been named
manager for next year in place Of
Clarence Rowland.
While it wasn't great surprise
that Comiskex had released Rowland,
1t was surprise that the new man
was Gleason. It generally was sup.

not even on speaking terms. In fact.
Gleason refused to join the Sox last
year as coach, q job he had held
number Of years.
Gleason will begin active service at
the New York Joint meeting.
It may be recalled that when Comis.
key felt compelled to make change In
management in midseason away back
in 1905 he selected Fielder Jones.
though, according to accurate Informal.
ton, he was not on speaking terms
with Jones ut the, time.
| Just why Rowland was dismissed is
q matter left unanswered by Comiskey.
Outside Of saying that he felt it

effort to give Chicago fans the best
possible baseball results, the South

more than 80 years in the professional

Rowland gained his baseball fame as

We were seeing them everywhere now

that showed nothing but white-topped
