was one OF the allied commanders who
never lost confidence in the ultimate
success of the allied cause, even at a
time when 1t appeared certain to many
OF the best informed military men OF
Europe that Germany was about to
win the war.
Are we going TO break the German
line?" he replied in tone of irrita-
ton, one day to correspondent who
put that question to him in q confer
ence at general headquarters. why,
of course we're going to break the
German line. We're not merely going
through 1t. If | didn't believe 1t could
be done would start back home to-
morri%."
That statement the American CEN
sors would not permit to be cabled.
We had only srlrll force in Europe
[ the time and the American COM
mander-in-chieI felt that he should
not be quoted on the general military
situation when he had but q few thous-
and men in the trenches. But we did
eventually break the German line, and
this was the kind OF inspiring talk
that came from Gen. Pershing's head
quarters even in the gloomiest days.
Many of the best informed COM
manders in the allied armies believed
that Germany would win the war af-
ter her successful smash against Brit
ish in March, 1918. One American Of
ficer who now holds a very important
post in the American army frankly told
inc he believed the game was up.
Before the summer is over the Ger
mans will smash the British again"
he said. They will drive through to

ish and Belgian armies in the north.

Francis Lynde, the author o
"The Master of Appleby," The
Grafters," 1.-THE Helpers
Love in Transit" and many
other novels of adventure and
romance, lives the year around
IN his home on Lookout noun
tain. The story of his life reads
in many respects like that OF
Jack London.
Francis Lynde was born IN
Lewiston, N. ", Nov. IL, 1900
He received a scientific educa-
ton. and for many years was
mining engineer. Later he be-
came a railroad man and occu-
pied various positions with west
err railroads. During these
wears he had many experiences,
n the west and along the gulf
coast, which later found their
way into the novels. While still
a Young man Mr.. Lynde became
general passenger agent for the
Western Pacific. After several
wears service in this capacity
he was transferred to Chatta-
nooga.
II knew then that It was the
beginning Of the downward
climb In railroad management,
said Mr.. Lynde. when man
becomes general passenger
agent he has reached the top.
After that he begins to go back.
