PERSHINC SENDS
THANKS TO THE MEN
FOR GALLANT WORK
Message to the Soldiers for
Their Sacrifices and
Help
DEFEAT AUTOCRACY
Wants the Soldiers to Carry Home
High Ideals and to Live as They
Have Served

Gen. John J. Pershing, commander
in-chief of the American expedition
ary forces, in an order received at
the Northeastern department, sends
personal thanks to the soldiers of
New England for their sacrifices and
help in winning the war.
His message is to the troops from
New England already demobolized
and to those in the cantonments
awaiting demobolization. The Off
cial text is as follows:
"My Fellow Soldiers-Now that
your service with the American Ex-
peditionary Forces is about to termin-
ate, | cannot let you go without a
personal word. At the call to arms,
the patriotic young manhood of AM
erica eagerly responded and became
the formidable army whose decisive
victories testify to its efficiency and
its valor. With the support of the
nation, firmly united to defend the
cause of liberty, our army has exc
cuted the will of the people with res
olute purpose. Our democracy has
been tested, and the forces of auto
cracy have been defeated. To the
glory of the citizen-soldier, our
troops have faithfully fulfilled their
trust and in a succession of brilliant
offensives have overcome the menace
of our civilization.
"As an individual, your part in the
world war has been an important
one in the sum total of our achieve
ments. Whether keeping lonely Wig
in the trenches, or gallantly storming
the enemy's stronghold; whether en-
during monotonous drudgery at the
rear, or sustaining the fighting line at
the front, each has bravely and eff
GENTLY played his part. By willing
sacrifice of personal rights; by cheer
full endurance of hardship and priva-
ton; by vigor, strength and indomit-
able will, made effective through or
ganization and cordial cooperation,
you inspired the war-worn allies with
new life and turned the tide of
threatened defeat into overwhelming
victory.
with a consecrated devotion to
duty and will to conquer, you have
loyalty served your country. BY
your exemplary conduct a standard
has been established and maintained
never before attained by any army.
With mind and body as clean and
strong as the decisive blows you de-
livered against the foe, you are soon
to return to the pursuits of peace. In
leaving the scenes of your victories,
| ask that you carry home your high
ideals, and continue to live as you
have served-an honor to the prin-
ciples for which you have fought.
"It is with pride in our success that
| extend to you my sincere
thanks for your splendid service to
the army and to the nation. Faith
fully,
JOHN J. PERSHING,
"Commander-in-C Chief"
