It was in his home here that he wrote The Wolves and the Lamb" and the moral of this story is the motto of his people in the war just ended. The moral of this story is that we must war continually with the wicked. Peace is all very we'll in itself but of what use is it with enemies whose word is false, and now that Chateau Thierry has been given back to the French again and this time by the Americans the French people say that ''Now Chateau Thierry has a big place in the heart of every French man."
 While in France I visited Chateau Thierry several times and attempted to become familiar with the history Of the fighting forces in that sector but the records of the various divi-i sions were not completed and it was not till the last of April this year that I was able to get any authentic re- port of the fighting in this sector and this report was mostly that of the second and third divisions who did most of the fighting there
