AT the end OF the review he addressed
them, saying:
High Praise for Cadets.
"It is to me a great pleasure to meet
you and visit this celebration school. Al
low me to express my feeling OF admira-
ton for the numerous officers Of this
school who fought 30 gallantly in France
and Belgium. They have taken a large
share In the training OF the splendid
troops who went to Europe to fight for
freedom and a decided victory.
II pay tribute Of deep respect to
the memory of those who have fallen.
May their example live among us all.
In all the course Of history the Ameri-
oan army Is the most striking example
OF a force always serving right and
just causes. During this war, by per-
sonal experience, l was able to realize
how thoroughly every officer and SOL
der was convinced OF the ideal for
which he fought. This feeling makes an
army invincible.
II have heard European military au-
thorities say that the officers trained at
West Point were the best trained In the
world. Such schools give nation men
of high education devoted to their civil
and military duties. Every country
needs them. Here is a splendid example.
I wish you all successful careers and
happiness
