this to say about our boys, and how
they carried on" in France:

curate portrait of the American

ever more wonderfully represented
abroad than our own. A lonely fig

his jibes and his horse-pIay. the Amer.
lean soldier was. He was stranger
in a very strange land, and there IS
something infinitely pathetic in tho
lone graves struggling about the scat
tered villages all the way from Ar
gonne to Meuse. A little perplexed as
to the reasons for his exile, seized
with an intense longing at all times
TO be home-once the job was done
and. done right-but in some strange
way actually conscious that he repre-.
senCed America in Europe and there
fore had certain obligations con-
ferred upon him, the first of which
was to demonstrate the indubitable
superiority of America to Europe in
all that really counted
And, when the last of him has gone
from Europe, save for the thousands
who sleep in graves French peasants
are already caring for, am sure the
legend OF the American doughboy
will survive and aourtsh in the land
which whenever it rainAd-as it u.s.
ually did ne chuckled over Sunny
France" IF he was ever understood
fully, he was appreciated. He made
friends. He broke hearts and some.
times heads afterwards when his vic.
tories were resented. His generosity
was bOundless, his youth in an old
country-whose youth had largely
been sacrificed before he came-was
magnificent. He was never conquer
ed, benevolently assimilated. cuItur-
ally captured-he clamored Cor gum
and consumed candy by the ton. but
he did every JOB that was asked II

have gone to Berlin if he had rot been

which saw him in action will ever IN
vite him to come to Europe again as
the kaiser aud his advisers did two
