YANKEE VALOR WON
WAR, SAYS SHARP
Germans Beaten by Our Aid
to Allied Lines.

In his first address since returning
from his post as United States Ambas-
sador TO France William @. Sharp told
n huge crowd in Victory Way yesterday
afternoon that the defeat of Germany
was made possible solely through the
great strength that America gave the
allied line in France.
His appearance was on the occasion
Of the New York Centrnls official well
coming Of the first thousand Of it's a.
600 employees returned from the army
and naval service.
The railroad engineers who were in
France we're splendid construction men
and splendid fighters" said the former
Ambassador. mo finer set OF men went
to Europe than the men in that branch
OF the service. 1t must not be sup
posed that those who were in Paris were
entirely removed from danger. As an
example ! point to Col william Bar
clay Parsons, who was in charge of con-
struction work in France and who had
some particularly exciting experiences
at Cambria
81 am not going to tell you of my
diplomatic work In Paris But on this
day, which the Victory Loan committee
has set aside as Chateau Thierry day,
1t is fitting | should tell you where the
credit for victory in this war lies
was at lunch with famous French
General the commander Of the Algerian
Division, one day in Nancy, and he
frankly said that victory was only Sc
cured through the valor Of the American
troops. He MENTIONED an example Of
one OF his units between two American
units in fight not far from where we
were sitting. BY the sheer example of
the bravery and courage Of the Amer
lean boys the French kept on he said.
That Is the feeling OF people all over
France. Gen. Pershing came to my Office
just before / left for the United States,
and he said he was going TO impress
upon the boys what their achievement
really meant In the war"
The New York Central Offices emptied
for the celebration, and Victory Way
from the Grand Central to Fiftieth
street was jammed with employees and
their friends, Marcus A Dow head OF
the safety department. was in charge OF
the meeting Lieut.. Louis A. Kuerzi
who went over with the first American
contingent in 1917, led the parade OF
veteran railroad soldiers up Park ave-

To-day sitting in Paris are the dele
