SECRETARY BAKER REPLIES

Secretary Baker in his acknowledge
ment expressed appreciation of the sem
tiinents set forth in the address, and
added:
1.-THE American army was inspired
throughout it's entire participation in
the war by the superb heroism with which
the soldiers of its veteran allies had
fought and resisted the aggression of the
enemy. They were further inspired by
the sacrifices which the civilian popula-
ton of our allies made for the support
of their armies and of the cause. Our
army felt itself welcomed into a great
company, and rejoices that the victorious
conclusion of the Struggle is a common
glory to the soldiers of the participating
armies.
"American soldiers temporarily resi-
liant in England were received with warm
hospitality by the people Of Great Brit
ain: they formed many ties Of affection
and respect, and share with your ex-
cellencies the hope that the recollection
of these great engagements OF the nospi-
talities of your people will continue to
be the basis of permanent goodwill and
understanding between the armies and
the peoples of our respective countries.
Secretary Daniels sent the following
message:
cone Of the memories which the off
GERS and men of the navy VIII al
ways cherish is that of the unoounded
hospitality which was extended to them
by the people of Great Britain and Ire
land when their duties brought them
within the confines Of the United King
dom during the great war. and the close
comradeship which existed between the
fighting forces of the two great Engiisn
speaking countries. had very particular
effect in winning the victory for right
and justice. -
ut viii always be a source OF graft
fication to know that the conduct OF our
men was of such nature as to inspire
such feelings of affection in the hearts
and minds of the people of Great Britain
and Ireland as indicated in the commur-
ication received from their representa-
tives'' f
