any official knowledge is concerned, is dead

But no pen will ever touch the Immortality

people, For them it can never die. First
it lives in the memory of two million young
Americans who wore the khaki and the over

the pang of parting, the suns and fog Of
France. the misery of interminable marches.
the vermin and filth of the trenches, the de-
lights of box-car travel, the shock OF battle,
the morass of the Argonne and the flaming
wheat fields of the Marine. They were the
A. E. F., an all-embracing term that meant
always something more than regiment or di-
vision, whether in the s. o. S. or the front
lines. They were the A. E. F., and to them
those three letters will ever summon pictures
only they can understand.
So, too, the rest of us, though we may
never share that memory with them, will
place the A. E. F. along with Washington's
ragged continentals, along with Lees Army
of the Potomac, along with the who
stormed Stony Point and the men who fought
at Charlottesville and the men who faced
fever and mauser bullets at San Juan and Ell
