that upon him depended all that hung
on his duty Had II not been for this
spirit we never could have accomplished
what we did.
I'VE entered the war In deplorable
state of unpreparedness. Men were sent
to the front who scarcely knew one end
of gun from the other 1t was neces-

on the American army In 1919"
