American Canadians"

Thousands of Americans served In
che British forces during the World
war, and judging by the stories one
hears today they felt perfectly at
home with the ''Tommies."
One of the principal reasons, doubt
less, is the treatment they were &C
corded, for apparently the British paid
them the highest compliment of treat
ing them just as their own, with no
favors and no determinations.
An American recruit for British
service, Carleton G. Bowden, seed
industry leader of Boise. Idaho, today,
who afterward became an officer in
the English army, tells of his expert
ence In taking the kings shilling"
the British expression for joining up.
When the recra,ting officer asked his
birthplace he gave it as Memphis,
Tenn.

slow wink, "what was the birthplaceF'
Bowden fumbled for a reply.
"Shall we say Ottawaf" asked the
officer.
Correct, sir"
"Ottawa it is" And BOwden found
himself in the army.
Two years later, when he was on
observation post duty in the front line
for an English battery, the eve Of an
attack, Bowden learned that eight Of
ten supposed Canadians who shared
his dugout had been born In the
United States.

That "Counter-Attack Note"


One Of the classics of the war is the
famous "counter-attack note" written
by an American general during the
fighting at Chateau Thierry. Accord
ing to the popular version, a German
attack had forced back an American
and French division and the French
corps commander advised retreat,
whereupOn the American general re-
piled "The American flag has been
compelled to retire. This is unendur-
able. We are going to counter attack"
These statements have been attributed
to both Maj. Gen. Robert L. Billiard
and Maj. Gen. Omar Bundy.
AS a matter of fact, the author Of
the counter-attack note was Maj. Gen.
Joseph T. Dickman, commander of the
Third division. On July Is. 1918, at
his headquarters at Chateau-la-Doul-
tire, Col. R. 81. @. Kelton, his chief
of staff, showed him on the map how
part of the division had apparently
been dislodged from its advanced posi-
ton and how the French One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth division had been
forced to give ground. General de
Montdesir, the French corps COM
mander, ordered both units to with
draw to a position further back.
General Dickman glared at the map
which showed the Germans in his front
lines Then his lower jaw was thrust
forward and he growled, "Well, d-n
it, let's get 'em out of there" So he
despatched to the French high COM
mand this note: "We regret being
unable on this occasion to follow the
cOunsels of our masters, the French,
but the American flag has been forced
to retire. This is uncomfortable and
none of our soldiers would understand
their not being asked to do whatever
is necessary to re-establish the situa-
ton. At present 1t is humiliating to
US and unacceptable to our cOuntry's
honor. We are going to counter-at-
tack"
French G. Fl. Q. seized on that letter
as propaganda to prove that the new
American troops not only would fight
but preferred to fight. The London
newspapers hailed the news of the
counter-attack as "the best feature
of the days news" A new day had
dawned in the deadlock on the west
ern front.

forces he stood before the tomb Of
the great Frenchman who had aided

and, making an appropriate gesture,

Ii seems a shame to spoil a good story
and one which would naturally find
its way into the school histories of
the future, but it must be done. For
General Pershing never uttered that
sentence, even though he might have
Endorsed it as highly appropriate.
1t is true that he was present in the
Picpus cemetery in Paris when 1t was
uttered, but the man who voiced the
fact that America was repaying an
ancient debt to France was member
Of Pershing's staff-Col Charles e.
Stanton. The words which he used
were Lafayette, nous sOmme la !"
and the thought back of those words
thrilled the people of France i'm
measurably. But when the story was
cabled back to America, the phrase
