congratulating his 7th Army on the
Sicilian victory, told them today
Your fame shall never die"
You have destroyed the prestige
of the enemy" he said,
The text of the message:
Born at sea, baptized in blood
and crowned with victory in the
course of 38 days of incessant battle
and unceasing labor you have added
a glorious chapter to the history OF
the war.
"Pitted against the best the Ger
mans and Italians could offer you
have been unfailingly successful.
The rapidity of your dash which
eliminated in the capture of Pal
ermo was equaled by the dogged
tenacity with which you stormed
Troina and captured Messina.
The engineers performed prodi-
gies in construction and mainte-
nance of impossible roads over i'm
passable country. The services of
maintenance and supply performed
a miracle. The Signal Corps laid
over 10000 miles of wire, and the
medical department evacuated and
cared for our sick and wounded.
On all occasions the Navy has
given generous and gallant support.
Throughout the operation our air
force has kept the sky clear and
tirelessly supported the operation
of the ground troops,
"As a result of this combined ef-

that we muster. Despite all of our efforts how
forced to ask that you do not travel

We believe that you will realize that only wartime

in helping Shorten the War is greater than your
immediate desire to travel So we know that you
will be glad to cooperate in this way.

. II, even in some small way, YOU can help Shorten
the War by a few days you may spare hat moment
when someone dear to you would have become
casualty.
And there is way that may never have occurred
to you. For you can help Shorten the War by NOT
travelling! So before planning your trip, ask yourself
if the trip will help Shorten the War if the trip is
absolutely necessary.
This unusual request is being made in order to
help relieve the growing serious shortage of vital
passenger train facilities
More than one-haf of all Pullman cars and one
third of all coaches in the United States now are
being used for military movements. Regular trains
are too often unavoidably over-crowded. Service
men and women, under orders andon furloughs and
those on vital missions must travel But when
trains are over-crowded, they too frequently are
forced to stand for long dsanccs-o to cancel their
travel plans altogether.
And the peak of essential wartime travel has not
been reached!
