"The American army in France is
the best arm- in the world, excepting

excellent soldiery wnich I saw.
"Besides being fine soldiers, they
are fine men. I never saw a better
ncral tone among any set of men
in my life.
"General Pershing said he expect
ed that the Germans would attempt
to 'put one over' on the Americans,
but that the men under hrm were
well prepared.
"The American soldiers were
happy, contented men. They were
ell clothed and well equipped in ev

American newspapers and that they
did not come soon enough."
