Air Service, France, June 16, 1918. % * * &T can’t tell you of all the wonder of these days-—of the great stirring fact that we seem to have arrived in time, and of the tribute the French are paying us by giving us the worst posts of the battle because they know we will not fail them — and of the privilege we have now, not merely to step in and seal a victory, but to bring that victory from | 3000 miles, like a vast wave into Germany! It seems as if over- ight it has become a wonderful thing just to be an American, and to be one of that vast army of young y young — that is fighti h of God to make the worl > for them and foolish — but into this war made it the storted old-age, men, so think o come bac America al of youth against to blast all life! If you could only see how young this army is that you meet everywhere in France, that is fighting at every end of the line, and swarming overseas on every ship! It’s the most as- tounding thing in the world’s history, and on certain days something happens to our e and we are able to see the thing in true proportions. It is worth a life just to live today.”
