The Marshal nnection with the meeting e extension of the Ger- "och pointed out the diffi- s that had been overcome and d that peace must be commensur- » with the price of vietory. Ger- v now was beaten, he added, but her resources, especially in men, peration in a comparati short was quite possible, It is now duty of the Allies to prevent further aggressions Praise for Americans. Marshal Foch praized the work of the American troops and said that Ganeral Pershing had asked that the American forces be concentrated for au attack on one sector. The Allied genecralissimo admitted that the Ar- gonne-Meuse front, where the Ameéri- cans began their offensive on Sep- tember 26, was a ‘sector hard to tackle.” The Marshal said he had told General Pershing: “Your men have the devil's own punch. They will get away with all that. Go to it.” The American attack succeeded, the Marshal continued. “and here we are on the Rhine.” The armistice was not concluded too soon and the Allies got all they asked f from Germany without continuing the fighting.

It is by using the Rhine that we must make it impossible far them to recommence the coup of 1914. The Rhine is the common barrier of all the Allies, pre- cisely of all those who united to eivilization. The Rhine is the suarantee of peace for all nations who have shed their blood in the cause of liberty. Then let us watch on the Rhine. This was to have been made in Lor- raine on November 14. with six American and twenty French divisions. “This is for me tunity.’ Marshal Foch began, “to tell vou all the d things 1 think of the American army and of the part it played on our side. Your soldiers were superb. They came to us young, enthusiastic and carried forward by a vigorous idealism and they marehed to battle with admirable gallantry. “They Were Superb.” “Yes, they were superb. There is no other word. When they appeared our armies were, as you know, fatigued by three years of relentless struggle and the mantle of war laid heavily upon them. We were mag nificently comforted by the virility of your Americans. ias The youth of the United States Superfical—will not brought a renewal of the hope that from its defeat?” hastened victory.
