...troops. Three times this happened on our roads, and the aviators on both sides have become remarkably effective. Of course there are many air flights, and these are always interesting. I visited nearly all of my sections. They had been rolling steadily for more than twenty-four hours. No less than four of the sections had had men killed the first day, three others had men taken prisoner and all of them had men wounded. I did not get back to my cantonment until after midnight, and left early the next morning to see the remaining sections. It was just...
...rifle and machine gun bullets of smelling his gas and then scrambling into nose-bags, of eating one meal a day on feast days, and none at all on fast days, of staying aware day and night except for an, occasional forty winks stolen when things were more or less calm--in fact six days of pleasant contact with Mr. Boche, which, however, totalled up for all the outfits along the line, smashed his drive on the nose and started him going backwards.

...well. He is inexperienced and new to the game of war, but in spite of all he is "making good." That he is as useful as his French and English allies is liard to believe; they are veterans and he has much to learn. It is encouraging, never the less, to see that the Germans have guessed wrong once more. They laughed at the idea of a powerful English army, they were sure that no large Canadian force would reach their front, and they sneered at the notion of a million Americans in France. To them it seemed impossible that...
