CALLS OUR ARMY
"MIRACLE MEN"
Lord Northcliffc Praises
Fighting Qualities of
Our Soldiers
QUIET, DARING, MODEST
British Editor Snys Boys in
Khaki Resemble Amer
ica's Splendid Sailors
By CHARLES H. GRASTY
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Capvrloht, 1)19, bu .Vno Vtrk Ttmrn Cn.
Turin. Nov. 8.
Lord Northcliffc has pent met a state-
mentf which the following extracts are
a part:
"Revisiting Franco after an Interval
.of some months, I nm nkeu many
ciueatlonn as to public opinion In Great
Britain about tho qualities of the
2,000,000 men of tho United Stated army.
A portion la fighting finely with the
Brltldh army In tho north. Tho main
force Is engaged In a great atrugglo In
tho Argonno in a battlo of tho vvllder
Tiess, ns It Is called, where vast masses
of Germans are, defending MczlcrcE '
the road Into Germany by way of Metz.
"I was. thorcforo, ono of tho first to
Jiav the opportunity of observing tho
kind of soldier tho United States would
produce. "A good many people, and not
a few Americans among them, had got
it Into tholr heads that the American
soldier would enter Into the war In the
exuberant spirit of a baseball 'fan.' That
was not so In 1015. The boys who hae
been rushed across tho Atlantic In hun
dreds of thousands, aided, If I may be
allowed to say so, by John Hull's nay
and transports, are Just a) quiet and
determined, daring, and modest ns that
portion of tho American navy which is
working with frlctlonlc and fraternal
rnlty with the British neet.
Oar Draft Miracle
"Glancing back to obtain a rough iilca
of tho American effort up to date, as I
have seen it In tho United States, In
Great Britain and in France, ono again
must place on record one's admiration
of tho miracle of tho Instant operation
of the selective draft, or conscription as
we call It over here. The next miracle
was the erecllon of a gigantic CAnton
mrnt. n,l the housing, clothing, feeding,
drilling and railroad transport of your
million ni I witnessed In many pans
of your country. , .
.. .-.. . hi. tuim BArvtre to the
uoinciuenw wim " " - .
caune was the United States support of
unity of command, Dy which hiu" "
great recent lctorlcs have been made
possible. .
When the history of the war comes
to bo written, the story of the signal
corps of the United States army, under
Ocneral Ilmel and Colonel John J.
Carty, w 111 nJd like a page of romance.
' 'Of tho work of tho American lied
Cross and Y. M, C. A., good as it has
been, much more will yet be heard.
"But, perhaps, the greatest achieve,
ment of all was the coming to Kurcpe
of your army, which arrived at ,a mo
ment when the Allies, who had been
suddenly attacked by nn enemy that
had lu'en preparing since the reign of
Frederick the Great, were feeling tho
strain and stress of their effort, for be
lated preparedness means great losses of
blood and material.
V, P. Army righting nperhly
"People who Imagine that General
Pershing should advance nt the rnto of
so many ards"A week should remember
the difficulties which tho British had nt
Ypres, where we rought from 1914 to
1918. Many critics wondered when Ypres
would be In our hnnds Often great
Impitlence was manifested. The Ameri
can nrmy has a similar task. It Is not
only fighting superbly, but It Is holding
up nn Immense number of Germans who
otherwise, perhaps, would hao been dis
persed up and down the lino or might
hno concentrated, outside of Amiens or
Wile, fcr example.
"I oIce the views of every British
officer with whom I have talked In say
ing that the great American effort In
tho Argonnc, faced as It was with a
largo concentration of Germans theie,
has bfen one of the finest of the Amer
ican successes since the putting over of
tho selective draft General Pershing
and his brave boys who nre fighting the
battlo of the wilderness aro earning the
recognition oi nisiory ncro to inemi
HAIL CLEMENCEAU
AS FRENCH SAVIOR
Senators Give Premier a
Great Ovation When He
Appears in Lobby
OVERCOME BY EMOTION
By tha Astociated Pres
I'nrti. K'nv. 8.
rremler Clemencenu nppeared for a
moment last nignt In the lobby of the
Senate after n sitting of that body which
had declared him. In traditional phrase,
to have "deserved well nf his country."
The Premier's approach to the gTOUp
of Senators lingering nftcr the adjourn
ment was the signal for an ovation to
him. He vva speedily surrounded by
numbers of the Senntors, who pressed
loruarci to shake his hand.
"You arc the savior of.Francel" cried
one.
"No, no," replied the Premier, shrug
ging his shoulders. "It Is the country
which has done everything Itself."
"Thnnks to you," tho Senators re
joined, "No, I assure you,' returned tho Pre
mier. "I havo done hut my simple duty.
Any one of you who loves France would
have dono ns much There are moments
when the rplrlt of Itself rises within
one."
Here the Premier's volco failed him.
Ovcrcomo with emotion the tenrs coursed
down his rugged countenance which so
many violent stoTms In the pist had left
Impassive, llecoverlng himself ho said:
"Gentlemen, I thank you I did not
deservo so much honor ns jou have
