GRASTY Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger CopvrloM, 15JS, Iiv Sew York Times Co. 5 Pari, Nov. 27. General J31ln3, Admiral Bonnon and -AmbtiM.-idor Sharp hnve Just completed a.four-dsy automobile tilp to the Ameri can battlefields. I whb a member of the party, nnd we saw many scenes with which the Evbnino Pudmc ledger field correspondents have made Ameri can, readers familiar. After leaving Chaumont, where Gen eral Bliss presented a medal to General Pershlnff, wo saw tho battteflcldH of St. Mllilel and the Argonne, dined with the commandant at the Hotel do Vllle In Verduti, slept In t'10 Verdun citadel, vis ited the famous forts In the lclnlty nnd f returned to Paris by way of Rhcims, Klsmes nnd SoUsons. We were near Metx, but the proprieties did not permit visiting that city, which the French were entering. American soldiers Rave the Allies that superiority over the enemy necessary for victory. They made possible the adop tion by Kurope or those Ideals for which we entered the war. They have shown mat tney rank with the very best sol diers, But soldiering has not been, Is not and. It Is to be hoped, will not he their main business. . The 2,000,000 men constituting our rrmy In Kurope are the cornerstot.e of American citizenship. Ai matters stand, they have had a valuable broadening experience. They have not yet formed military habits or .dopted the point of vler of professional soldiers, Their adventuring Into the Huropean war fur nace has not changed their American character. They can now go back to their various activities at home without i being restless or discontented In their old tasks. .The question of how to turn the swords Into plowshares Is troubling the European countries, where more than fgur years 'of war have necessarily 1 transformed citizens Into soldier. Our auupiauie men nave taken nom or war enthusiastically and cmclentlv. bu' nine MitVof ten of them are still essentially ancnangea ana will go back as eagerly to work as before the war. If no arrangements can be reached In the peace conference for full disarma ment ami a league of nations, America may have to adopt universal training and service and a big navy building program as a permanent peace measure. H' Is felt that our men should avoid carrying home with them the infection Of, militarism which has been the curse of.'Europe, and which, even after the , defeat of Germany, still survives to a '(greater or less extent In all European Y countries. Our- soldiers' experiences In Europe have made them more American than ever, and I phall miss i..y guess If, on returning home, they do not constitute a -permanent and potent Influence for 'maintaining the American tradition of jjfrtedorr from entangling alliances.

V Cordial rclntloni between Luxemburg ers and Americans continue. The inaicli toward the lthlnc so far has not been marked by a single untoward Incident. Indications nro that the Germans nre making an orderly withdrawal, despite frequent quarrels between I'russlnns and German soldler3 from other parts nf the former empire. It Is reported thnt they even refuse to eat together. Prussians told the people of Uie coun tryslde that they were going back to Berlin to re-establish the monarchy and renew tho wnr. The rest of the Ger mans seem well satisfied with the new regime In Germany, and certainly hao no desire to recommence hostilities.
