TERM APPLIED TO
II. S. SOLDIERS
I,OS ANGKEES, Sept. 5 —"Miracle
men" that's the term applied to the
soldiers of the United States in
France hv Joseph Scott of this city,
who is national commissioner of the
Knights of Columbus to the battle
fronts in France, and who has just
returned home after passing ten
weeks in Europe in his official ea
Djtglty.
i ,J“Tije bravery and fortitude of the
A'uor\(ran soldiers at the front have
i filled the entire allied world with ad
1 fcirati^i because they have aeconi
44t! MM miracles," said Mr. Scott.
"But our soldiers over there can
! not do it all. They must be given
every support at home. No sacrifice
which the civilian population may
make will compare in the least de
gree with what our soldiers are sac
rlficlng for us.
"The 'untrained' men from America,
j the butts of a thousand jokes from
the German army, have today turned
the tide of battle, and the kaiser and
his minions are stumbling back to
! the Rhine in front of American bay
| i nets.
“How my heart thrills when 1
think of those bronzed hoys, wounded
hut ever-smiling, who returned from
Chateau Thierry and other glory
zones, where Americans routed the
haughty Prussians!
"Yes. although they were wounded
nigh unto death, their eyes shol lire
and they sent messages to their rotii
j rades to finish the work they had al
ready begun It's wonderful, marvel
nus! No one knows the first thrill
; of patrioti-m until lie has seen what
i I have seen in Urance!
"The American at home who thinks
Is already ha-- made Ills sacrifices
had heller get a new grip oil himself
lie lias only begun to suffer. English
and French know—and we must learn
j that Germany never can be starved
j into submission. They know and yve
' must learn—that the military power
j of Germany, with its kaiser, yust be
j utterly crushed before there' can be
any peace.
“Our hoys in France know this.
Our civilians at home must be made
P know it!"

message of our sympathy for the dear
ones whom our beloved comrade has
left behind.
