The great stores of army supplies are being sold and soon the last representative the army that crossed the Atlantic to save the world's freedom shall nae disappeared. This same process of evacuation is going on in France, in Italy and in Germany. The American occupation is coming to an end. The final stages of the greatest military movement eer attempted have been reached. Over two million men had been transported and nearly two million Sfl more were preparing lo go. It was an unprecedented undertaking, accomplished with wonderful results. The Americans,, in manners and daring, were strangely new to the I continental European, and even to the British. They were unconven-1 tional, independent, aggressive, confident, determined. They gave the English surprises and made the French stare in amazement. This was during the war period When the war ended, they became the ' spenders that kept whole communities alive and boosted the cost of living. More than one French town will miss the khaki clad soldier boys H i from across the Atlantic and, when the years roll by, the people of Europe will look back to the American invasion as something almost I beyond the power of language to describe. |
