the last great sacrifice wai was it started arted by I 1 germany only to gratify the selfish greed of a people who had been taught that might Is right 1 I realized the tragic interest of america in these graves as I 1 walked over the hilltop at Gul Ulmont farm near the village of bony and found there two large cemeteries in which american dead lie ile burled buried I 1 realized it anew as gen henry rawlinson I 1 commanding the fourth british army recounted to me the incidents of that battle in which american troops made the first break in Hindenburg the line and when he told me of the wonderful gallantry of those american boys the most gallant gd llant troops that ever fought on a battlefield 1 today more than 1000 of those gallant american boys are buried burled in s soldier 01 graves on that dat battlefield and little littie wooden crosses mark their resting places severe lesson far germany german woney cannot pay for those lives but that spirit of greed of wantonness of selfish ambition that produced the senseless needless war in which they died must mus t be crushed and it can be crushed only by making the germau german pay and pay and pay until he has learned that might ts Is not right and that war for the purposes of conquest and domination Is not profitable an american regiment to which 1 I had bad belonged some years ago and in which were enrolled many personal friends had fought on that field As I 1 walked beside the long rows lows of wooden crosses and knew that some of them marked the resting places of my friends I 1 felt ashay as any other american would have felt under the same conditions that germany must musi pay in order border that germany should loam learn that might Is kotright not right I 1 am sure that every father everi every mother every brother brothe every sister every relative and friend fri end of those american boys who are burled on european battlefields will beef feel that germany ujust pa pay and pay heavily for
