Chad bourne, of the New York Parade Committee, President Wilson sent this greeting to the men of the National Army: “Please to say to the men how entirely my heart is with them and how my thoughts will follow them across the sea with confidence and also with genu ine envy, for I should like to bo with them on the field and in * the trenches where the real and final battle for the independ ence of the United States is to be fought, alongside the other peoples of the world strug gling like ourselves to make an end of those things which have threatened the integrity of their territory, the lives of their people and the very char acter and independence of their government. Bid them god- speed for me from a very full 1 heart.” MONEY NO OBJECT The United States Government has already loaned close to three billion dollars to our allies. Sounds like a sizable sum, but it is not a marker to what the United States Government intends spending to properly clothe and equip our fight ing men and to make them comfort able and contented. !
