New ‘By-Word’ of U. S. Arms
Coined By American General
In The Marne Counter-Attack
Has Another Famous Saying B een Added to Historic Fighting
Words of America’s Great War Heroes by Doughty Of
ficer Whose Name is Not Yet Known to Public?

<>* our told lorn would understand their ,
not being asked to do whatever Is nec
ftsaary to remedy a situation which Is
humiliating and unacceptable t<» our ,
country's honor. WE AKE GOING TO
COUNTER ATTACK!”
These words of an unnamed American
general written after American troops
ad been forced to give ground near
Conde-en-llric, south of the Marne, last
Monday, seem destined to take their (
place with the immortal words of other
irmy and navy heroes dear to the hearts
d 2 the American people.
The French general in command of that ,
Kjrtlcular section of the front wrote to
6 American commander that the re- ,
Ferse was not serious and that there ;
was plenty of time in which to retake :
the lost, ground. He counselled delay.
This brought the notable reply from the ■
American general.
The American troops did counter attack
and they won back the lost ground with (
an additional half mile for good measure. (
The? quotation undoubtedly .ill take Its
place In the minds of many Americans
beside the famous rallying cry of General
Phil Sheridan:
“Face the other way, boys! We are go
ing back/’
General Sheridan’s met i the Valley
of the Shenandoah on the morning of
October 19th, 1864. had been forced to re*
treat after a surprise attack by Genera)
Early’s army, t Sheridan, returning from
Washington, had reached Winchester.
Va., twenty miles away, when the sound
of the battle reache him. Then began
Sheridan's Ride, made famous in verso
by Thomas Purhanun Read. "Tho boys”
turned back and drove the Confederates
from the Shenandoah Valley.
One of the earliest of the historic say
ings of American military heroes is cred-
Ited to General John Stark, who as he led
his men to the assault on part of I’.ur
goyne's army near Bennington, V k . Au
gust 16th, 1777, cried:
“There they are, boye' We beat them
today or Molly Stark's a widow!”
The Americans almost wiped out a
force of 1.000 British and General Stark
lived until 1822.
John Paul Jones, "father of tho Am
erican Navy,” coined the expression
which has been a guide to American sol
diers and sailors ever since, when J.j
cried:
“I have Just begun to fight!”
It was Jones’s answer <o the demands
of Capt. Pearson, commander of tho
British ship Serapls. that the American
sailor surrender the Bott Homme Rich
ard. The Richard, lashed to the Serapls
by Jones, wns in a sinking condition, but
the America*.< sailors had Just begun to
fight, and three and one-half hours after
the conflict began the Serapis struck her
colors. Tho Bon Homme Richard sunk
the next morning and John Paul Jones
sailed into a French port on the cap*
lured ship, the irambers of its crew pris
oners.
Another famous battle cry of tho navy
• was the dying injunction of Capt. James
Lawrence:
“Don’t give up th© ship!”
Capt. Lawrence, in command of the r
S. 8. Chesapeake, had encountered the [
British frigate Shannon, thirty miles off •
Boston. June 1, 1913. Lawrence fell
mortally wounded at one of the first
bread ©idea from the British warship His
dying cry was in vain.
Three months later—Sept 10. 1813. to
be exact —Commodore Oliver Hasard Ter
ry sent to General William Henry Har
rison his famous message:
”Ws have met the enemy and they are
oure."
Commodore I'erry had built a fleet of
nine vessels on Luke Erie and went out
to give battle to the British fleet near
Pul In Bay. Perry’s flagship, the Law
rence, was almost destroyed bv th? enemy i
fire. With the flag of (ho Lawrence'
wrapped around his arm. Perry rowed to '
the Niagara and from that -hiu directed]
his fleet to victory.

wan written to President Lincoln May 11. ■
1864. as his army was pursuing General
Lee's troops after the Battle of the Wild- :
erness. General Grant had begun his .
tactics of wearing out the enemy by con
stant harassing. It was nearly a year
later—April 9. 1865 that General I.ee
surrendered at Appomattox.
Meantime Admiral David Glasgow’ Far
ragut undertook with General Gordon
Granger the sea and land attack on Mo
bile. The harbor was mined, and the
Union fleet, when It entered, had Instruc
tions to keep Inside a red buoy. The
leading monitor, in her eagerness to get
at the Confederate ironclad ram Tenses- 1
see, did not heed this warning. She
struck a torpedo and sank quickly. The
flafgshlp Brooklyn, with Admiral Farra
gut lashed in the port main rigging in '
order that he would not miss one inci
dent of the battle, .stopped suddenly and
threatened to throw the whole line of bat- .
tieships entering the harbor into con- ■
fusion.
"What’s the trouble?” was shouted from
the Hartford, following the flagship.
"Torpedoes,” was the answer.
“Damn the torpedoes!” cried Admiral
Farragut from his perch on high. "Four ,
Bells! Capt. Drayton, go aheadl Jouett,
full speed!”
The fleet went ahead, and after a
fierce battle the Tennessee and other
Confederate warships surrendered. The
land forts gave up a few days later.
Late In ‘ISGt General Hood's Confederate
army tried to stop General Sherman's
march to the sea by destroying the gar
risons and lino of communications left by
Sherman north of Atlanta. Gen. French’s
divsion of General Hood’s army attack
ed Allatoona. General Corse hurried to
the rescue of the garrison Gen. French
demanded that Gen. Corse surrender.
Corse replied that the Confederates were
welcome to come and take his army if
they could. A battle ensued Meantime
General Sherman reached Kenesaw
Mountain and signalled to General Curse
eighteen miles away :
“Hold the fort, for I am coming.”
Corso replied:
"I am short part of an ear and cheek
bone but am able to whip all hell yet.”
Sherman came.
Tho Spanish-American war brought at
least one famous saying:
“You may fire when ready, Gridley.”
Uttered by Admiral George Dewey to
the Captain of his flagship, Olympia, as
it was entering Manila Bay to destroy
the Spanish fleet there, and it soon be
came a household word in this country.
Now in the great world war, with its
censorship forbidding the use of names,
stands out tho expression of the unnamed
general:
"The American flag has been forced to
retire. We are going to counter attack.”

see—about two wicks ago and so far I
stay in my tent. Please tell me now 1
can get out, because I have a nice leetie
girl; she’s coming down to sec me and
L can't get. out. TUNY.
Dear Tony.
Nut knowing the circumstances, 1
tmould advise you to see your command
ing officer - approach him like you were
old-time friends and say: Captaiix how
about letting me off. If the captain Is
a good Matured man he’ll say: "Why
sure,” And if he says no, just kid him
a little ami you’ll get out—so far out
that it will take you weeksto get back.
Al ADAM.
Dear Madam;
1 am really at a loss to know why, when
I go to dances, the girls all laugh at
rm- as though 1 was a sap. lam young,
full of pep and a good looker. What can
I do to make them stop laughing at me
and take me more seriously. HOY.
Dear Willie:
Tanla’c is very good. You can fool the
girls by bringing one up yourself —you try
it— won't allow you to. If
you get away with it, why just laugh in
their faces like this—Ha, Ila! It’s a
good game. Ask dad, he knows.
MADAM.
Dear Madam:
I'm in love with a swell dame in this
burg. She’s sixteen and I'm thirty-one.
AV ill the difference in our ages interfere
in our getting married. WORRIED.
Dear Worry;
The difference in your ages should
mean very little, especially when you
both love each othen There are lots of
men like you robbing the cradle, sso go
to It if she’s fool enough. Ridiculous.
MADAM.
Dear Madam:
Reading your articles. I wonder whether
or not you can tell me where my dius
band goes every night. He’s never In
< amp when I call and he always tells me
he is on duty.. DESERTED.
Dear Des rted:
Plant yourself on the company street
some evening right after mess and you
will locate him. Your husband loves you
but ho loves his meals better. He is
generally the last out of the mess hall,
plenty of seconds and thirds and by the
time he is ready to go. he usually beats
it down the w*y>ds for a nap I’m not
in a position to tell you what the at- (
traction is. Dis guise yourself with dark
glasses and follow him.

When you are overseas—you’ll need a Gillette
even more than you do here in camp
Trench life is harder. Shaving more difficult. A Soldier’s skin is
apt to be burned or chapped. Hot water seldom to be had.
Four years of war have done more to prove Gillette principles and
demonstrate Gillette service than fifty years of peace.
The principle of No Stropping, No Honing saves time. It saves space
and weight. It does away with strop and hone — gives the fighting man
his shaving kit in one compact unit. There is no shaving edge anywhere
so good and lasting as the edge of the Gillette Blade.
Have you seen the new Gillette Sets specially No Stropping—No Honing. When a man wants
made for the fighting man? Two of them are new Blades he canget them in any Post Exchange,
illustrated on this page. They were designed Ship's Canteen, or Y. M. C. A. Hut, here in
by members of the Gillette Organization in the America or overseas.

is up against. Our Pans Office carnes stocks—is constantly
