l'uiir-fifths of tlieie are in the Itl.tiki

that tlio actual finlitin;,' forces of
Americans now in Trance under the
I'nioti Jack is probably larger than
tile United States army, which was
actually enc;acd in hostilities in the
brief eainpalKit of the Spanish
American war.
Hundreds of Americans hnve iiiven
their lives for the cause of the allies

All have foue,hl with u pluck and
determination which have won them
universal respect and admiration.
Although not so much has been writ
ten nbout the Americans serving in
the Itritish ranks as in lceard to
their brothel's in the Trench nrmy,
British army traditions seldom coun
tenance the same enthusiastic recep
tions of individual deeds of heroism

the French and (Icrinan official re
ports. Hut the American Tommies have
helped to write some bright paes in
the history of the var in all branches
of the service the flying corps, the
medical corps, the artillery and in
fantry. The Caaadinu regiments naturally
attracted the greatest number of
Amcrieuns, inunv of the nvniils liv

broke tint. But Americans are also
scattered through the distinctlv Foo
lish battalions and sonic are found
anions the Australians, South Afri
cans and in the different staff de
partments. Many former members of
tlte United States annv and of the
crnek National (iuonl regiments ans
wer to the IliitUh loll calls, but all
hnve had to learn the new art id' mod
ern war and will lie graduated as
anions the best trained soldiers in the
world. The bulk of the Americans
being: absorbed in the various Can
adiuu battalions, have been through
some of tho hardest fighting on this
front.
Through all the vast aad wonderful
war machine built up by Great Hrit
nitt from the North sea to the front
line trenches, young Americans can
be met "doing Iheir bit" ami fighting
with willing heart and steadv brav

the uniform of the Canadian artillery.
"What part of Canada are you
from" he asked. "I.os Aiejcle,"
came the grinning reply. Correspon
ding answers could be bad from
thousand-, who hailed from ecrv see
