"To the French armies:
"During the long months you have

during these four years by our coun

"Tomorrow, In order tetter to dic

so dear to us you will march as lib

which are the necessary guarantee

"France has suffered In her ravag

having vanquished your' adversary
by force of arms, how to impress
him further by the dignity of your

In fighting.
"I address a fond and affectionate
greeting to our dead whose sacrifices
gave us the victory. And I send a
message of salutation, full of sad af

would end In a victory for France
and her allies. This quaint conceit
grew out of the fact that the statue
was dislodged by German shell fire
from Its perch on the tower of the
church at Albert during the first
mad rush of the Huns thru France in
19M. The base of the statue was so
shattered that It hung over the main
road from Amiens to Bapaume which
passed Ihe walls of the church.
The stalue remained In that
strange poise after the Huns had
been rolled back by the battle of the
Marne. An effort was made to brace
the statue in Its recumbent position
so that It could not fall until the
tower Itself gave way.
When the Hrltlsh line was driven
back In March last the Hun again en
tered Albert and when the Germans
retired at the beginning of the allicJ
offensive tho tower with Its statue
had fallen. This curiously, marked
the high tide of German Invasion.
From that day on the Hun hordes
war pressed back. The people of
Albert believe the luck of the Ger
mans deserted them when the Virgin
of Albert fell.
