KING GEORGE'S TRIBUTE
WE CANNOT LOSE THE WAR
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received August 31, 9.20 a.m.
NEW YORK, August 29
The Canadians editors have arrived, after visiting 1 England and the West front. They were specially impressed with their visit to the King, who was personally familiar with the deeds of the Dominion soldiers at the front, and expressed the Empire's debt to the colonies.
The New York Times quoted the editors as saying that His Majesty told them —"The Americans are wonderful. It is an inspiration and an earnest of victory simply to look at them; their great -height and perfect physique and fitness, their fresh young faces and their boundless enthusiasm are very stimulating to us, who have endured four years of the brunt and horror of war. What the Americans have really done for us is best expressed in their own idiom, they have 'put pep. into us,' they have given to us and the French of their 'pep.' and we know we cannot lose the war."
