The King showed once again his happy knack of doing

the right thing at the right time and in the right way when at the end of last week he telegraphed the friendly greetings of the entire British nation to President Wilson, on the anniversary of the United States' entry into " this war for the safeguarding of international right and justice." The King acknowledged the value to the French and British troops, " at this critical hour," of the thought that America is putting forth every effort to throw her supreme force into the struggle, and that American troops are pouring in ever-increasing numbers into France. " The gallant deeds of Americans on land and sea have already indicated to the enemy that his hope is vain." The President's reply was a renewal of his country's pledge to the Allies.
