s was continued for many days thereafter. The
Allies were elated and the Germans correspondingly depressed. Their
boasted drive had been held back, and now they themselves were the
pursued, with the Allies, flushed with victory, close upon their heels.
The Army Boys were in their element, and they fought with a dash and
spirit that they had never surpassed. Other volumes of this series
will tell of the thrilling exploits, with the tanks and otherwise, by
which they upheld the honor and glory of the Stars and Stripes.
"Well," said Frank one evening, after a day crowded with splendid
fighting, "we've put a dent in the Kaiser's helmet."
"Yes," grinned Bart, as he wiped his glowing face. "Considering that
we're green troops that were going to run like sheep before the
Prussian Guards, we haven't done so badly."
"I guess the folks at home aren't kicking," remarked Tom. "They told
us to come over here and clean up, and so far we've been obeying
orders."
"We've held back the German drive," put in Billy, "but that's just the
beginning. Now we've got to tackle another job. We've got to drive
the Hun out of France----"
"And out of Belgium," added Tom.
"And back to the Rhine," chimed in Bart.
"Get it right, you boobs," laughed Frank. "Straight back to Berlin!"
