FRANCE’S DEBT OF GRATITUDE
London, -’August 28
General Joffre, in a message to General French, said the British army had not hesitated to throw their whole strength against the forces having a great numerical superiority. By so doing they had contributed in the most effective maimer to securing the left flank. To the French army it had exhibited devotion, energy, and perseverance which would he shown again to-morrow, and make a certain triumph in the common cause. The French would never forget the service rendered. The French army was inspired by the same spirit of self-sacri-fice and determination to conquer and make good its debt of gratitude to Great Britain in the battles of the near future.
