AMERICAN SOLDIERS

WILL USE VICTORY WELL. CORRESPONDENT’S LAST DISPATCH. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright; NEW YORK, October 21. In his last dispatch from the Next Guinea war front, the "New York Times” correspondent, Byron Darnton. who, it has now been revealed, met his death accidentally, summed up his personal experiences and presented conclusions. On the philosophies and post-war aims of the American soldiers, he wrote, “Victory will be well used by i the young men xvho are doing oui fighting They are thinking about the war’s end not only in terms of getting home to their wives and sweethearts but also in terms of what kind ol world we will have when peace comes. The political! who preaches normally at the end of the war will find hardheaded opposition . He will find greater love of peace than ever, coupled with a realisation that peace is not automatic, but must be secured by keeping the United States strong on sea and land. It is stirring to see this altitude in our fighting men . It makes the dust all right, the flies all right, and the heat all right. A man can see his countrymen building with blood, sweat, and toil a firm resolution that their sons shall not die under bombs, but shall have peace because they will know how to preserve the peace.
