The Time Has Come When We Must

When A General Complains Of The Morale Of His Troops, The Time Has Come To Look At His Own.

Morale Is The State Of Mind. It Is Steadfastness And Courage And Hope.

I Was Very Careful To Send Mr. Roosevelt Every Few Days A Statement Of Our Casualties. I Tried To Keep Before Him All The Time The Casualty Results Because You Get Hardened To These Things And You Have To Be Very Careful To Keep Them Always In The Forefront Of Your Mind.

The One Great Element In Continuing The Success Of An Offensive Is Maintaining The Momentum. This Was Lost Last Fall When Shortages Caused By The Limitation Of Port Facilities Made It Impossible To Get Sufficient Supplies To The Armies When They Approached The German Border.

We Are Determined That Before The Sun Sets On This Terrible Struggle, Our Flag Will Be Recognized Throughout The World As A Symbol Of Freedom On The One Hand And Of Overwhelming Force On The Other.
