779 | "A jolly book . . . truly one of the best that has yet come down war's grim pike." -- New York Post. | |
780 | "Honest from first to last. . . . Resembles 'Innocents Abroad' in scheme and laughter ... a vivid picture of Europe at this hour. Should be thrice blessed, for man and book light up a world in the gloom of war." -- New York Sun. | |
781 | "A unique chronicle, genuine and sincere." -- New York Times. | |
782 | Here is a book of truth and humor. One of the first stories by an American that tell what America has done and is doing "over there." It is a tale such as Mark Twain would have written had he lived to do his bit in France. | |
783 | Two "short, fat, bald, middle-aged, inland Americans" cross over to France with commissions from the Red Cross. Their experiences are told in a bubbling humor that is irresistible. The sober common sense and the information about the work going on in France -- the way our men take hold and the French respond -- go to make this the book all Americans have long been waiting for. | |
784 | The inimitable sketches of Tony Sarg, distributed throughout, lend a clever, human atmosphere to the text. | |
