the Huns. Their morale
went lower as the days crept past; so that they no longer fought with
anything of their former ferocity.

"In fact," Jack declared, "they are badly whipped, and have just found
it out."

Never would the air service boys forget the day when the news came to
hold their present position at Sedan, because an armistice that would
undoubtedly mean the ending of the war had just been signed. It was
hard to believe that the last shot had been fired, and that now must
begin the mighty task piled on Germany's back of paying for all the
mischief caused by her invading armies during those four years and more
of fighting.

In the Yankee camps the soldiers went fairly wild over the glorious
news, and already those so far removed from home began to picture their
triumphant return, with the warm welcome that must await them.

They could not foresee at that hour what duties still awaited them when
ordered forward to occupy the bridgehead at Coblenz on the Rhine, there
to stay for weary months while the Allied Council at Versailles debated
over the peace terms that Germany would have to accept.

There on the Rhine we must take our leave of Tom Raymond and Jack
Parmly, as well as of Harry Leroy, satisfied that as they had on many an
occasion proved their valor and skill as Uncle Sam's air pilots, they
would continue to serve their country faithfully to the end, even
through another war if necessary.
