"Just the man," commented the general.  "I want you," he continued, addressing Frank, "to carry a message for me to the British commander on our right.  Our division has lost touch with him and the field telephone is not working.  Probably it has been cut by the enemy.  The message is most important and I want you to make all the speed you can. Go and get ready now and report to your captain, who will hand you the papers.  He will have a machine ready for you.  That is all."
