The speed with which the lines have

has called for the highest praise from
the British authorities. The Ameri.
cans have been working in shifts "a

Naturally the Americans have for
long time been working under the
range of enemy artillery and more
than once they have come under
heavy shell fire. One of the most
striking sights along the front has
been that of the engineers laboring
coolly at their task while great shells
were bursting 100 yards away.
