| day.
None to Be Withdrawn,
| However, officials pointed out here
| today that it must not be assumed that
| the American forces now operating
with the French in Flanders, near
Verdun, Toul and in Lorraine, will be
| withdrawn. Nothing of the sort is
contemplated. These forces will con-
tinue to perform the task set for them
and they will be supported by trained
| American reserves now on the scene.
| Gen. Foch, as a matter of fact, has a
| reserve Of some 100000 men who have
| not been thrown into action. They are
| held. according to official advices re-
| ceived here, at points where they can
| be utilized when needed should the
German assault become a menace any
where. 1t was these forces that 1t had
been assumed would be used for the
counter offensive which now is be-
lieved to have been postponed for
short time.
Fight as American Unit.
American army officers have never
taken too hopefully to the suggestion
that the American troops be brigaded
with British and French, as they fear
this would make them lose their iden-
tlty. However, 1t is now assured that
they will continue to be so brigaded
only for training. purposes, and that
when the great force now being massed
across the water is ready for action
and is self supporting, 1t will be or
ganized as American fighting armies
under lieutenant generals and all un-
der the supreme command OF Gen.
Pershing.
At the present time Great Britain
has undertaken to maintain 40 per
cent. of the American forces sent over
seas from her reserve supplies. this
country has to replenish the used sup
plies when the great troop movement
is ended and the transport fleet gets
back to cargo carrying basis.
krupp Guns Out -Speeded.
Meanwhile, the American heavy ar
tilery is declared to be doing excel |
lent work on the other side. Advices |
reaching here today confirm the re-
port, carried exclusively in the Inter- !
national News Service Washington |
dispatches last Thursday, that Yankee !
artilleryman had surprise for the |
Germans. 1t now is admitted that |
American heavy guns--the nature can
not yet be revealed-are wrecking the |
German supply lines at a dozen points
on the western front. These guns are
on great steel railway cars
braced and can be rushed
from one point to another with the
utmost dispatch. And ordnance off,
cials who know what is going on, de-
clared today that only a small begin
ming has been made. and that there
are other surprises in store for the
Hun which will show him that his
boasted Krupp and Skolda cannon not
only can be outranged, but out
speeded.
