U. S. NOT TO Be A
FACTOR UNTIL 1919
FRENCH GENERAL SAYS ALLIES
MUST HANG ON ALONE AN
OTHER YEAR-3,00o,0o MEN IN
FRANCE BY THAT TIME.

Paris, May France, Great Brit
ain and Italy must grit their teeth
and hang on until the spring Of
1919, because it is not until then
that America can be expected to
throw real strength into the field,
strength great enough to undertake
offensive and batter independently at
the Germans with armies the size of
those which the allies have been u.s.
ing, in the opinion of a French di-
visional general as given to the AS
ISOLATED Press. Having begun the
onslaught. fully prepared, more a
year hence. the Americans will prove
he believes. the deciding factor and
they will bring the war to a close
about the fall of 1919. The general
holds high hopes of the American
troops already in France, whom he
has seen repeatedly and at close
quarters, as the saviors of the allied
cause.
The general who wears service
stripes to show his participation in
the war since the beginning, and
three wound stripes to denote six
injuries sustained while in the front
trenches visiting and getting ac-
quainted with his men, sketched the
situation and his impression of the
Americans. Though he did not say
so categorically he gave the impress
sion that his opinion is in general
the opinion of the French military
authorities.
"The American troops" he said in
answer to a question. ARE entitled to
the highest praise for the ability
they have shown and are showing,
for the speed with which they are
learning. To me it seems as though
one of the most hopeful things about
them is the fact that while they
have supreme confidence in their
own value and ability, they are never
theless not over confident Their
leaders especially have shown and
are showing a willingness to learn.
This spirit should not be under
estimated Both the French and the
English have had to take bitter les
sons since the beginning of the war.
and at huge costs have learned
things that they now can pass along
to the Americans. 1t is a good sign
that the latter are willing to profit
by the experience.

Not long after the Spanish-Ameri-

zen, told an American officer:
About fifteen years from now my
country will start her great war.
She will be In Paris In about two
months after the commencement OF
hostilities. Her move on Paris will
be but step to her real object
the crushing OF England. Everything
will move like clockwork. We will

the connection 1t will have with your

We will put your country in Its

against the United States and re-
peatedly said, America had better

all of the difficulties that stand in

into the field quickly, and | don't
look to see them in a position to
undertake offensives and similar tell
ing operations before the spring OF
1919.
Until that time France, England
and Italy must grit their teeth and
hang on. When the time does come,
however, | feel that the Americans
will be strong enough to strike de-
cisively, and for that reason | hope
and expect that the war win be over

He laughed as the correspondent
expressed surprise that the command
er of division should be constantly
exposing himself to the dangers of
the front lines.
EVERY French general he said
with smile, goes to the front lines
as often as he can. Every general
insists that his colonies and other
staff officers visit the front, for both
they and he have the duty of becom-
ing acquainted with their men as
much as possible. and OF letting the
men become acquainted with them.
"You see, it's like this. II the sol
der sees his general at the front
and realizes that his general is quite
willing to take the same chances as
he must take. there is absolutely
nothing that the soldier will not do

JORDAN Is CROSSED
AT HISTORIC POINT
BRITISH ADVANCE OVER IT AT
SIGHT OF BAPTISM OF CHRIST
CROSSING EFFECTED UNDER
FIRE OF TURKS.

With the British Army in Palestine,
May 1T was at Mahadethadjlah,
where the baptism of Christ is said
to have taken place. that the British
army forced passage of the river
Jordan after q brisk engagement with
the Turks and a small body of Ger
mans on the night of March 81.
The crossing was attempted at
three spots. The average breadth of
the Jordan is 30 yards and even in
the driest season the water fords are
never less than three and half to
four feet deep. Both banks are lined
with a thick jungle called by the
Arabs "Ezzor," and is the haunt Of
wild boar. 1t Is traversed by very
few tracks leading to the fords.
At two of the f0rds even men on
horseback were unable to breast the
strong current, while RATS and pom
toons were swept away. The Turks,
alive to the fact that the crossing
was being attempted, set fire to
some dry scrub on their side OF the
bank which lit up the waters almost
with the brightness of daylight. re-
vealing with cruel distinctness our
men venturing from cover in the
thickets at Mahadethadjlah. There
the river has straighter run and
the current is consequently less swift.
Seven volunteers succeeded in swim
ming to the other bank with rope
by means OF which a pontoon was
pulled over, serving as ferry for
a sufficient force.
The British established a strong
bridgehead before dawn. The Turks
were not very numerous. but we're
plentifully supplied with machine
guns. while. the ground lent itself to
defense. Beyond the belt OF scrub
through which 1t was necessary TO
cut ones way was bare open space
about 500 yards wide and then
series OF lodges where the Turks
were ensconced in trenches with
perfect field for fire in front OF them.
While daylight lasted 1t was impos-
sible to cross this lane. After dusk
the British rushed the Turkish po-
sitions. A steel pontoon bridge was
constructed which was crossed most
calamity under shell fire by cavalry
which promptly made an end to the
Turkish resistance, galloping down
the machine gunners and capturing
three Maxims and 20 prisoners.
Wheeling to the left the troops
secured the opposite bank OF the
