can staff officers, studying closely

Americans Share All.
Paris, March 2S. - The presence of
American auxiliary troops on the fight
ing line in the great battle was the
subject Of much favorable comment.
and when 1t became generally known
that wounded American officers and
men were being brought back with tho
French wounded from the region of
st. Quentin, American stock rose high.
The moral effect was considerable,
even though the supposition was that
the number OF the American troops in
line was not considerable.
The comforting thing TO the French
is that recently whenever there has
been hot lighting. the Americans have
had a share of it, even II a small one.
and have acquitted themselves credit
ably.
