troops, who have fought nearly all the races of the globe during this three and a half year war thus far, say they are much impressed by the American soldiers They say, how ever that the American soldiers are finely built fellows, whose we'll flt- ting uniforms and splendid equip
 ment distinguishes them from all
 the rest of the soldiers battling on the west front.
 The Americans are pictured as always ready to fight or to achieve some noble deed of valor. They are paroling day and night, and are about everywhere Looking across the parapets of trenches the German soldiers can watch their high hats which resemble so much the head gear of German colonial troops, pop ping up, often in large numbers, quite regardless of danger.
 They possess valor, If ignorance in a high degree" so the German soldiers who have met them in the open say. but they haven't yet the slightest inkling of the cruel de- l mands that this terrible warfare has developed in three years on the west front. They always advance eagerly and fearlessly, but when suddenly German fire opens upon them thelr ardor quickly cools down. They have not vet learned to stand up against artillery fire. which unfailingly caus- es great confusion in their ranks. But German soldiers don't belittle
 their American opponents. They in- stiuctively divine what Pershing's men are made of They will give the Americans credit for being skill ed and brave, sometimes even fool hardy sportsmen, but assert they must yet learn soldiers job, sucn
 as this long war has made 1t.
 American war prisoners have made a very good impression among Ger mans.
 .They don't seem to entertain any deep rooted hatred against Germany says Osborne in the Vossische Iel- tung. If you ask them why they are making war against Germany, we will always get the same answer: Because Wilson says it is neces- sary.'"
 "The enormous. influence of the Presidents personality is manifest everywhere They are full of the democratic idea that the president has been elected by them and, there fore. deserves their full confidence. They don't realize at all that Will sons is a purely autocratic policy They are always immensely astonish- ed at being treated so well when they fall into our hands, for the Entente press has been, telling har- rowing tales about the treatment or war prisoners in German hands,
 "It should be mentioned that the Americans prefer their French com rades to their English ones, and they say that on the other side there IS more interest for the French than TOT the English cause.
 American troops also prefer 10 fight in company with the French. but after their short experience at the front they already doubt the pos sibility of driving the Germans out of France. Americans will have to readjust their opinion considerably more when once again battle rages on the west front in a fury never before known to history
