TWO MILLION SAMMIES
! ACROSS BEFORE WINTER

7 Washington, July 24.-with prob
ably not much more than a quarter
Of a million American troops engaged
in the present battle, but with virtu-
ally million others either in France
or Fastening across the ocean. Cen
eral Foch has been able to turn the
table on the enemy and strike a blow
that has changed the whole trend of
the war.
=. Officials here, while knowing the
Americans are today only a compara-
tive small par t of the vast forces the
supreme commander Is using, realize
the fact that the American army Is
going forward in a constantly in
creasing stream, is the governing
factor in restoring the initiative to
the allied soldiers.
It is now virtually certain Gen.
eral Foch will command at least
100000 American troops before
winter.
