Correspondent Writes
Paper That Attacks by US.
Troops We're RepuIsed
Ru lAsrncinted Prcts

Amsterdam, Tuesday, March 26.-
American troops have taken part in
counterattacks against the German
front near La Fere, writes the mill
tary correspondent of the Vorwaerts,
who says the attacks were repulsed.
The correspondent adds:
After the first surprise the enemy
pressure along the entire front nat
urally is growing stronger. Threat
ening catastrophe compels the enemy
to reckless action. South of the
break through front he, therefore.
is collecting strong reserves intend
ed for a flank assault on our at
tacking army.
ATTACKS of combined Allied forces
yesterday against the pivot of the
German attacking front near La Fere
were particularly heavy. These
counterattacks did not find us un-
prepared. 1t testifies to the superior
foresight of the German command
that these attacks, in which Amer
lean troops certainly participated
only symbolically, were not only
beaten off. but were thrown back on
the Disc canal by an energetic
blow"

Correspondents Mention
Americans in Action;
None as Prisoners
BY Associated press

Amsterdam, March 27.--The par.
reported to have been played by
American troops in the attempted
relief OF the British flank near La
Fere is referred to briefly by most of
the German war correspondents. but
so far no mention has been made of
the presence of Americans among
the prisoners.
Wilhelm Hoeler, of the Berlin
Tageblatt, says the Americans now
have an opportunity to find out what
war really means. The Deutschc
Tages Zeitung says the fact that tho
Americans got "a severe 1eseson" is
especially gratifying to U.S."
Another correspondent says the
undoubted bravery of the Americans
proved no match for the furor Teu-
tonicus.

ALLIED A|RMEN ARE WORRYING
 HUN OFFICERS

BRITISH AIR FORCE HEAD QUARTERS IN FRANCE. Aug. l5.- There have been many signs recently of extreme uneasiness by the German high command regarding the increas- ing asCcndancy of the allied airmen on the western front. This has been especially evident since the Ameri. can airmen have begun to appear in force and have proved themselves of the same mcttle as the French and British nicrs
 It has become commonplace among British airm"n that their op- pouonts will not fac" combat in the air unless in strength of three or four to one, and German prisoners have told of German airm.u being nu0i he'd Iy their Gtgh' commanders for re- turning to their airdromes still laden with bombs and ammunition which they had been ordered to drop over the British lines 1t is becoming in crcasingly hard to lind German air man over the allied side of the lines in the daytime. as is proved by the Germans own admission that when they do manage to bring down an allied machine it is almost always over their own territory.
 Perhaps the most striking evidence of German official anxiety regarding the allied superiority in the air is to be found in the official German wire native and rarely accurate, has of late been singularly wild and full of tic- In al. effort to CountcraCt the dcprcss- ing effect of the real facts Of the sit make the widest statements. border ing almost on humor.
 Thus a recent copy of the German wireless report says. Superior meth ods of flying and greater skill have secured for the German air force sue ccsses on scale such as was never known before" The same statement refers in glowing terms to the "rcck- loss attacking spirit" of the pilots of the German chasing planes-a phrase which provoked much mcrriment among British. French and American airmcn, who of late have found that even one of the reconnaissance ma chimes can rely on putting to flight any German machine which is not accompanied by three or four of it's own kind.
 If Germany is really pleased with her air record for the past few months" remarked a British squad ron leader to the correspondent, there is no reason for us to com plain, We ask nothing better than that Germany should go on having the same kind of success in future months"
 He took as an example the report for May, which lay open on his desk This report" he explained, deals with the British air fighting alone, and has no reference to the fine air work of the French, Italians and Amer jeans. During the month the British brought down 39S German machines in aerial combat, and 20 by fire from the ground, while 100 more were driven down out of control and prob ably destroyed. During the same pc riod loS British machines failed to return to their airdromes"
