EN[nY''S ESTIMATE
Of AMERICANS
Huns Reluctantly Concede Our Men
are Hard Crowd to
Handle
Associated Press

With the American Army, France,
July 9.-An indication of what the
German army thinks of the fighting
ability of the Americans. is given by
a copy of an intelligence report of the
(deleted) German army, which has
just been obtained. The report, de-
scribing the fighting on the Marne re-
fers to the (deleted) American divis-
ion as very good one. almost an at
tacking DIVISION" and adds that the
nerves of the Americans have not yet
been shaken.
The German fire, the report says,
had been unable to affect the morale
of the Americans. who only lacked the
necessary instructions to make them
serious adversaries, it says.
Prisoners taken by the Germans,
the report stated, were physically
well built and were aged from eight
cen to twenty-eight. Their character
istic utterance is quoted as 1--WE kill
or are killed"
The report adds that it is impossi-
BILE to obtain military information
from the Americans and that they
rarely will indicate the positions they
occupied in the line.
In general, the report declares, the
Americans make good impression.
For the moment they consider their
part in the war as that of .sbig broth
ers" who had come to Europe to as
sist their "little brothers" and the
latters mothers and sisters, but also
declare that they had come overseas
to fight for their country.
Most of the Americans, the docu-
ment adds, are foreign in extraction;
"demi- Americans" it calls them, but
it admits that their spirit and fighting
qualities are remarkable.

GERS are considering a move to take
up civilian relief work in this Sec
ton. Officials became interested in
the work when it was described in
detail yesterday by Miss Blanton,
field director of civilian relief for
the Red Cross in Pennsylvania. Miss
Blanton talked before the eXecu-
tive committee, auxiliary chairmen
and members of the civilian relief
committee of the local organization.
The civilian relief expert urged
that all details of insurance and al.
lotments be made with the enlisted
men and the selected men while they
are still at their homes, thus elimi-
mating much red tape and corre-
spondence.
Miss Blanton also spoke of the
opportunities for the Red Cross to
promote the best social conditions
among the families of soldiers so
that the Army morale is beneficial
through the fighting mans assur-
ance of his peoples welfare.

POLICE POWERS
No Bar to Naming Women as
Special Officers, Governor
Is Informed Today

Laws of Pennsylvania do not pre-
vent appointment of a woman as a
special officer by the Governor, ac-
cording to an opinion just rendered
to Governor Brumbaugh by William
81. Keller. first. deputy attorney gen.
eral. in the application of the Penn
sylvania Railroad for appointment of
Mrs. Kate A. Campbell as a special
police officer. Mr.. Keller says: "a
woman could serve in such a capacity
in connection with railroad work with
advantage to all interested parties"
and says also that it is the judgment
of the legal department that her
duties should be directed especially to
work in and about stations, for the
protection of women and children
travelling"
Mr.. Keller says further: THAT such
an appointment has not previously
been asked for a woman and that none
has previously been granted does mot
interfere with your right to make the
appointment if you deem the appli-
cant proper person and the purpose
of her appointment a desirable one"
