British Papers Say French
Compliment to Ameri-
cans Fully Sincere.

London, Eng, Feb. 15.-In q lead
ing article on the Americans in action
in France, the Manchester Guardian
says that more noteworthy than the
ground gained, valuable as is every
inch on this Champagne front, where
American batteries were engaged in
supporting the French raid OF We'd
nesday. is the fact that the Americans
for the first time took part in the
fighting.
There have been American casu-
alties in France before now" con-
tinues the Guardian. but they have
been in German attacks by air or by
artillery fire. This is the fiIst in
stance in which the Americans have
taken part IN a formal attack. The
French are a polite people, but for
that very reason they do not waste
compliments and their praise of the
part taken by the American heavy
guns in this action may be taken
exactly at its face value
We have persistently warned the
people not TO expect the American
assistance TO develop its full value
early, but when America does develop
her military power we place no limit
on what il can accomplish. We must
remember that the Americans are the
equal OF the Germans in pride and
energy and their superiors in popula-
ton. material resources and mother
wit"

Mr.. Gonzalez said. Nevertheless
there are many poor people who can
not buy food because OF the high
prices. We are anxious to take steps
to prevent anything like a food fam

like IT will happen
