his guarded remarks covered, or as to
what possibilities OF early further In
there might be.
There has been repeated official an
nounce1nents. however, that the gov
ernment Is bending every energy to
rushing men across to back up the
allied lines in France, and officers d-
rectly in charge OF the transportation
have expressed satisfaction with the
progress being made. There Is no
doubt that tho present force Of Amer
lean troops tNore represents only q
small part Of the total strength that
will be available for employment by
General Foch before the summer fight
ing ends.
There arc indications. too, that tho
