YANKS CHANGE
OTHER ALLIES TO
SMASH FIGHTERS
Americans Given Credit for
Turning Tide,

LONDON, Aug. o-The general feel
ing here is that the importance OF the
successful new battle cannot he over
estimated. 1t is regarded as the turn.
jng point Of the years campaign. and
perhaps even the turning point OF the
whole war Tho initiative has now been
taken from the enemy, and within the
month the allies have engaged in two
important battles with conspicuous sue
cess.
II is not too much TO say that the
American army has been the chief fac
Tor In this result. The experienced mil
itary critic of the Westminster Ga
zette says only what all soldiers who
have seen American mettle put to the
test are saying, that the American
troops are equal to any in the world.
The moral effect Of their appearance in
France, even though a comparatively
small portion Of them is yet on the
fighting line, has been the transforma-
tion in the British and French armies Of
