French Rejoice; Americans in Line.
Americans were sent to the big front
not long after the battle began. Off

made. Publication of the fact caused
a feeling Of exultation to sweep over
France. Everywhere one could hear
the French saying:
america is now in the line 20
Americans had been in the front line
long before that, but not in the front
line of the biggest battle of the war.
The French newspapers commented
widely on the matter and later gave
great prominence to the statement of
General Pershing that anything Amer
lea has is at the disposal of France
for what use she wishes to make of it.
This was regarded by France as the
most generous and patriotic offer ever
made by one nation to another. The
people of France are overjoyed They

Says French Leader

PARIS. Jan. so (by mail France,
Great Britain and Italy must grit their
teeth and hang on until the spring Of
1919, because il is not until then that
America can be expected TO throw real
strength into the field. strength great
enough to undertake oifensivcs and bat
ter independently at the Germans with
armies the size of those which the AL
lies have been using, in the opinion of
a French divisional general as given to
The Associated Press.
Having begun the onslaught, fully
prepared more than a year hence, the
Americans will prove, he believes. the
deciding factor, and they will bring
the war TO its close about the fall Of
1919. The general holds high hopes OF
the American troops already in France
whom he has seen repeatedly and at
close quarters, as the savors of the AL
lied cause.
He gave the impression that his opn-
ion was shared generally by the French
military authorities.
"'Thc American troops" he said in
answer to a question, "are entitled tC
the highest praise for the ability they
have shown and are showing. for The

mated Both the French and the Eng

"Until that time France, England anC

When the time comes, however, I feel
sure the Americans will be strong
enough to strike decisively, and for
that reason hope and expect that the
war viii be over in the fall of next
