AMERICANS AMAZE ALLIES.

The fury and enthusiastic zeal with
which the Americans go into battle on
the Belgian front amaze and cheer
their allies. All stories that come from
the other side are the same-the Amer
leans fight with courage and terrific
energy, and even with ferocity. They
always are fighting. An American SER
geant was stunned by a blow from a
rifle and fell on the field. A German
seized him as a prisoner, and started
to drag him to the rear. The Ameri-
can recovered his senses, arose to his
feet and smote his captor a Knockout
blow on the jaw with his fist, and then
returned to his comrades and resumed
fighting. 'I did not want to be the
first American captured in this fight, !"
said the sergeant. This is the spirit
that animates the troops from his land
around Chateau-Thierry, says New
York Morning Telegraph. They sang
Yankee Doodle" as they charged their
enemies, and drove them back with
bayonets or left them dead on the
field. Two hundred of the Huns were
captured by the Americans. The rea-
son for this effective work of the
Americans is plain. They come to the
combat body of picked men, well fed,
well trained, clear headed and strong
of body. They have not been worn by
long fighting. As the war continues
and fresh troops join those now en-
gagged in the fight the Americans will
do better; and it will not be long be-
fore they will be doing as much of the
fighting as either of their greatest al
lies. The tide of war changed when
the Americans took hand in it.
