Grew some Sights of Battle Fail to Shake Nerves of
 Tanks.
QUICKLY ADAPT THEMSELVES
Admiration of French and British Vet. erans Is Aroused by Conduct of Americans on Bloody Bat
 tefields of France.

With the American Army.-The cal lousness and steady nerves of fresh American troops in recent advances have gladdened the hearts of veteran British and French who have observed them, as well as filled with pride their own officers.
 The horror of warfare is more ap- parent during an offensive when an army is advancing than at any other time; even during a defensive action in retreat. Attacking troops advance over the enemy's positions. dotted with dead and dying, then dig in and fight among the eorpses and maimed. Often In counter-attack they are temporari- iy thrust back few yards, and there dig in and fight again, this time among the bodies of their own fallen com- radeS.
 When their advance becomes deeper and the enemy's retreat more general, as in Von Boehm's retirement from the Marne to the Vesle, the terrain be- comes even more ghastly. A wide belt of country is filtered with dead men and dead horses. The advancing army, eager to maintain contact with the enemy at all times, has no time to bury or burn these eorpses, respee- lively. The supporting troops follow ing up the advance guards must live and eat among these grewsome sights.
 Never Feased Them.
 Fresh, untried Americans, who had not seen the frightfulness of war, al- though they had been trained in It's artifice and had been in the line in quiet sectors, traversed the ghastly country like veterans. never turning a hair at the sight of dead, friends or foes, even when they came upon such sights as Reddy farm. Bellevue farm, Cierges, Seringes ct Nesles and Sergy.
 In these places, particularly the first two mentioned, the bodies of the Prussian Guardsmen were literally lying in heaps, for these picked troops
