Washington Sept. 5,--An American
army fighting on or around the old

as the near future Of the war Is now
analysed by Washington military eN-
perts.

say that the British and the American
allies eventually will pursue the enemy
towards Mons and will he compelled
to do there what the British did 10
the Hindenhurg line switch a Queant.
This time however, the British and
American armies of the north wall
be heavily reinforced, large by Amert-
cans. SO that there is little doubt that
the predictions Of another Waterloo,
with Americans playing great part
will be fullfiied.
II was rernen1 bered here today that
