Paris Correspondence of the AS
ISOLATED Press -France, Great Brit
ain and Italy must grit their teeth
and hang on until the spring Of
1919, because it is not until then
that America can be expected to
throw real strength into the field,
strength great enough to undertake
offensives and batter independently
at the Germans with armies the size
of those which the Allies have been
using. In the opinion~of French di-
visional general as given to the AS
ISOLATED Press. Having begun the on
slaught, 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 saviors Of the Allied
cause.
The general, who wears service
stripes to show his participation in
the war since the beginning, and
three wound stripes to denote six in
juries sustained while in the front
trenches visiting and getting ac-
quainted with his men, sketched the
situation and his impression Of the
Americans. Though he did not say
go cate;;orice- ly he gave the impress
sion tina, his opinion is in general
the opinion of the French military
authorities.
"The American troops" he said in
answer TO question, ARE entitled
to the highest praise for the ability
they have shown and are showing
| for tie srecl with which they are
learning To me it seems as though
one OF the most hopeful things about
them is the fact that, while they
have supreme confidence in their
own value ana ability, they are new
ertheless not overconfident. Their
leaders especially have shown and
are showing willingness to learn.
"This spirit should not be under.
estimated. Both the French and the
English have had to take bitter les
sons since the beginning of the war
and at huge costs have learned
things that they now can pass along
| to the Americans. IL is gOOd SlSI
that the latter are willing to profit
by thu experience.
II haven't any illusions that the
Americans are going to be able tc
get into full action this spring, az
was so heralded last year. I know
and appreciate all the difficulties
that stand in the way of their put
ting big army into the field quick
iy, and I don't look to see them in {
position to undertake offensives ant
similar telling operations before thu
spring Of 1919.
Until that time, France, England
and Italy must grit their teeth ant
hang on. When the time does come
however, I feel sure, the Americans
will be strong enough to strike de
cisiyely, and for that reason hop'
and expect the war will be oyer u
the fall Of next year.

TREASURY NOTES POPULAR.
Issue of $500, 100000 in Certificates
OverSubScribed.


The issue of 100000 of
treasury certificates for which sub
scriptions closed on March 5, were
oversubscribed, Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo has announced.
This issue was the first in the series
to be offered in anticipation Of the
third Liberty Loan, which bore in
terest of y per cent. 1t marks the
raising of one-third of the $4,000
100000 which Secretary McAdoo de-
sires the banks of the country to
raise through setting aside OF part
of the resources, before the next loan
is launched.
The Philadelphia federal reserve
district was the only one of the
twelve which failed to subscribe the
amount allotted by the Treasury De-
partment. In the final allotment OF
the certificates received, Philadel-
phia was $7,000,0O0 short of its
quota of S40,000,000.
1T was necessary to reject late
subscriptions in several districts,
Secretary McAdoo said, in announc-
ing the oversubscription of the issue.
Larger subscriptions of the New
York banks, which were called upon
to take so much more than their
share of the preceding issue, were
scaled in order to enable allotment
in full to be made to other subscrib-
ers. The tentative New York quota
of s194, 100000 was largely in ex-
cess of it's quota on the basis of the
resources of the New York district,
and it is source of particular graf
ification that the subscriptions i'll
other districts have shown such sub
stantial improvement. This means a
healthy distribution of the certifi-
Gates, which will strengthen the
whole financial position.
A list of the tentative quota by
districts and list of the subscrip-
tons allotted follows:

Several conferences have been
held lately between the motor manu-
facturers and the War Industries
Board at Washington with the OBJ
ject of arriving at definite basis of
curtailment The suggestion that 1T
should be cut to so per cent or more
was regarded as too drastic by the
manufacturers, in view of the essen
tial needs of the motor industry to
the country and the large demands
being made by the government and
the allied nations for motor trucks
and other vehicles for war transpor-
tation.
Hugh Chalmers, vice-president Of
the National Chamber, presided, and
at the close of the meeting he stated
that the voluntary 80 per cent cur
tailment was entirely satisfactory to
the War Industries Board and the
Fuel Administration. The National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce is
composed of lit motor manufactur-
ers, and nearly all of the large plants
were represented at the meeting.

Former Surgeon General Receives
Letter of Praise Upon Retirement.

The letter written by Secretary Of
War Baker to Maj. Gen. W. c. Cor
gas. former Surgeon General OF the
army, upon the occasion of his re-
urement from active duty. was made
public today. Seldom has an officer
OF the American army received a
finer appreciation of service well
done as is contained in the letter
penned by Mr.. Baker.
In part, the letter says:
Your official term as Surgeon Cen
eral OF the army having expired,
beg leave TO express to you the ap-
probation of the army and the coun-
try for the distinguished services
which you have rendered during your
long and brilliant career as a medical
officer. Even the gracious modesty
which is, part of your habit of
thought cannot keep you from realiz-
ing that your career has been one of
brilliant distinction, and that the
medical department of the army has
Drotited from your services, as II has
been honored by your deservedly high
reputation. The operation of law has
terminated your period Of active
service, except for the emergency
work which you are now doing un-
der my direction, but il will be a
source OF satisfaction to me and a
comfort to the people of the country
to realize that your interest will con-
tinue in the army and in the great
scientific researches i'm which your
life has been engaged"
