With the American Armies In
France, March 6.-The wonderful
efficiency of the American arti-
Iery was demonstrated yesterday.
1t is far superior to that of the
Germans who are along the Amer
lean front. A bombardment by the
Americans began before daylight
yesterday morning: 1t was the
most wonderful sight | ever be-
held. The darkness was suddenly
lighted up by the flare of the ex-
ploding powder, and the deafen-
ing roar came the next instant.
Fully thirty-five minutes elapsed
before the Germans got ready to
reply. The German signal rockets
could be seen here and there. The
American bombardment was kept
up during the whole day, with a
brief interruption, caused by the
heavy snowfall. The havoc among
the German positions must have
been great.

Der among their soldiers many men who have, after several years of ser vice, developed remarkable physical power and endurance and from these there could be selected performers whose ability on track and field would undoubtedly prove surprise to other competitors.
 Under certain conditions such meet if it eventuates, might prove wartime substitute for the Olympic games which were scheduled to be held in Berlin during the summer or 1916. The war naturally side-tracked all possibility of these games and there has not been a meeting of the International Olympic Games Com mittee for many months. At the last conference here were tentalvc re- quests for the privilege of holding the games in 1920 from Cuba, Belgium and Scandinavian countries.
 Baseball is no longer the novelty to Englishmen that it was a few years ago but it was only recently that the natives had an opportunity to witness the American national game staged amid the proper sur roundings Major League clubs have toured England in the past and play ed the game with all the skill for which the players are noted but the final touch was always lacking for there were few, if any, real Amerl- can baseball fans to supply the natur- al background for the sport.
 With thousands of United States soldiers and sailors now quartcred m England, this deficiency has been remedied and the Englishman has seen the fan as we'll as the player The result, as may be imagined, was somewhat of shock to the stald Britisher and the newspaper reports elaborated upon the feature.

American League, composed of three United States Army; one Navy club and four Canadian teams, Lloyd's Weekly News published the follow ing:
 "We saw a little of Americas riot ous enthusiasm for baseball at the Arsenal football ground yesterday, when after about three hours play, the United States Army team beat Navy team by seven runs to six. From the moment when Admiral Sims, commander-in-chief of the American Navy in European waters, and General Riddle, the American c. O. C.. in England, started the game with friendly throw, there was scarcely break in nerve-disturbing hubbub. To the philosophical Eng lishman who takes his sport calmly it was all very bewildering, and he must have been thankful that there were not more than about 4,000 people present. In this sense baseball is an acquired taste, and perhaps when we become more accustomed to it we shall regard this enthusiasm" as an essential quality.
 Yesterday it seemed as if these 4,000 people made more noise than we hear from 100000 people on Cup Final day at the Crystal Palace. The crowd were part of the game. Every sailor in his picturesque white-hat it as his right to shout his instruc- 1t as his right to shoht his instruc tions to the men on the field. The players themselves kept up a running comment, and there was also the loud voice of the umpire proelaiming the "balls" and the strikes"
 The play was good, and the finish close to exciting, albeit we had to wait for half an hour before run was scored. Then the Army went ahead with three in their third in nings and one in their fourth. But at the end of the eighth inning the score was level at five all. When the Navy obtained the lead in what would or dinarily have been the final innings it appeared as if they were going to snatch win, but after very keen play the Army squared at six all.
 "There is never a draw at baseball, extra innings being played until winning run is obtained by either side So the match was continued, and at the eleventh attempt the Army won."
