President c. II. Markham, OF the

to Secretary Dalton Of the Hopkins

port circulated here to the effect that

whereby the tracks Of the Illinois
Central from Hopkinsville to Prince
ton were TO be leased to the Ten
nessee Central and operated by that
road. President Markham not only
denies that any such deal is in con-
temptation but that II has even been
suggested by accredited representa-
tives OF either road.

Who Now Hold Three Of the
Most Important French
Sectors.
ARE EAGER TO FIGHT
Huns In Their Threatened
Big Push Will Find
Them Ready.

American troops in France now are
in battle ~ three sectors-on their
own line east Of ST. Mihiel and with
tie French in Champagne and on one
OF the most famous battle fronts in
the world, where ruined villages and
the devastated country generally tell
the tale Of hard-fought battle when
the Germans pushed forward their
line and ultimately were driven back
by the French.
As everywhere the Americans are
proving themselves fighters Of the
highest caliber, winning encomiums
from high French officers for their
business-hke methods of warfare and
Especially their skill in the use of
artillery. Already the men are vet
Grams, for nothing the Germans have
in stock remains to be shown them,
except a great mass attack. Thus far
Everything that has been tried by the
enemy against them has been dis
counted, and in some instances doubly
discounted.
Stories from the front tell Of the
intrepidity of the men in trench raid
ing operations, Of their coolness under
fire and in returning FIRE, the accu-
racy OF aim Of the gunners and the
intense watchfulness at observation
posts to see that the enemy obtains no
undue advantage in a surprise attack.
The only criticism thus far heard re-
garding the Americans is their desire
to be up and at the enemy. Like their
brothers Of the north-the Canadians
they are hard to hold in restraint.
As one distinguished French officer
expressed H. They are too anxious
to get at grips with the enemy"
