YANKEE TROOPS ARE PRAISED
 BY EUROPEANS
Critics Everywhere Admire Way in Which Ameri- cans Getting into
 Fight Game.

LONDON, June 15. = European critics are all enthusiastic over the performance of the American troops under fire. It is conceded every where that they are at least the equal of any in the war, and the be- lief is becoming more or less gen. eral that they will prove superior to any.
 The London News gave voice to the general feeling at the time when Americans first went into action, and the performances since that time have served but to emphasize the sentiment. The News said:
 Bravo! The young Americans. Nothing in today's battle narrative from the front is more collaborating than the account of their fight at Cantigny. It was clean cut from beginning to end, like one of their countrymen's short stories, and the short stoy of Cantigny is going to expand into full length novel which will write the doom of the Kaiser and Kaiserism.
 We expected it. We have seen those young Americans in London and merely to glance at them was to know that they are conquerers and brothers in that great Anglo-Saxon Latin compact which will bring down diabolical Prussian idols, with its poisons and calculated infamies, tc enthrone chivalrous humanity again
 They do not swagger and they have no war illusions. They have done their first job with swift pre- cision. characteristic of the United States, and Cantigny will one day be repeated a thousandfold. On that day the Kaiser's crown will go to the Allied Museum"
