GREAT ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
Miles of Motor Trucks Loaded With Americans Rushing Up Reserves Offered By General Pershing-
 All Men Are Working Hard.
With the American Army in France.

With the American Army in France. All the American troops have been turned over to the allies to use as they see fit. American troops may soon be fighting side by side with the French and British in the battle raging in northern France.
 It Is enough to say that great ac- tiyity of many sorts is in progress in the entire American zone. Miles of motor trucks loaded with Ameri- cans have passed through the towns, some going in one direction, some in another Through driving rain the motor trucks pioughed their way along muddy roads, the Americans singing. Many of the trucks had American flags fastened to their tail boards.
 On other roads mile after mile of marching Americans splashed through the mud which came over their an kles. The horses were steaming from the work they had to do. All the men are working as hard as possible, with the realization that they are to be of service in the common cause and used in the present conflict.
 Out on the open roads the men fn the camions sang everything from The Battle Hymn of the Republic" to "Tipperary." They exhibited the greatest enthusiasm for the work taey have in hand and seemed to be anx- ious to get it started.
 Frequently during the day heavy motor trucks skidded from the mud dy roads into ditches, but they were quickly and literally picked up by as many Americans as could get a hand on them, and set back on the road and started again toward their desti- nation. A little thing like lifting the end of fve-ton motor truck from a ditch means nothing to Americans who are in a hurry to get into the fight.
