INDIAN WARFARE
MAKES FOE SQUEAL

London, July 2O.-The following
tribute to the American fighting quail
ties appeared in the Evening News
tonight:
"The Germans are now squeallng
about the effectiveness OF the Ameri-'
can fighting. They have good rea
sons to squeal. The Americans are
fighting in the Indian fashion where
the trenches are abandoned
"The American army teaches mer
to fight in the open. to advance IN
short rushes, take cover and advance
again. This calls for discipline Of
TIE highest degree but no less for in
dividual courage and skill. The les
son was first learned from the In
dams and was adopted to modern
military needs.
North of -Thierry where
the marines hunted the Germans OUT
of their machine-gun pits, showed
how effectively this system can be
employed against foe who is school
ed differently. AS new battle lines
are created through forests and hills
we may expect to hear more of the
American style of fighting"

The maximum penetration Of our

American artillery are now bom-
harding scissors and the fighting
along the entire lire is developing in
