Dispatch Of a Half Million
American Soldiers to
France Called Wonderful
Achievement.
(By Associated Press)


LONDON. May 11.-Secretary Bak-
er's statement that more than 100000
men are now in France is given much
prominence by the press and cordially
commented upon. The Daily Tele-
graph describes Americas effort as a
wonderful feat apart from other vast
work Of its war organization. 1t re-
calls the German sneers at American
efforts and says that when Secretary
Bakers announcement leaks out in
Germany the public there will realize
in this as in many other matters, that
they have been grossly deceived by
their rulers.
The Daily Mail says that If anything
is needed to add to the heartiness of
the greeting awaiting the American
troops in London today it is supplied
by Secretary Bakers announcement.
The dispatch Of half million men is
really a great achievement, the Mail
says and adds:
America has had immense and un-
looked for difficulties to contend with.
She hasn't overcome all of them, but
is fast getting the better OF them.
There Is very much to be done be-
fore Americas weight Is fully felt, but
the government and people Of the
United States are sparing nothing that
will enable them to do it,"
