FRENCH LEAVE
FEWER MEN
THAN AMERICANS

London, July 26.-Comparing the
work Of the French and American
troops in the battle now going on,
the Reuters correspondent at Amer
lean headquarters writes:
The French have had four years
of hard study and the lesson most
laid to heart is the value to Frame
of live Frenchmen and dead Germans.
When sacrifices are required we ,ra
quite ready TO make them. but our
pride is to kill end pay little for kill
ing. They admire the reckless valor
of the Americans but their own
methods are somewhat slower and
more subtle. Each gets to his Oh
iective but the French leave fewer
men behind"
