Never Were France and Eng
land SO Close as Now.
Fortunate. Also, That Secretary
Baker Is in Zone.

t London, March 30--Alluding to
what it considers reaSsuring factors
in the fighting in France, the Times
s,ys:
The whole front of the German
attack has fallen so heavily upon the
British army that we naturally are
precccupied here with the indomita-
BILE resistance displayed by our own
regiments.
But the British army fortunately
does not stand alone. More and more
as the great battle develops the bur-
den is being shared with us by the
French forces, which are closing in
upon the right of our line More and
more also does the prospect of turn
irg a retreat into victory depend upon
the speed and spirit with which the
fresh divisions of British are able to
deliver such counter-strokes as they
began so successfully on Thursday
Every account testifies to the
amazing rapidity with which French
troops are pouring into the struggle.
This is exactly the sort of an emer-
gency in which their national charac-
teristics are always most conspicuous.
And let US add, with full knowI-
edge of the facts and in view of many
misleading rumors that there never
was moment before in the whole
war when the cooperation of the
higher commands and of the general
staff was SO nearly complete.
THE crisis of the past ten days has
served only to hasten and to crystal
lie, arrangements for the mutual sup
port under which Field Marshal Haig
and Sir Henry Wilson are working
with General Foch and General Pc
tain. They have all been in the clos
est personal touch during the present
week and in every step they have
taken, they have had the fullest sup
port of Premier Lloyd George and
Premier Clemenceau whose irrepressi-
BILE courage is a God-send to France
in this hour and to the whole alliance
Also. altho this factor is necessar-
lily of less immediate Importance, let
US pay tribute to the promptitude and
hearty good will with which the Amer
lean military authorities have met ev-
cry claim made upon them.
1T was fortunate not merely for
the allies but for the entire future of
American Intervention that the able
secretary of the American war depart
ment, Mr.. Baker, should have been in
Europe at this moment"
