Scots Never Received Such Perfect Assistance Says Commander
 of Divisions.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-General March, chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, read cablegram today, citing an order issued by the com mander of the Scottish divisions whose advance in the recent fighting was supported by the fire of the American batteries.
 Unstinted praise was given by the Scottosh commander to the ar tillery brigade of the First American Regular Division, through whose assistance the troops under his com mand were enabled to advance to the attack. He stated that the Scots had never before received such perfect assistance and that he knew and realized fully at the time such assistance was proffered, that the Americans were under a very severe strain and had suffered severe casualties.
 The fire from the heavy American guns, which were handled perfectly, enabled the Scots to accomplish an almost impossible task.
