AS TO HOW The AMER
ICANS FIGHT
spokesman Review.)

1t is now possible to arrange an
interesting symposium of opinions
about the worth of the American SOL
diers at the front. So very much
depends on these men that for long
time the whole world was enxicus
to know whether they could really
fight. Not the least anxious was
Berlin, for good and sufficient
reasons. Berlin found out. After
German soldiers had encountered
sawed-off shotguns, which we're Per-
shing's own idea, the Berlin papers
exclaimed in horror that undoubted-
ly the next American weapons would
be the original scalping knife and
tomahawk Quite possible, but
never mind that now.
The French and English have
lately gone on record as to how
cur men impress them from a fight
ing point of view. A Red Cross
woman in Paris asked newly
wounded poilu his opinion OF the
Americans. He was taciturn
poilu, and all he said was: Ills ne
cedent pas'-they don't give ground.
That was when we were doing de-
fensive work only.
After the July attack at Hammel,
where Americans and Australians
went over together somebody put
the question to an American captain.
Fine fighters" he said, but a bit
ropgh." And in the British armies
the Australians enjoy the reputation
of being the roughest fighters on the
western front
One German intelligence officer
reported: They kill or are killed y
Not quite such fools as that, but
they do show strong aversion to
remaining as captives in the enemy $
! hands. Last week, in the heavy
fighting on the Marne, various small
groups of Americans were cut off
and captured One corporal was sent
back across the river in a small boat
/ guarded by two Germans. He rocked
the boat, drowned the Germans and
swan back to safety. Seven Others
were started along the same route
! Their commander knocked one Ger
man guard down with stick OF
wood and his men disarmed the 9th
ers and swan back under fire. Three
privates killed their captors with
bare hands. Sergeant ]. =. Brown
with II men, was cut off from the
American lines and was in a forest
occupied entirely by Germans. Later
in the day he and his II showed up
| inside their own lines with 155 pris-
oners.
The Germans disapprove of these
tactics. They are not according tc
Hoyle. And one can not blame then
for their opinion that men who figh,
so peculiarly are likely to take tc
outlandish weapons like tomahawks
