much the Germans dreaded the

cludes, his love of independent ad-

which were sporting rather than mill

Again, American higher officers con-
scientiously refused to eat or sleep
when an offensive was going on. and
1t was in vain hat their more ex-
perienced French comrades entreated
them to spare themselves, and to think
not of the day only. but of the NOR
row. These last statements l may
say are borne out by British officers
and British soldiers, who told me
that the great difficulty they had at
first with the American army was to
induce the men to take cover Later

solute necessity OF doing so. they did
take cover, for otherwise their losses
would have been impossibly heavy.
I have given this summary of an
account Of how the American army
appeared to an obviously friendly
Swiss critic. partly because, like every
other Swiss. he had doubtless done his
military sirvce, and consequently was
in position to judge. A good deal
has been written about America and
the Americans since the outbreak of
the war. sometimes as propaganda,
sometimes by the enemy to cause them
TO be deprecated, and sometimes. as

decision of the hustings court of Pc

Lavenstein Bros. against the Hartford
