Show AMERICANS BECOME GREAT WAR FACTOR (New Tort Times-Chicago Tribune Cable, Copyright, 191S.) PARIS, Sept- 8. What the American factor now means may be judged from one fact. During the month of Aust 400.000 American soldiers landed in France. This number is as nearly as possible equivalent to tho whole German 1920 class on which there is no doubt that the enemy has been very largely counting to compensate hrm for the enormous cost in man-power which the allies are causing him at present. pres-ent. The Gar man l?20 class has been in training train-ing since last March or April, and it is expected to be ready to t-ke the field at the end of this month. Reviewing ail the factors disclosed up to the present, Paris regards the fate of Germany in France as already settled. The great question is not how long will the enemy be able to hold on to the Hindenburg line or even whether he will be able to hold there at all, hut how far back the present retreat will take him. |
