Show FRENCHMAN LAUDS AMERICANS. Yankee Dash and High Courage Finest Thing of Battle. Paris. "Tile finest thing of the combat com-bat was the dash of the Americans," writes Lieutenant Entraygues, the special spe-cial correspondent at the front for the Temps. "It was a fine thing to see these grand fellows, with their tunics thrown oft' and their shirt sleeves rolled up above their elbows, wading the rivers with the water to their shoulders aud throwing themselves on the Boche like bulldogs. "Any o'ne who has seen such a sight knows what the American army is good for, henceforth and to the end of the war. At the sight of these men, magnificent in their youth, physical force, good temper aud dash, the Germans fled 'with every leg' or surrendered sur-rendered without awaiting the order to throw away their arms and take off their suspenders, which is the first thing a prisoner, is told to do in order that he may be compelled to keep his hands employed and out of mischief. "The Germans hurried toward our lines gripping their trousers, haggard and mad with terror." |
