In some cases they were marching in double lines, taking up the road from side to side. For obvious reasons, it is inadvisable to disclose where the troops are going, where they are coming from or even the direction in which the movements are being made. It may not be many clays, however, before the United States> will know.. If is.probable that the first news will some with the report of the American forces in action, but when that may be is another subject which cannot be discussed, Whenever it is; it is certain that the troops will give a good account of themselves, for they are husky, hardy, train- ed and completely equipped and on their toes for a clash with the enemy. If this clash should be in the open the troops will like it all the better, for they say: “That’s oar game.” : All are determined to get into the fight if possible. The | correspondent saw men marching, limping along, but refusing | to drop out for fear that they might be left behind. If there | | isa single straggler in the long marching lines today he has | effectively hidden himself. +. oy While the advance of the Gérman armies in Picardy has come almost to a halt, there has been savage fighting on the extreme western edgé of the battle zone. Encounters in which large forces | have been engaged have occurred north of Moreuil, but there seems to be no décided advantage gained by’ the Teuton invaders. -They} claim to have taken heights and to have carried a wood in advance of their fine hear Moreuil, but the British say that they have driven back tHe enemy from positions they have occupied elsewhere in this sector. / : Tie: French lines-further south have stood firm against sav. age assatilts, especially in the region of Montdidier and eastward of that place along a part of the line which was subjected to a ter- RAR RRR rific strain for two days late last week.
