LONDON, June §&—“Few com- muniques issued by the French com- mand has contained a statement more vital to the ultimate issue of the battle than those references to the soldiers of America in action,” writes the military correspondent of the Datiy Dxprese. Commenting editorially on the eit- uation, the same newspaper says: “The Germans may read their cer- tain doom in the spirit and skill of the Americans in tho fight at Neuilly. During the past week the transport of American troops across the At- lantic has been quicker than we dared to hope for. Better still, the quality of the officers and men has astounded the most competent milt- tary judges.
