HOW THE AMERICANS WILL FIGHT

NO MERCY FOE HUN BRUTES,

Reuters correspondent at American headquarters says that the plain facts aro that in tho past months fighting, whorever tho Germans met the Americans, the Germans woro beaten, paying moro dearly for defeat than tho Americans paid for victory. Tho Americans resemble our Dominion soldiers moro than the British-born. They aro not going to deal lightly with unsoldierly conduct, they aro not easily going to forgive breaches of humanity. If forced to see red it will ho some t-imo before they notice any other colour. They will linvc no mercy on men who do not fight straight, and' will avenge comrades slain by treachery, to the uttermost platoon they can lay hands on. The Germans will dislike them as much as they dislike the Canadians, Australians, and South Africans, and 1 think a little more. The American army includes many of German names and ancestry. A company of these marching to the front met some German prisoners, whom tho Americans nssailcd trenchantly and abusively in tho German language for their obedience to such a misconceived hound as the Kaiser, for making themselves the scum of the earth by their fighting methods, so that their American relatives had to come 1000 miles to wipe them out. The prisoners were too amazed to reply.
