FROM GENERAL MAURICE.
PRAISE: OF AMERICANS,
[FER PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT.j
(Received This !)nv at 11.2 d. a.m.) LONDON, July 31.
General -Maurice says it- was never a question of pinching of Germans in the Marne salient, or the Allies making a large capture of prisoners. The greatest German difficulty had been a breakdown of communications, and the Allied pressure not allowing the relief for the exhausted troops; also the dash and energy of the Americans had been the greatest factor. While the other armies were all more or less weary and a high proportion lads or middle-aged men, tho Americans were composed, of the pick of their manhood of a great nation. It is doubtful whether the ouemy has yet got completed a defensive line on the Ardre and the Veslo rivers. He is still trying to gain time, hence the sacrifices of men in counter-attacks.
