THE SAMMIES.
THEIR QUALITY PROVED
An indication of what the German army thinks of the fighting ability of the’Araericans is given by a. copy of an intelligence report of the German Army which has just been obtained (says a correspondent with the American army in France on July Bth). The report, describing the fighting on the Marne, refers to the American division as a good one, “almost an attacking division,” and adds, that the nerves of the Americans have not yet been shaken. The German fix'e, the report says, had been unable to effect the morale of the Americans, who only lacked the necessary instructions to make them serious adversaries. Prisoners taken by the Germans, (he report states, were physically well built, and were aged from 18,to 22 years. Their characteristic utterance is quoted as “We kill or arckilled.” The report adds that it is impossible to obtain military information from the Americans, and that they rarely will indicate the positions they occupied in the line. In general, the report declares, the Americans make a good impression. For the moment they continue to consider their part in the war as that of “big brothers” who have come to Europe to assist “little brothers” and the latter’s mothers and sisters, but also declare that they have come overseas to light for their country. Most of the Americans, the document adds, are of foreign extraction, “demi-Americans,” it calls them, but it admits that their spirit and lighting qualities arc remark-, able. The correspondent of -the Manchester Guardian, telling on July 9th of the confidence of the British with the next battle imminent, says; “Another big factor hard to estimate is the result of their personal acquaintance with (1m work of the American soldiers. Everywhere 1 hear the same thing said about them. One officer who had a particular opportunity of seeing their work said that (he speed and ability with which they did everything set before them was remarkable, lie had never seen an American soldier slacking, never had heard one groaning, he said, and he found their discipline quite as good as our own. The fighting qualities of the American troops who have been in action are already proved to (he world.”
