High praise of American troopa Is awarded by Andre Tardleu, high commission er of Franco-American war coopera tion In reviewing the course of the war to date. M. Tardleu, who la now In Paris, in the course of a cabled statement to th Associated Press, says German prisoner declare that If the whole American army (hows th same daih as th Americans who have been In action so far, the German cause Is lost.

But the' German army was ' still powerful and Its losses were counter balanced by the gains of the preced ing offensive, M. Tardleu says.' Then the 'British army assumed the offensive, Amiens was liberated; Montdldler fell, the armies of .Cen trals pi'heney and Humbert started t war of position and on August 19 the French reached the Olse, south r-f Noyon, with Mungln'8 army.
