Washington. Aug. 31. 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. ' ' " '"
M. Tardleu relates how the events
in Russia by giving Germany a
crushing superiority , allowed
tho enemy to undartnko " ' the
large offensive operation directly
threatening Paris, putting' Amiens,
the pivot point of the Franco-Brlt-iRh
troop, under fire, and cutting
oft railway communications with the
east and north.. . . ,
This was on July 18, On August
3 the enemy was brought back on
the Vesle, the road to Nancy wa
freed and the accesa to Paris by the
Marne was barred through opera
tion in which the American troop
played a prominent part.
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. The
events up to the 23rd, . when the
main British attack began, are' des
cribed, r.nd M. Tardleu continues:
"ThouRh It Is too soon as yet to
turn up a whoh, the military
operations extending from August ft
to Aimust 25, since the battle Is still
In . progress, the following results
have already been Obtained:
"1 Paris I no longer threatened.

' "3 Our third aim, to wret the

German high' command to tne Ger
man troops are now of a decidedly
defensive nature. They confess that
the situation la serious for Germany.
t'judlng from reliable documents
It see.uorihat ohy!i fresh divisions,
that iv- to say, 24 divisions having
been withdrawn from the tiring line
for at least a month, are now all the
actual German reserves.
"Twenty-three others are being
reformed. '
"Forty-seven divisions whose mor
ale was considerably shaken, consti
tute the German'' last reserve In the
present battle.
"The answers of prisoners, secret
documents and letters addressed to
Girman soldiers reveal a great dis
couragement among them, They no
longer believe In victory, and with
them it is onl" a question ot holding
on to save Germany from disaster. '
"Germany knows now that French
and EnglUh reserves are not .ex
hausted and at last she begins to
learn the value ot the help that Am
erica bring the allies.
"She realise that the Americans
reformed after the operation along
the Ve9le ad strengthened by a con
stant flow of new divisions, are In
themselves a mena 'e every day-wore
Imminent.
"The German officers tiken .;irs
oners before July 18 hsserted thry
did not believe In the possibility of
the participation of .the' Americans
In the battle, ; ,. ,
i "Those made prisoners In the lat
operations recognise that the fight
ing qualities ot the Americans are
exceedingly -great and their tenacity
! extraordinary. 'If the whole Ameri
can army,' they added, 'show the
same dash, the German cause Is
lost."
