BIG SURPRISE FOR BERLIN.
French Editors Predict Many More to j 1
Follow Such Vic lories As That,
Achieved by American Forces at <
Bouresches—German Got a Severe i
Shock. i
PARIS, June 9.— (Special Corre- :
spondence)—Now that the tense anxi
ety, which, it may be admitted, pre
vailed here immediately after the first
1
shock of the German surprise advance
has been thoroughly allayed, Palis is ^
beginning to realize to the full that
the enemy received his greatest sur
prise of the \var in being made sud
denly acquainted with the fact that
American soldiers in France have al-h
ready become one of the dominating
features of the whole war situation.
:
The Germans have had during the .
last week one of the severest shocks
of their history. They have been!
made to realize in the most agonizing (
manner possible that not only is
there a large and splendidly equipped
American army already here and ac- 1
tually hard at work driving them out
of village after village, but that more
reinforcements for this army are ar
riving every week in incredibly large
numbers. These facts are believed
here to account to a considerable ex
tent for the present pause in the Ger
man offensive, and are certainly ac
countable for the comparative free
dom from the more intense forms of
anxiety with which France is now
facing the stern days of the future.
That the incontestable military val
ue of the American army is already
proving a very important hear fac-;
where recognized here.
“The impetuosity, the bite, the ar
dor and the solidity of the Ameri
cans,” says the Figaro, “must be a :
cruel surprise for the Germans in view
of the fact that they have all along
stubbornly refused to admit that
American troops could have any mil
itary value. They won't have a long
wait before being able still better to
judge what this young army is worth,
for it won’t be long before they will
have multitudinous opportunities of
coming into contact with its ever-in
creasing strength.
“The German drive has been stop
ped by a double obstacle,” writes Jo
seph Rinach, “and that is that it
breasts our own soldiers, whom they
have known for a long time, and those
of the American troops, who they
have fondly imagined were still in j
training camps on the other side of
the Atlantic. Since our reserves and
the Americans began to get to work,”
he adds, “the Germans have been able
to make only slight progress, and that
only at the cost of enormous losses.”
Surprises in Store for Berlin.
“The time of surprises is gone by
for us,” writes Gustave Herve in La
Victoire, “and all the surprises of the |
future will be for the enemy. The;
Americans have already given them
one big surprise by arriving on our
front in such numbers, so quickly, and
so well able to prove their fighting
value. They won’t be long in giving
them some more.”
“Without a word of flattery,” says
Henry Bidou in Le Journal, “we may
say beyond dispute that the American
troops have surpassed all that was ex
pected of them, not only by their
courage, which nobody doubted, but
by their aptness in adapting them- j
selves to the exigencies of modern |
warfare. The Germans must recog-!
nize—and sooner than the cleverest
of them ever thought possible—that
they have been just as much deceived
in regard to the possibilities of the
American effort as they had been on
the subject of the efficacy of the sub
marine warfare.” %
Maurice Barres, the Academician,
who is one of the star writers in the
Echo de Paris, comments on the ex
raordinary opportuneness and effica
:y of the interallied war council’s de
cisions in regard to the prompt r.tili
:ation of the American troops, and
-oices the gratitude of France to
^resident Wilson for speeding up in
uch an unhoped-for manner the
ransport of American troops to the
ront. Barres indorses Clemenceau’;
tatement in the chamber that Ameri
can aid will bring the decisive result *
>f the war.
The importance of the splendid
:ombative qualities of the “lighting
fankee,” as another writer terms oui *
soldier, is also keenly appreciated
lere. ^
This war, it is pointed out, will be
lecided by the quality of the effect
ves engaged. There is no such thing
hese days as “war of material,” and
victory will fall to the side that pos
sesses the best man-power.
A Victory That Counts.
c
“ It is no matter of indifference,
herefore,” says de Givet in L’Evene
nent, “that our new allies are the
;horoughbred soldiers we have al- ^
-eady been able to see they are. If
hey had not something more than the
nere weight of numbers to place at
! c
>ur disposal, they would not have J
leen able to make their power felt j"
intil they could give us a crushing j “
lumerical superiority, whereas al- j
•eady their presence is making itself j
’elt, and they have obtained some tine j
successes. Their capture of Boures
•hes notably has an indisputable tac
;ical value.”
Le Pays praises warmly the self-ab- j
legation and devotion to the common j(
’ause which induced the American s
1 (
ligh command to place its whole ar- j *
uv at the disposition of the general is- j *
