AMERICAN AID MAY BE TOO LONG DELAYED

Condition. However, Not One That ,? Demands Criticism, Declares London Newspaper.

LONDON, April 29.—"There has been noticeable of late," says an editorial in th= Times, "a tendency to question the value of American assistance in the great struggle or at least its arrival in time to prove of real value befcr^ the crisis of the present tussle is •past. This was perhaps only to be expected as tlie inevitable reflex of the first tide of optimism with which

America's entry into tho war was greeted and the extravagant expectations of its early effect which were then built up on that event. "'Since these last have failed to materialize. their builders have hastened to cast the blame on America rather than confess their unwarranted assumptions and, swinging over to the other extreme, now seek to minimize rather than render justice to undeniable American achievements. Early RKP'irancos that our American allies would make their presence felt in the air first of all are also recalled and we are asked to compare these fond hopes with the unsatisfactory fulfillment of American promises in this respect. Reminders will not be without their value if th«*y increase our determination to put forth every ounce of effort of which we are capable and if they convince each of the allies that the surest way to win the war Is to do all they can toward winning it themselves, leaving nothing which can be done individually to be done by others, and above all, bv refraining from hampering the labors of our friends by unhelpful criticism. We have grumbled sufficiently at our own achievements to realize that the path of war preparation in the United States must he obstructed with at least ns many difficulties as our own has been and Still iB. "If we have been dissatisfied with our own rate of progress we may be very sure that our American friends have been equally dissatisfied with theirs and that true to their national character they have been even less sparing 1n criticism. Since we have hail to deplore bitterly our own unprepuredness for th« struggle, which was fen fd upon us, we cannot refuse to recognize that America was even less prepared than ourselves nor to admit tl-.at she has been quicker than we to acknowledge that performance cannot be made to jump simultaneously .with project.

The suggestion that America has failed to fulfill her promises up to the "hilt can not fail to arouse her. She feels now that she must do more than justify them, and we may rest assured that she will not only do so but will do so at much earlier date than any has seriously expected."

AMERICAN FORCES ONJIRST LINE

Continued From Page One,

all the allied forces will henceforth be used interchangeably. Situation Is Changed. "The change in the combat situation has materially altered the moment of decision of the offensive. Instead of the enemy being able to defeat the British army and then turn its full energy against the French, the allies are now able to oppose their fully united strength to the hositle attack. "It must constantly be borne in mind that the enemy is seeking a decision that will end the war. This decision can only be arrived at by the destruction of the allied forces in the field before fresh units contributed from additional levies in France and Great Britain, as well as by our own troops, can take up their position in sufficient numbers to turn the German successes to defeat.

U. S. Mutt Supply Men.

"Ours is the imperative duty oi providing replacement units for the French aimies. "We must be able to put fresh men in the field, thoroughly and metholically trained. In addition to those already called to the colors and now training at our cantonments or already selected for service, very large quotas will be required in the immediate future to fill the gaps. "Operations of the week reveal that the enemy, taking advantage of the re-entering angles stretching from the Avre northward and from Wytschaete to Drancutre, has resumed operations after a period of relative calm. "It is not difficult to follow the strategic conception of the German higher command. An enveloping movement is outlined which on the one hand is to force the retirement of the British from Arras and if wholly successful result In the capture of both Arras and Amiens on the other, by the occupation of the important heights of Kemmel, to wipe out the Ypres salient and throw the British line back of Hazenbrouck and Poperinghe."

UNDER HEAVY FIRS.

Americans On Entering Line in Picardy Meet Artillery Attack. WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN NORTHERN FRANCE, April 28.— fBy the Associated Press).—The Americans, on entering the line in Picardy, found their position in a rolling terrain. The artillery was the first on the line, entering on a dark night which was made red by the continuous flashes of friendly and hostile guns. Under a Are which in some cases was rather heavy the American gunners took up the position of the French batteries and completed the work of digging in.

When the infantry moved in the firing was just as intense. In some places our troops after passing through villages were raked now and then with %hrapnel. In several instances they found the trenches shallow while in other cases there were no trenches at all. By this time the positions have been improved greatly and the shell holes connected. The American lines generally are about 200 to 400 yards apart and the high ground is about evenly divided. What the future holds for the American fores is, of course, unknown, but the Americans are confident that under the efficient French direction, although the task ahead may be difficult they will give a good account of themselves and strike the Boche a blow, if opportunity offers.

Sector More Active.

Tt Should be understood that this sector is not especially active in comparison with others to the north although it is more active than those the Americans previous had faced. The artillery firing is heavy and intermittent, the German shells whizzing over the lines into towrns in' certain rear areas.

There has not been a raid on either side of the line for several days, but at night the patrols are active, Americans approaching close to the enemy's lines. All during the night rapid machine gun and rifle fire indicate where the American bullets are keeping out enemy patrolling parties. The march from the billet bases to the line was very impressive. Many units started oft with the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner," played by regimental bands, in their ears.

At one place the tuiys must have reached the German lines so close was the band, the gun flashes being reflected on the instruments. The constant roar of artillery was deafening and the Americans, marching as if on parade, disappeared down the roads past the American batteries which were sending many shells in to the enemy lines.
