Yankees Make Impossible Possible, Says Petit Journal. Paid to Ingenuity, Clevernes* and Dispatch of American*. Paris. —"The Americans doubt nothing. That Is the reason they realize everything in the way of making the / impossible possible and overcoming all obstacles.” So says the Petit-Journal, in speaking of, the enormous docks and warehouses which the American army has erected on the coasts of France. “The Americans," the newspaper continues, “do big things and they do them quickly. The question of time pod other rules which ordinarily determine the possible do not exist for the Americans. With them the imjposslble becomes the rule and it is
