NEW HEART PUT INTO POILU BY AMERICAN KHAKI awiawomnaaaaaaaaBBaaaal spiring Effect on All Allied Troops Follows Yankees' ' 'Arrival.

PARIS, June 23 The amalgamation of the American clearinghouse, one of the chief institutions for handling the yast supplies contributed by America, with the American Red Cross, has been decided upon by General Pershing. The transfer has already begun 8ud the organization of the clearinghouse and all its assets will be in tin lunds of the Red Cross by September 1 The clearinghouse has been the intermediary between 5,000 societies and contributing individuals In the United States and. has bandied 65,000,000 francs worth of food and clothing and 11.000,000 francs in cash. .All its administration has been by American volunteers under the presidency of H.

French' Appreciate Yankees ; The longer the American military leaders are here the more they appreciate the importance which the French attach to America's decision to send troops. The soldiers are desirable not merely for themselves, but because American participation in the , war In a military way has had a wonderfully inspiring effect on all the other allied troops. A little example was cited by a general staff officer who participated yesttrday evening in the bi-weekly reception given by American women to French soldiers returning on furlough. The men formerly sang a great deal, always the Marseillaise by preference, but latterly this has stopped. The appearance of Americans in uniform, however, had an instant effect and the soldiers were roused to all their old time enthusiasm. Another task which the Americans are facing is the elimination here and at home of as much red tape as possible. Every day makes them feel more and more the necessity of as free a hand as possible (as they are actually on the ground and cognizant of the needs of the situation.
