BRITISH PRESS PRAISES EFFORT OF U. S. IN WAR

Dispatch of a Half Million American Soldiers to France Called Wonderful Achievement. (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 11. Secretary Baker's statement that more than 500,000 men are now in France is given much prominence by the press and cordially commented upon. The Daily Telegraph describes America's effort as a wonderful feat apart from other vast work of its war organization. It recalls the German sneers at American efforts and says that when Secretary Baker's announcement leaks out in Germany the public there will realize in this as in many other matters, that they have been grossly deceived by . their rulers. The Daily Mail says that if anything is needed to add to the heartiness of the greeting awaiting the American troops in London today it Is supplied by Secretary Baker's announcement. The dispatch of a half million men Is really a great achievement, the Mail says and adds: "America has had immense and unlooked for difficulties to contend with. She hasn't overcome all of them, but is fast getting the better of them. There is very much to be done before America's weight is fully felt, but the government and people of the United States are sparing nothing that will enable them to do it."
