The Times publishes from a special correspondent an nrtlclc describing what the American forces have accomplished In France during their first eleven months of participation In the war. Ho writes: "What the American forces In France have accomplished thus far Is almost Incredible. For Instance, out of the waste lands adjacent to an old French port they have constructed a splendid lino of modern docks, where every day new ships are pouring forth their car goes of men and war materials, cats and machinery. This dock system Is finished, tt supplements the old French dock system In a town where still more ships are constantly discharging American cargoes. A huge new warehouse system It nearlng completion. liven now It Is able to take care of the great flood of supplies which are constantly pour ing In. "In nn old part of this same coast town the Americans installed motor operation and cold Btorage plants, a motor reception park and quarters for storing supplies for the ordnance and Aviation forces. These are more or less temporary quarters and will be merged in the near future In. a general canton ment which Is now being completed In the outskirts of the town. 300 Miles of Itnllraml Yard 1 W mmSWf1 IPS' Whole Scheme Upset iP Montdidicr-Noyon Line Holds Paris Arrogant Altitude of Berlin Regarding New Coinih Treaty Irritates Patient Republic and Policy of Teutons Threatens Absolute Ruiu GROW MORE CONFIDENT Jw Znrlrli, Snltzorland, .tunc 12.

The two engi neers were sent out on n mission on Sunday night, the nature of which cannot ho stated. On the wav hack they took the wiong trnll thiough the woods without knowing it.

Hid In Wheat field The two engineers, finding It wrs getting daylight, started toward a wheat field. On the way they saw scores of Germans who did not see them, and found the positions or a large num- ber of machine guns. Tteaching the , wheat field, they lay down, coerlng themselves with grass nnd stayed there for seventeen hours, until It got dark again. Then. Instead or returning to me American lines, they went back through the woods and explored the German positions nearly nil night. Karly this morning they again reached the Amer ican lines and. going to headquarters, made n valuable report on what they had seen. This Is one of the most daring war exploits of which I have heard on the part of the soldiers of any army. It must be borne In mind that the engineers nre not i tally suppohed to bo com batant tioops, although they have proved slniti their experience with the British in the battle at Camhral that they are ersatlle fellows, and either building bridges or killing Germans is right In their line. From prisoners captured yesterday it was learned that the Germans have abandoned plans for another attack on the salient from Solssons tp Chateau Thierry, which inc'udes tho American front. Four days ago the Germifh high command began to send fresh' crack troops In front of our lines, but the de cision to drle there ws evidently abandoned in connection with the drive between Montdldler and Noyon. This move of the Germans has an analogy with their notion In the April drive on the .Somme. It has been estab lished definitely that the (let man high command had Its plans nil hid for an other attack Just north of Amiens, which, however. It abandoned when It learned that the French had brought up strong re-enforcements American Set-tor Nti oft Spot The Germans must now conserve their man-power, and to that end aie looking for places where they think there Is the smallest oppositlcn Infoimatlnn from captuied Germans Indicates that It does not consider the sector of which the Americans hold nn Impottnm part to be the soft spot.

The probability of Geiman failure 111 the present effort is based, by Gustavo Herve. in l.a Vlctolrc. on the argument that the Germans have never et scored a decisive success against the national forces of any one of t lie Allies.

On the British fiont they defeated merely the Firth British Army, and that only by sui prise. The IlrltMi army Im mediately filled the gaps, nnd tor two months have prevented the Germans' fiom advancing a step toward Amiens, i Air.ts or Calais. The Geimans have not defeated the French army.
