AMERICA'S ARMY.

ANXIOUS TO BE" FIGHTING. United Service. London, March 39. A special correspondent speaks of tho keenness of the Americans to participate injhe fighting.fj An,ollicer ssid the whole American Army bit terly regrets its comparative futility to-day, and Prays for a speeding-up to enable it to take some real “part in the war b.fore many mouths. Tho correspondent adds; It is wise in the meantime to realise that nothing the American Array can do for a considerable time will count for anything As things go, the English and .french must do this job practically alone for some time yet. A serious question is as to'whether Germany lias scill sufficient fresh divisions to overbear the dogged Anglo-French soldiers, thereby compelling grave decisions. ISTo doubt, the German leaders believe their superiority is sufficient and intend to force the fighting. Continuous and exhaustive, and posssibly de cisive lighting must be expected. " WARLIKE ROADMAKERS. JOIN IN THE HURLY BURLY. London, March 31. One of the most dashing operations of .the week was a counterattack by a scratch force of road workers," signallers and other miscellaneous units commanded by Lartillory officers.
