LONDON, Aug. 2 Reuters correspondent at American Headquarters, telegraphing on Thursday evening, says
It would be a mistake to suppose that tremendous struggle is in progrese on the American front and that the results are inadequate. Fighting is eally on a comparatively small scale. Infantry fighting has been very bitter, but the guns have been little used, suggesting that our Commanders' pur pose le maybe to hold the enemy rather than burry the advance.
