Vrr THE WAR SITUATION The long expected storm broke over the Western front on. Monday, when the Germanelaunched their fifth et - tack since the opening of the spring drive on March 21st last, on a sixty mile front. • The blow fell on the Marne, where they came so near Paris in 1914, but where later they met with a' disastrous setback. Fierce fighting has been in progress since Monday morning, both on the east and west side of the Cathedral city of Rheims, the brunt of the`battle falling on the French and Italian` troops on -the east side of the city and the American and French soldiers on the other side. It it estimated that the German offensive is on a Scale with the magnitude of the first blow in March, fully a million of their troops being engaged. At no one point, however, have they repeat - their early successes, in fact the first day of the fighting might even_ be called a big defeat for the enemy, because on the entire attacking front the enemy was not able to break through the Allied positions. The slight advances made are as nothing compared with the efforts displayed and the losses sustained and a general feeling of confidence reigns in the Al- lied ranks. No where has the enemy found it possible in the initial stage of this bettle, as in the former ones, to press 'forward, althougb in the same formidable numbers; and tear his way through the Allied positions to points of vantage chosen as their objectives. it is tsue, some gains have been made by the Germans, but they are very 'small when compered with those -of other attacks this year. Instead of in rolles, they may be reckoned almost in, yards, _and from some of the posi- tions captured they were immediately ejected and driven back to their start- ing point under vicious counter-at- tacks delivered by the American. etoops, who have been doing wonder- ful work, fighting side by side with the French. It is too early yet to prophesy the result of the present bat- tle, or what effect it will have in the final result, but the three first days of the offensive have passed, and the Al- lies have been able to most effectually nut the breaks on the German ad- vance, and heretofore it has been. the first days when the Germans made their* gains. The danger is not yet past,,beeause the renewal of the of- fensive plainly shows that Germany is still in a position to deal terrific blows and gain ground at important points. The fact, however, must not be lose sight of that so far he has been utter- ly unable to accomplish his object -which is 4ck crush the Allied armies and his gains have been made only at tremendoue cost, as one- writer says he has exchanged thousands of men for certain.o.c4s of territory whith is to be theit buf:ying ground.
