Paris Surprised By Offensive,

Paris, July 3.-The Russian offen- sive shares with the American army in France the honors of the day in the newspapers. The news from Gen. Brussiloff's headquarters, coming on the heels of the arrival of the Amer ican van guards, fills Frances cup of Joy to overf1owing.

The ally's loyalty had never been doubted but her ability to carry out big military operations at an early date had been questioned. The news, therefore, came as an agreeable sur prise and morning newsps prs hast ned to make an honorable amend
 All newspapers pay the highest tri- bute to the efforts of Minister of War Kerensky, which made the event pos- sible.
