Military Effect on West Front

Amsterdam, July 15.-The Ger

belttling the American military eff
fort on the western front
The military correspondent of the
Lokal Anzeiger keeps step with the

of the American soldier altho ugh he
considers that they lack discipline.

when they like to be-
1t is granted, he adds that while
possessing the material qualities of
the English yet the American army
will be inferior because the Ameri-
cans will not have leaders possessing
the requisite experience for handling
big armies"
Gen. Kobe, the military critic Of
the Germania, says that at the most
there are 100000 Americans, includ-
ing working squads, at the front, and
proceeds:
The significance Of Americas &C.
ton should in nOWise be moderated
nor does our chief command under
rate it, but we should guard against
oYerratlng 1t for no other reason but
that transportation must be made in
creasingly difficult by the U-boats,
also in view of the problems of equip
ment and commissariat which are
easily solvable on paper but not in
reality. Therefore, the Americans can
bring about no change in favor of o,r
opponents in the Immediate future"

BATTLE RAGING On
FRONT OF 50 Miles
Assault Troops Advance After
Artillery Preparations
(By the Associated Press.)

official reports relative to the
grand offensive begun this morning
against the Allied positions show it
is the most ambitious stroke sinch
March 81, when the Germans launch
ed their assault against the British
lines from the vicinity of Arras to
La Fere. The front IN the March 81
offensive was reported to be about SIS
miles in length. The one over which
the Germans We're attack king today is
approximately so miles from Chateau
Thierry, on the west, to Massignes IN
the Champagne, on the east.
The Germans followed their most
recent tactics of beginning an often
sive. There was brief artillery pre-
paration of greatest violence and then
came the advance of assault troops.
Naval Guns Used.
There seems, however, to have been
a new feature in this attack. Great
naval guns had been brought up be-
hind the enemy lines and towns and
cities far behind the actual battle
area were taken under bombardment.
The violence of this cannonade is
evidenced by the fact that the city of

jectiles during the night
The apparent purpose of the Ger
mans attacking along the line from
Chateau Thierry east along the Marine,
over the rolling hills to Rheims and
thence eastward to Massiges was
similar to that in the great attack
along the Aisne late in Many. They
evidently hoped to find the Allies less
we'll prepared in this sector than else
where. In spite of the repulse of the
Germans before Rheims early in
June it may DE that the Allied line
eastward from Chateau Thierry had
been more thinly held than that from
Chateau Thierry north to the Aisne
and thence through the Picardy sec
tor to Yprcs.
