amongst US who are eager for JUS

On all the sectors under attack
from Belgium to Flanders to the

violence of the attack of the British,
Americans, French and Belgians. In
Belgium the advance of the troops
of King Albert and of Field Marshal

Huns Resisting.
From Cambria to St. Quentin the
British and Americans again have
delivered hard smashes against the
German strongholds all along the

The Germans here are offering most
strenuous resistance and in counter
attacks compelled the British on one
or two sectors to withdraw for
slight distances. The British are in
the process of cleaning up the town
of Cambria, having penetrated its
| suburbs from the northwest and
southwest. In the region of ST.
