Are Increasingly Re-As-

GREATER STRENGTH
Compelled to Give Ground in Some
Places in the First Shock, But Coun-
to Stoppage of Enemy.

says Havas agency review today, still
view the situation as serious, but consid-
er the signs increasingly reassuring. The
most important development is regarded
as the enemy attempt to advance west
ward and push toward Paris; this, it is
considered, revealing his intention un-
mistakably. In the first shock of this
new rush it is pointed out the allies
were obliged to give ground in some
places, but they held their own on the
Aisne and the Ourcq and their vigorous
counter attacks were considered prel
ude to the stoppage of the enemy nd
vance.
