WASHINGTON THRILLED BY
NEWS OF FRENCH BLOW
Every Official Believes Day
Has Come When FoCh May
use Aggressive Tactics

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Word that
the French were striking the Germans
ON a wide front below the Aisne sent
wave of enthusiasm through the war de-
partment today when the first bulletin
came in. Every official accepted it as
proof that the long days Of purely de-
fensive operations are ended and that
General Foch, largely because OF the
million American soldiers that have
aggressive tactics.
At first glance and without any def
mite information as to the French coun-
ter stroke, officers were inclined to be-
lieve it a diversion in force to relieve
pressure on the front Of the German
offensive. 1t is the first extensive coun-
ter blow the allies have been able to at
tempt since the German onslaught be-
gan last March
Striking to the east and north, the
counter stroke threatens the rear Of the
German assault on the eastern flank
of the whole Aisne salient. where the
enemy is pressing down the Marine val
ley and through the woods west of
Rheims with THE evident purpose of cut
ting off Rheims and forcing its evacua-
ton. 1t was thought here, on the face
of early adviceS, that the French counter
stroke was designed to draw off German
reserves heretofore held for the purpose
of pressing through the gap in the
French positions along the Marine and
from that river eastward toward
Rheims.

FoCh Springs Surprise Counter
Offensive Using Americans

NEW YORK, July 1S.-(Summary o.
Dispatches from American and French
Fronts in France. 1.-The allies started
a counter offensive this morning by at
lacking on me 35-mile front from the
Marine northward to the Aisne.
The French communicate. issued at
noon, stated the initial gains of from
mile to nearly two miles had been made
and that prisoners were taken.
The Franco-American attacks extend
the battle line into a gigantic fighting
front of nearly 100 miles from Maia
de Massiges to the region of scissors
Additional American forces have thus
been hurled into the maelstrom of blood
and steel on the west front. Marines
and regulars are known to be in tina
lire from Vaux northward to Vinly, and
it is probable that numbers of American
reserves have been thrown into this
fighting.
