American aid has already served
to change the tide OF the fighting
The arrival of American troops
by the hundreds of thousands has
enabled General Foch to begin
harassing the enemy all along the
line, while the increasing num-
her of American pilots makes
possible concentrations of air
forces that sweep enemy scouts
out OF the sky in the sectors sc-
lected for limited drivers.
The American attacks around
Chateau Thierry, the French op-
erations on the Soissons front OF
the Compeigne salient, and the
British operations on both sides
of the Somme and in Flanders
peobably were prompted by the
fact that the weakness OF the
enemy at those particular points
had been revealed by airpIane OBJ
servations or as a result OF raids
at other points.
General Foch, II Is believed here,
Is now in position to force the
issue and compel the Germans 10
