Last week witnessed renewal Of
the l.alseI's iriss. O;. ms west fronf.
but to the surprise Of everyone not in
the confidence of the German high
command, the blow was directed. not
against the allies in Flanders, nor
against their lines In the Amlens re-
glOn, but in Champagne. His appar-
ent intention was to rush his forces
swiftly on Paris, breaking through
where the allies were weakest. The
location was well chosen and the prep
arations made with wonderful secrecy,
hut up TO the hour of writing the re-
suits were, as In the former drives, not
comparable with the losses sustained.
The apex Of the drive had advanced
some Is miles beyond the starting line,
reaching Vezllly, six miles from the
Marne and A miles from Paris. The
famous Chemin des Danes had been
taken, as had CraOnne, Vallly, Flsmes
and other towns and villages, and
finally, on the west side Of the new
salient. the allies retired from Sols.
sons. But by that time General Foch's
reserves were arriving In large num-
bers and the desperate efforts OF the
Germans to widen the salient were
stubbOrnly resisted and virtually
checked. In the suburbs Of S0lssons
the French were holding onto the west
ern outlets from that city, and north
west of Relms, on the east side OF the
wedge, the Franco-British forces were
repulslng every Hun assault
The commanders OF the allies viewed
the situation with calm confidence 0nt
seemed to have no doubt that they coult
stem the onrush Of the Germans Ions
before they reached the neighborhooI
of Paris. They were not yielding ,
foot Of ground easily or cheaply, bu
were pursuing their former policy o
retiring In good order before vastly su
perlor numbers, maintaining their lin
intact and sparlng their reserves a
much as possible.
