h SOipsons.Rheims salient has been
reached, it is thought by military ex-
pePts.
FsenOh troops have entered the iowa
al SCISSORS, the western nchof point
Of what remains OF that famous 81
heat.
al along the bahEle h8e from Sois-
sons TO Thilhois, French, United States
and British troops have pushed in ,
entire enemy front and the Germans
are in precipitate retreat.
The plains behind the northwestern
portion OF the battle front now are en-
tirely dominated by the allied big
SdAs.
The chief Importance Of Lord Lans-
dmCUne's peace letter, read at q COD
ference recently Of his supporters-
which consists largely IN criticisms
OF. the allies for their failure to state
their war aims more specifically and
urges them to take advantage Of any
opportunity for q discussion Of terms
is that he is the only British states
man of first rank who is listed in his
own country and abroad as a paci1st,

Emperor William has issued a proc

navy, saying Germany ia facing the
hardest struggle of the war, and ex-
presses no doubt that Germany will uL
timately be able to foil the desperate
efforts Of the allies. n
IN the southern section Of the bat
tie front United States and French
troops have negotiated almost all OF
the hill and forest country.
On the eastern battle front the Brit
ish and French are almost astride the
Rheims-Soissons railway.
Just how far the retreat Of the Ger
mans will go cannot at present be
forecast, but it is not improbable that
the Germans may be compelled to take
refuge north of the Aisne.
Numerous towns, villages and ham
lets have been captured by the allied
troops in the last two weeks.
On the Aisne-Marne front two miles
were gained with almost no fight
ing.
