Evidences of Resources at Hand That
Make for Allied Success.
Washington.-Ame army offic-
ials greeted with delight the news that
the Franco-British forces had launch
ed smashing blow at the enemy on a
wide front in the Picardy theatre. The
full extent of the thrust was not dis
cernible in a military way, but the out
standing fact to observers here was
that Field Marshal Foch found himself
able to strike again on the heels of
the victory at the Marine, which still is
being pressed.
The supreme commander has made
it evident that he has the men and
the means to keep up the aggressive
battle for which American officers
have been DESTROYS. The reputation Of
the great French strategist is that he
is the advocate of attacking the enemy
without rest.
