BRITISH STATESMEN
CHEER FOR j. S. ARMY
HOUSE OF COMMONS RINGS
WITH FERVOR RESULT
AMERICAN FIGHTING

London, July lot is regarded
here as being too early to pronounce
any opinion on the great battle
east and west of Rheims, but the
fact that the Germans this time
have not been able to repeat pre-
vious successes or make any sub
stantial advance has been received
in London with undisguised relief.
This was echoed in the hearty
cheers which greeted Chancellor
Bonar Laws announcement in the
house of commons late last evening,
cheers which sounded with equal
fervor for the American success as
for the tenacity of the French and
Italian resistance and in apprecia-
ton OF General Foch's encouraging
words that he was we'll satisfied
with the results of the first day.
Sir Walter Runciman's remark
that the house would wish to con
gratulate not only the French but
the Americans also was endorsed
by an outburst OF applause.
Is 1t Foes Main Blow?
As far as is known here nothing
developed last Monday to show
more clearly than in the earlier
hours whether the enemy's exten-
sive and carefully prepared attack
is his main blow. Commentators
recall that it has been 4 German
habit in the past to strike in one
direction and to allow a big battle
to develop and then suddenly
switch off to some other point
plan which his central position en-
ables him to carry out with re-
rapidity.
1t is suggested that the present
assault may be diversion to draw
the allied reserves from the Flan-
ders front to prepare tile way for
a German attack in that region.
Hun Has Two Objectives.
Whatever is the aim of the pres
cnt stroke it is held that the en-
emy's final objective if dictated by
purely military considerations is to
separate the French and British
armies and to drive the British back
On the coast. Failing success in
his direction, his second choice
must be to reach Paris on line so
near as to bring the capital within
-ange of his heavy artillery.
The result of Mondays attack, as
ar as information here enables
Judgment to be formed. brought
him no nearer either objective.
Newspaper comment thus far on
he battle is somewhat restrained,
'ending a clearer indication of the
nemy's immediate intention. But
he tenor of all editorials is hope
nj. None of the commentators
Expresses a final opinion as to
the allies are facing main
ttack.

at the Office Monday morning. Feeling
in his pocket he discovered he had no
