|GREAT GAINS ARE MADE BY
 ALLIES TODAY ON FRONT FROM AIsNE RIVER
 TO NEAR CAMBRIA. Continued Pressure Of the Allied Ar mics Have Served to Practically Cancel Great German Stroke
 Of March 2l.
GERMANS ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Associated Press Summary


 The British, American and French armies gained importtantt and new ground last night and today along the entire front from the Aisne riv- CT to west of Cambrai As whole through the campaign inaugurated by Foch July IS, and in particular through the Franco British drive dur ing August, the German stroke of March 21 is now virtually cancelled. The Germans have been pushed from all the territory they conquered by the great offensive they opened on that date except for a narrow strip be- tween La Fere and Cambrai. Along his old line the enemy is now facing an allied force that, instead of being anxiously in wait for a powerful Ger man stroke, is completely on the az gressive. The formation of a new all American army in France would seem to indicate that Pershing will have much to do with bringing about the repulse of the German forces com pletely across the Hindenburg line and probably to the frontier.
