British Troops JOIN
In Rheims Offensive.

At the British Front, July A-Briush
troops have Joined the fighting in the
Rheims sector.
A strong British force today pene-
trated the German lines southwest OF
the Cathedral City. pushing es Tar as
the Western outskirts OF Bots de
Courton. $50
This British advance is part OF
the allied plan to squeeze the Germans
out of the deep salient between Sois-
sons, Rheims and Chateau Thierry.
The further tightening Of the allied
jaw on the enemy was hailed with
unbounded delight along the whole
British front and gave added impetus
to the celebration Of Belgium's Inde-
peldence Day. All the allied troops
displayed flags and many special serv-
ices were held. The Belgian colors
flooded every village back of the lines.
The Germans celebrated the day
by sheIling Ypres.
Latest official figures show that
the Scotch and South Africans took
nearly 500 prisoners when they cap
tured the village OF Meteren, Fri
day.
Scattered prisoners have been
taken since in patrol encounters
north of Bethune and west Of Mer-
VILE.
The enemy artillery has been ac-
tive in the Villers-Bretonneux front
(nine miles east OF Amiens), using
considerable quantities of gas. Ar
tiIlery activity also hared up
around Albert.

MARINE BLOW MAY START
FOCHS ARMIES SMASHING
AGAINST WHOLE HUN LINE
Presence of Americans in Force Gives Long.
Awaited Opportunity for Allies to At
tempt General Offensive.

London, July n.-Has the great
allied push begun?
That's the great question Of the
war today. The sudden surprise
counter-attack carried out SO sue
cessfully by the French and American
armies between the Aisne and the
Marne has given rise to it
1t is being answered in two ways
by allied military observers. who are
holding their breath in the suspense
accompanying the realization that
great events are about to transpire on
the Western front
One group believes that the allies
are not yet fully prepared for the
great smash. and that the offensive
was merely a local attack at an op-
perfume moment, designed to hatten
out the Soissons-Chateau Thierry
salient. force the Germans to fall
back on the Marine and relieve the
pressure against Rheims.
Time for big Push.
The other group. which includes
many American critics, is certain
that the counter-drive is the pre-
that will drive the Germans out of
France and Belgium.
They point to these facts to show
that this Is the likely theory:
Gen. Foch patiently accepted the
defensive in the first four German
offensives of the year. In the NTH
drive he was counter-attacking on
the first day. and on the third threw
the American and French reserves
in for a smashing counter-attack at
the weakest point Of the enemy's
line.
He had been waiting only until
Americas strength on the battle
line should reach a point where IL
swung the pendulum OF manpower
over to the side of the allies.
That moment has now arrived
The allies are stronger than the
Germans.

Foch, whom Joftre himself de-
clared to be ''the greatest strategist
in Europe" has for his motto the
word Attack His strategy con-

men when he is outnumbered, fall
