A FTER six days of terrific fight
\ ing the German offensive in

A FTER six days of terrific fight
n ing the German offensive in
France is beginning to show
signs of losing its momentumt The
progress of the enemy has materially
slackened, and the form of the dent
made in the allied line west of Cam
Dral has begun to resemble the famil l.
lar wedge-like salient instead of. the
broad straightforward movement of
an offensive which carries all before
it.
AT its apex this wedge has gone be-
yond Albert, to the south of that
place, and is to the westward of the
old allied line as il stood a year ago
when Won Hindenburg began his
strategic retreat"
From this point the line runs off tc
the northeast at a gentle angle, with
the line to the south running back
until it reaches the Disc river.
German Efforts Defeated.
In spite of tremendous exertions
and terrible losses, the German efforts
to widen the tip of this salient were
defeated on Tuesday. The British
have stood firm to the north and have
forced the Germans to turn south.

Official statements issued at Lon
don confirm the report from Berlin
that American forces are engaged in
the struggle. They are reported as
fighting shoulder to shoulder" with
the French and British in the region
of Roye, on the south side of the
salient driven into the allied front.
There has been no official report
sent to Washington as to the identity
of these troops who are taking part in
this greatest battle in history.
Allies Ready to Strike Back.
With the slackening of the German
pace there are indications that the
allies are ready to strike back some
where along the front. Just where
this blow will be launched will not be
known until it is struck, but 1t may
be expected that it's impact will be
terrific.
1t is known that the allied war
council at Versailles created great
strategic reserve of men to be used

fronts the armies which have borne
the brunt of the fighting since last
Thursday morning.

They appear to feel that turning
point in the terrific struggle was
close at hand. Press reports from
the British front hinted at he same
feeling there
For the people of the United States,
the announcement by the British au-
thori,ies that American troops are
fighting side by side with Fregch and
British defenders, brings the battle
closer home. War department Off

against the British lines AS the bat
tie proceeds officers here are becom-
ing more certain that the defenders
are carrying out definite plan Of
which the. British withdrawal is a
part. but which will prove soon to be
coupled with powerful counter
thrust.
The most probable place for the
launching of such a movement. it was

Until General Pershing reports as

had come up with French reinforce

be supplied with ammunition and re-
placements from the French COM
munications.
Should this prove to be the case,

that American troops will be with

heavily against the Germans when the

previous time of the outcome of the

it would be stopped. Now, however,
they are thinking of the probable ex-

certain is to fall sooner or later.
There is no lack of possibilities in
the northern sector of the battle
area. When the time arrives it is
possible hat a thrust will come from
that direction also.
The prospect to some officers is
for a great pincer movement aimed
