AN ALLIED OFFENSIVE.

1T , easy to believe the report that the news Of the
French offensive on the west front, which is also an
American offensive caused wave Of enthusiasm to sweep
through The War department at Washington yesterday
Tbs Is de kind Of stately which suits the temper Of the
American people and probably safe say that as soon
de public understood the scope Of yesterdays movement
between he Aisne and Name rivers wave Of enthusiasm
swept also across the country.
But while the American public wanted the Allies to
hks he initiative. there was not the slightest suggestion Of

Judging by the amount and character OF the work

the German Central Staff was wrong. Plenty OF mis-
takes have been made the Allied side of the battle

nonneement Of the American counter
offensive was greeted in the House Of
Commons. No consideration Of mere
national vanity governs the enthu-
siasm which the American people are
rightly showing over the achieve
