vance of the infantry. Thus the in.
valuable element of surprise was OBJ
tanned. and the terrain was not torn
up by shells in a way TO make the
progress of the troops difficult, In
fact, the allies were able 10 carry their
artillery right along with them. de-
spite the rapidity of their movements.
The airmen went into the fight in
great numbers and more daringly than
ever before. Big Squadrons flying low
over the retreating Boches continually
harassed them with bombs and ma
chine gun fire, throwing them into ut
ter disorder and smashing their trans
port trains. The aviatOrs also direct
ed the movements of the tanks and
often brought them ammunition. The
service rendered by them, however
vast costly, for in the first three days
more than fifty British planes were re-
ported missing. most Of them being
shot down from the ground.
II one may have confidence III the
opinion of trained observers, there is
eyeryreaSon to be eXultant over the re-
suits Of the two offensives directed by
Marshal Foch He is following out his
policy of hitting continuously and hard
and shows no intention of permitting
the Huns to have any rest now that
he has them on the defensive. The
war isn't over by any means, hut the
advantage has gone over 70 the allies
and they propose to keep 1t. To DO
this requires that our efforts be sus-
tainer and greater than ever. There
must be no relaxation at home. as
there will he none in the war zone.
Shouting over the victories won will
not help to win those that are neces-
Sary in the future.
