impressed by the success oi General
FochS counter offensive, and by the
American successes on the sc Stern
front. Hitherto the Chinese have
been very much overawed by Ger
many, which most OF them consider

taken place which is reflected in
the Peking press. The Minhsinpao
urges the Central Powers to make
peace with the allies and says the
defeats of the Austrian and Ger
man armies in Italy and France
clearly show that a coi1pIcte mill

possible, especially now that the
young American army has proved
itself capable Of attacking the eX-
perienccd German troops with vic

Previous to this Franco-American
victory in France, the majority OF
the Chinese people, especially Chi
nese military officers, most of whom
had been trained in Germany and
Japan, or educated in China under
German and Japanese military in

Americans to combat successfully
the Germans on the western front.
