SUCCESS OF ALLIES
ALTERS SITUATION

London, July 1s.-The success Of
the Franco-American counter-offen-
sive has altered the entire situation on
the Champagne front. The whole
German line from Chateau-Thirrey to
Rheims. the dispatches from the bat
tie front point out, is dependent on
the railroads which. the French now
dominate. Supplies for the German
forces round Chateau Thierry must
now be carried 20 to 80 miles by road.
1t will be serious business for the
Germans to remain in this salient, ac-
cording to all'accounts They will not
only have to discontinue all their plans
for the offensive here, but probably
will be forced to fall back a consid-
cradle distance to a new line where
the problem OF supplies can be
handled easier.
The German offensive thus has
been turned into a repulse, the ad-
vices from the front say. and may
now be turned definitely into Ger
Tho initiative is now in the hands
Of the French.
The Germans. it is contended, will
have to fight hard to stave OF rout
and to extricate themselves. This
means that the entente allies definite.
ly have settled with the crown prince
and have completely neutralized hi.
group Of armies.
In the last week the Germans have
used more than thirty divisions, o1
which number % were from the gen
eral reserve. The using OF these 2!
general reserve divisions is one Of the
most satisfactory features of the
weeks work. for they have been ex'
hauHed in q wholly abortive enter
prise and have lost very heavily.
