London, Aug 1.-The British pene-
trated to maximum depth of three
miles in an attack on five-mile front
yesterday on the westerly side of the
Marne salient, according to dispatches.
They captured the ridge forming the
watershed between the Ourcq and the
Aisne. Meunier wood and West Cous-
about the center of the
salient, were also taken. The situa-
tion is considered extraordinarily
good. Advices describe this as the
turning point Of the summer cam
paign and possibly Of the whole war.
The capture of heights on the wester-
ly line means that the Germans viii
be unable to retire leisurely and that
they probably have withdrawn behind
the Vesle river
