OF AMERICAN PART
Enemy Right Flank Menaced
And Retirement May Be

Washington, July 19.-News Of rcsum-
ption Of the American French drive on
the Marne-Aisre sent another thrill
through the nation today.
Overnight dispatches to the war de-
partment indicate that the allies are
seriously menacing the German right
flank, which bends southwark from the
Aisns to Chateau.Thiery. Possibility
of forcing the enemy to withdraw from
the salient and fall back from the Marne
Or endanger thousands Of his troops is
seen by military experts here.
Officials were at their desks early
seeking the latest news of the often.
sivc. The White House called the I'M
Iited Press office before o clock that
President Wilson might have the news
before leaving for his golf game.
Secretary Tumulty had previously
telephoned from his home to learn
whether the onrush of the Americans
continued.
He was elated at the news. Many de-
partments of congress asked to he kept
in touch with developments.
On every hand buoyant effect of the
drive is shown. There is marked en-
thusiasm that at last there is evidence
of unusual offensive action on the part
of the allies.
Americans military mel have long
been chatting at letting the enemy 10
the offensive activity. More and more
as the Americans get into the fray the
tide will turn,they say,for greater acti
witty by the allies-and the Germans will
see whether or not the Americans are
"merely cannon fodder"
Shelling of scissors by French and
American big guns gave hopes that the
city will soon fall. With this would
come swapping of German railroads
feeding the RHEIMS sector, where the
Teuton is pressing hard to encirelc the
/ city.
That the Americans and French were
able to pick up the drive after q
nights rest indicated to officials that
there is perfect organization in the al
lied advance.
