With the Germans being dominated
over a wide area by the French and
Americans from Rheims to the Argonne
forest, the Italians south OF Iaon nave
begun an offensive which seemingly
has as it's objective the finishing or
the work previously begun by the
French for the obliteration OF La Fere
and Laon. Here they have captured
in storming operations important and
strongly held German positions. In the
vicinity Of Laon conflagrations arc to
be seen and 1t seems not improbable
that the Germans are preparing Tor
withdrawal in consequence or the con-
vcrginG movement which is oelng
pressed against them from three sloes.

French around Rheims. the cathedral
city seems definitely liberated from the
German menace. for here they have lat
orally pressed back tho enemy. Like
