AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The Second
Battle of the Aisne (between scissors
and Rheims) began.
Nivelle, the French Commander-in-
chief, was confident of achieving a de-
cisive break through and intended
that his country should play the lead
ing role in it. He therefore planned
for French divisions to deliver the
main blow, in Champagne, as soon as
the British and Canadian preparatory
attacks north and south of the
Somme had served their purpose of
fixing the enemys attention and re-
serves.
Haig had agreed to this subordinate
role for British forces because it pro-
missed a stronger effort by the French
laggard for months, and so the battle
of Arras was currently in progress,
with the results of Vimy Ridge and
n the vicinity of Lens already noted
here.
Neville was in for surprise after
the zero hour for the Aisne battle, and
