Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
lopurlaht, J91B by Sew Yotk Timis Co.
Ullli the llrlll.b Armies, Aug 9
Vesterday was marked by a great and
significant action, hitherto successful It
Is further proof that upon the JJrltlsh
front also the Initiative now rests with
the Allies and that tho Germans stand
on the difenslve along the whole llnd.
Put in the briefest terms, the move
ment has been an advance along a front
of about twelve miles held by llrltish
orps and three miles held by the
Trench The advance has penetrated
various points fiom four to six or even
eight miles
The orlglml front lay across the valle
of the Somnie and Its tributaries at an
average distance of about ten or twelve
miles east and southeast of Amiens
Hough!) It ma be said to hive extended
from the fields just west of Morlancourt
on the high ground or peninsula between
the Ancre and the Simme and southward
and southwestvvard across the Sommc
and Its tributaries the I.uce and Aire
to a point west of Moreull and Morlsel
villages facing each other on opposite
banks of the Are
In a wider strategic sense It will he
seen that anything which pushes the
enemv eastward along the whole of that
front tends to render his position In the
Montdldler salient perilous, and o

Foch-
Blasts German Hopes
German strategy, like the Marne salient, presents a diminished front as the result of
Foch's July counter-offensive, brilliantly aided by General Haig, and our own General Pershing
with his fighting Americans. Even the Frankfurter Zeitung admits that "Foch's .attack
threatens the whole of Hindenburg's plans," and this admission is interpreted by the Phila
delphia North American to mean "that the most ambitious of Germany's 1918 offensives has
collapsed, and that the invaders, weakened in fighting strength, in morale, and in prestige, must
laboriously build up the structure of a new campaign." And, as further foreshadowing Ger
many's doom, a correspondent of the Amsterdam Handehblatt says, "from America issues
a force against which no European nation can stand. It is a gigantic force which is, devel
oping calmly and scientifically. The German people have not seen what I have seen."
To gain a succinct and accurate knowledge of the great victory of the Allies in the
Marne salient, its initiative, its progress, and what it augurs for the future, you should read the
leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for August 10th. It is accompanied by a full
