NATION'S HEART WITH ITS BRAVE ARMY IN FRANCE YVhole Country Goes Wild Over Brilliant Victory Over the Hun Washington. July 19.—The heart of the American nation was in France last night. It marched and fought proudly with the boys who went over the top this morning and still were gallantly smashing their HEI.I. lftftl— 235 a UNITED i / ! -V jfcp Hats Off For the success of the American boys in France and in honor of our Keystone Division. When news, bulletins, newspaper headlines, and col umns of newspaper space are devoted to the valor of the American boys in France —and the sweeping aside of the hordes of Huns in the face of the much heralded gigantic drive—and when we read of our own Keystone Division being in the thickest of the fray, with scores of our boys cited for bravery in action— "lsn't it a grand and glorious feeling?' 1 Our eyes grow moist and our chests swell with eino tion as we read paragraph after paragraph about going over the top and.gaining objiective after objective—and tens of thousands of us at home instinctively wonder if Al and Ed, Harry and Fred were in this mighty battle, which is proving to be an offensive by the Allies in place of a defensive one, and may be the decisive battle that will make Kaiser Bill see the "handwriting on the wall." Our troops have turned the tide toward Victory.

It was a tale of splendid victory and daring that news reports and | even the terse official statements told. Hour by hour the extent of I the victory grew. What the full ef ! feet of the blow will be cannot be estimated until details of the action along the Vhole 25-mile front from ! Chateau Thierry to Soissons from which the surprise attack was launched are available. It was clear beyond mistake, how ;e\er, that in the rush of the first day of this answer of General Koch to 1 the German attack east and west of Rheims, the enemy had been placed in a position from which he may ' have great difficulty in extricating | himself. Not only may the Ger man effort west of Rheims and south 'of the Marne be ' wholly nullified, but all they have accomplished since Celebrate the Victory • By Buying More Thrift Stamps the battle of the Aisne began months ago may be overturned. There was little effort here to day to measure the scope of the Frarico-American stroke. Officers were too vitally interested in the swift 'development of the attack as it was unfolded, bulletin by bulle tin. to devote much time to cold calculations sueh as form the basis for military predictions. It was the instant news that held them, from General March to the junior staff officers, and the War Department was a place of smiles and hand grips as the l>oys overseas wrote new and glorious pages in American history. Secretary Baker had difficulty in holding himself to cool unhurried expression, as he dictated to the newspaper men late In the day a statement summarising General Pershing's brief reports.

Major 'Counter Stroke During the day Secretarv Baker. General March and War Department officials generally spent much time over the maps. They read everv detail of the accounts 'brought in over the wires and time after time all other business halted while the swiftly changing battle front was I traced out. Until late in the night, I officials were awake receiving every report that came In. I A most promising consideration of the counter attack, officers believe. JSjoamanZ HAIIHISBIHti, FRIDAY. Jl I.Y lit, lUIB. aside from renewed proof of the fighting qualities of the new Ameri can armies, is the fact that General Foch now has sufficient force to unloose a major counter stroke, for the present blow is nothing less than that, however limited its tlxed ob jectives for the day may been. The supreme commander now has shown clearly that a definite turn ing point has been reached where hit. resources in men and munitions are great enough for him to assume at ltast an aggressive defense. If the present Franco-American thrust should realize all the possi bilities seen in It by observers abroad and force the Germans out of the whole Aisne-Marne salient, it seems highly probable to officials here that General Foch might feel warranted in expanding that success through offensive operations on other fronts. It was suggested last night that a thrust from the British front on "a far wider scale than anything at tempted there since the great Ger man assault began last March might develop as a cotnpanlon piece to the Franco-American efforts. In that case, it was said, it would be clear that the tide of battle had definitely turned and the German dri\e of 101S, their greatest military effort of the war and the campaign on which they have counted to I achieve victory by arms, had been i defeated. French Counter Is Great Surprise to Germans liOiulon, July 19.—French coun ter battery work tvas exceedingly effective. Enemy aviators entered into the action and attempted to impede the advance, using their ma chine guns at low altitude. JULY 19, 1918". Notwithstanding this, the .counter attack was noteworthy for the rea son that the French offensive ac complished a great deal more than was achieved by the German drive on both sides of Kheims. The length of the front over tfhich an advance was made virtually was the same, and the French and Americans workin gtogether advanced In six hours virtually double the distance covered by the Germans in three days. So far as known at present, the junction line between Solssons and oukhy-Le-Chateau and also the junction line between Solssons and Flsmes are under direct obesrvation an dfire from the new French posi tions on the Crise ravine. These two lines are the only lines by which the Germans In this salient between Solssons and Kheims can be sup plied.

S ' Z^ connecting up their lines In another The French counter Is regarded here as one of the most brilliant pieces of work In the war, and tt la believed that the results will prove extremely valuable, as the French have obtained most important strat egic positions. In London the view is held that the advance has *put an end to the German offensive for the present and that Rhelms can be considered com paratively safe. The French have reached all their first objectives. South of the Marne much local fighting is reported. The French have lost some ground, but are still within effective range of the Ger man bridges across the river, though it Is possible they may have lost di rect observation. Further to the cast the allis have regained ground In a good many sectors, especially in the sector west of Massiges. FOUNDED 1871 3
