Attack Expected On British Front As FrancoAmerican Offense Shifts
London reports that the Franco American counteroffensive reshapes the Champagne front. German lines from Chateau Thierry to Rheims rely on rail supplies now controlled by the French, forcing long road hauls and likely a retreat to a new, easier logistics line. The German effort appears turned to repulse, with French initiative dominant and prospects of a wider rout looming for Crown Prince Rupprecht’s northern army. The Bavarian crown prince Rupprrecht’s forces may attempt a fresh strike against the British front.
