Allied Drive Pushes Germans Back in France and Palestine
Reports from the front describe failures for the central powers across Europe and the Middle East. Allied forces under French and American command advance along a 40 mile sector from the Suippe to the Meuse, threatening German bases at Somme Py and Chaillrange while pushing toward St Quentin. In Palestine, General Allenby defeats Turkish forces from Jaffa to Acre, captures Nazareth, Haifa, and Caesarea, and drives the Turkish army toward retreat as British and Arab forces threaten Daman, with large prisoner totals and near-total collapse of several Turkish units. Serbia and Greece also gain ground against the central powers, crossing rivers, seizing supplies, and invading Bulgarian positions near Strumnitza. The pace of combat remains high as morale and strategic positions shift across multiple theaters.
