New Enemy Drive Near Front as Critics Predict Greatest War Battle
London reports German forces attacked near Bligny eight miles southwest of Reims and briefly gained footing before a vigorous French counterattack under Foch restored the line. British raids near Morlancourt and Bucquoy captured prisoners while a German assault west of Morris was repulsed. Analysts foresee a major western drive, possibly around Amiens, with German reserves estimated at 500 000 to 600 000. American artillery lauded for accuracy and rapid fire. U S front quiet, Pershing says.
