Foch urged to strike in 48 hours as British hold line
Washington reports Field Marshal Haig must press the offensive soon or risk German breakthrough in northern France. Experts say Haig has used all reserves, including American troops, with Hindenburg funneling 106 divisions into the fray and more ready to be deployed.
