Effort to Break Through French Army On Fifty Mile Front
London reports the German offensive on a fifty mile front as a supreme effort to break through and defeat a large part of the French army. Experts differ whether the aim was to exhaust French reserves near Amiens or to widen a route toward Paris. Morning papers show optimism as enemy attacks east of Amiens are repulsed with heavy losses. Americans repelled a south of the Marne assault, while infantry fighting on the Campagne front died down.
