Where previously the Germans had thrown men into the fray,! not counting the prodigious wastage, Tuesday saw them decline anywhere to give battle, On the contrary, the British and. French truops took the initiative. ‘Thus it seems apparent, with the reserve forces of the entente virtually intact and with the added weight General Pershing’s troops will give. them, the turn in the tide of the battle is at hand.
