It C BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. has been a twelve months of alternate Shifting their blows to the south-, hope and concern for the powers ‘of the entente alliance. It_was an July 28, 1914, that Austria declared war on Serbia, beginning. the great struggle. During the past twelve months*there have been oc- currences that in seme aspects have been of even greater import in their influence upon the world than those in the preceding period. Russia’s col- lapse; the Italian defeat last “autumn, the stupendous drives of the Germans against the allied armies, and the wonderful defensive operations that have again and again checked the en- -emy when, success for him seemed near at hand have. held the world breathless. But, transcending the sig- nificance any event in Che actual thea- tres of the war, America’s full parti- cipation in the conflict, involving the transportation overseas of more than a million men to engage in it must ing feature of the fourth year of the struggle. It is upon America that the entente is relying for the men and ‘Te- sources to turn. the tide. A year ago the number of American troops going’ to: Europe had not be- gun’ to assume. large proportions. A few regulars and some national guardsmep: had “been sent, to France. but. most ofthe’ big’ military ‘training camps were still being built and the when. selected. as. the first contingéar to be called.to the colors were still in citizen’s..elothes:.

During the recent fighting in France | the work of the American soldiers | has compared favorably with that of| other fighting men in the world. They | have held sectors here and there along | the front. They are in Alsace and) northward in the Lorraine sector. The famous St. Mibtel sector is held; by Americans, who are-posted also 0! jthe line along the heights of the! Meuse. East of Rheims they took part! in the fighting during the last phase, {of the German offensive, while in the; |Chateau-Theirry sector they held the line in a vitak region against the ut-| most fury of the Teutonic onslaught. | North of Chateau Thierry, Americans | helped to stop the drive of the Ger-; mans in the early days of June; and! in ‘the Somme sector, at Cantigny and | Grivesnes they have given proof of their soldierly qualities. The allies have been called upon to! face two great offensives during the past year. The first of these camé) last October in Italy and the second,/ in France, began on March 21. The, German drives in France, while sep) arated by periods of from a few days; to ‘several weeks, have: been consid- ered as different phases of the same; offensive..
