The statement says that the French attack was launched in the Champagne. The American army is attacking fur- ther to the east.

The attack by the French Army is progressing along a wide front. | The Champagne front extends from Rheims eastward almost to | Verdun, There thas been no Allied thrust in this sector since Foch begun | his great offensive moves in July, but attacks tnere logically follow suc- | cesses in Picardy in driving the Germans back to the Hindenburg. line from Arras to Laon and above the Marne, The offensive begun to-day is probably for the purpose of bencing back the German front between the Rheims and Verdun and compelling von Hindenburg to use up more of his dwindling reserves in Protecting his lightly held part of the front, A serious bend in the German front between Rheims and Verdun | would create a pocket in the Rheims area containing a dangerous threat of flanking operations against the Hindenburg line from the south. A drive northward in Champagne threatens the communication lings tin the rear of the Hindenburg defen system, where the Germans are | struggling to keep the British and French from breaking through. | There has been rather lively raiding activity by both sides on the Champagne front in the last two weeks and some military commentators have felt that these were the forerunners of J The American line east of the Moselle nds in practically a straight line from Van to Nomeny, It averages from a mile and a half from the German border, | BERLIN, and Americans He: In the fig effecting small br mime, tatement Sept in Le ire of oselle, is tifty French reported in to- (via London).—T east of the M succeeded in ancilly and the rench een Fr —_——- - —__—.
