The opin ion is unanimous that the on ward smaehof Franco-Americans marks the first stage of the tide now moving to engulf Germany. The allies Upper hand grows more noticeable -as Hhe Americans continue to pour in. On all fighting fronts the allies' activities are .-victorious and significant. With the failure of the Ger man drive on Rheims, the vic torious counter blow toward Soissons, and -the Italian activity in Albania and at Pola. there is a possibility of more important events along the west front. Allied armies everywhere are straining at a lesh. eager to smash the Hun. Reports from Thursday s Franco-American at tack say 6000 Germans were captured ip to 3 o'clock Thurs day. It looks like the allies have hit the victory stride. 5 COLORED MFJC FROM uuimtto. CUED FRANCO-AMERICANS TAKE CITY, 30,000 WOK 2 O'CLOCK BULLETIN WASHINGTON. JULY 19.
