ALLIES RESUME ADVANCE
After a lull following the fierce fighting that has been going on constantly for two weeks, the Allies again started an advance against the Germans on a front of 10 miles this afternoon and this evening are reported to have made substantial gains. The Huns are reported to be moving their heavy guns and burning villages in the rear, evidently preparing to retreat still further as their present positions are believed to be untenable.
It Emperor William has again attempted to cheer up the spirits of his people with the same old promise that the submarines will end the war in his favor, but he admits, in his proclamation that the United States is a powerful factor which will be hard to overcome and that the present crisis is the most trying to the German cause since the war began.
The situation on the western front is satisfactory. The Allies are gaining slowly. The Germans have made no gains that they could hold, in the past 10 days, and have been driven back more than 15 miles since the counter-offensive of the Allies began. That the Allies are encouraged and the Germans greatly discouraged by the events of the past two weeks is evident from the news coming from the capitals of the warring countries.
