I'l'ARFNTLY the new Franro-
Ameriran attack between Reims
and Verdun it a wUjor offen-
ivt. rrobahly it is tne aauu trom
which will develop the final general
buttle of the campaign of 1V18.
Details of the first days fighting
had not come through when this wis
written, but the front of attack, fortv
miles, the artillery preparation which
preceded it. and the fact that Ameri-
ans and 1-rcnch shared in the enter
prise are all points eitabimung a big
impose behind the ettort.
The front runt from the suippes
river, east ot Keimt, to tne iweuse
iver, which cut the old V enlnn salient,
n the renter of'thit line is tint great
Argonne forest, which forms a natural
ti vision of thu sector into two parts.

and the Argonnt, it being handled by
he French, while oar boys ire work

as the river near Verdun.
fieneral Gouraud, brought the Hun
kwn quickly in the only big effort that
has been made by either tide to ad
vance in this territory this yeax. ueur
atid's success in July paved the way tor
the first offensive by Marhal l-och
July 18. In the. second year of the
war the I rcijch made an attack in this
area which fell short. The territory
around the Meiise we know well from
the bloodv eltorts ot the crown prince
to take the hills and envelop erdun
from the north and west.
Ihe big possibility in a major often
sive here is that Marshal I'ocn will
ruin the Meuse line, on which river It
is expected that the enemy will huild
up Ins position in case bit Hinrifnbar
arc is cut throuwh. The eastern en
of the sector under fire runs-up the
Meuse rivet. If must be admitted that
the terrain adjoining the Meuse is very
difficult and that the probability is that
the big gams will come nearer Keims.
If the French can sat forward twelve
miles from Serven, which was reported
m allied hands last nighr,,1hey will be
in Vomieres, an important junction
point for latrral railroad lines on
which the Germans as far west as I.aon
depend for supplirs. Crossing the tu
ply lines with a wedge carrying
menace of a turning morYmrnt, would
almost certainly dislocate the whole
Laon semicircle, causing an immediate
readjustment. The road from Met to
l.aon is the direct road from Germany.
It is the main artrrv of German com
munication. The effect of the loss of
these lines to the foe can hardly be
overestimated.
Whether the American army has
taken over a section of the line west
irf Verdun, or is being used solely as
reserve troops in this new offensive, is
problematical. The American lector is
