The Allied counter-offensive on the Marne has been proceeding successfully and it now appears that Germany has definitely lost the campaign of 1918. By using the large number of American divisions in France and his French colonial troops as an army of manoeuvre Germany has achieved one of the great strategic triumphs of the war and has made it impossible for the enemy to enforce a military decision. The Allied line has been advanced not only between the Marne and the Aisne, but also farther north, on the front from Albert south to the Oise. The Germans were still holding the Chaules-Roye-Noyon line and stiffening their defense along the front from Noyon to Chaulnes.
