There is no question now of the war ending by a single stroke in the enemy's favour. With resources and resolution those who would protect Western Civilisation are confronting the Germans.

On the extreme right the Franco-British are gallantly holding the line in front of Rheims.

Yesterday the French stormed and cap tured a group of hills north of Rheims on the bank of the Aisne, known as the Couroy Horsemen.
