STRONG ADVANCES BY ALLIES
DIFFICULT PROBLEM FOR THE ' CROWN PRINCE' FURTHER RAIDS ON AMERICAN SHIPPING A definite etotement is mode by the French Premier to-day that the military crisis on the Marnc. which had been grave, is now over. The Germans are held, and, more important and significant, tho Germans themselves state that '-'the enemy (the Allies) have made strong advances at several points." The Crown Prince is faced, with the problem of manoeuvring his.masses in a very restricted salient, which he has no apparent prospect of enlarging. The submarine campaign off the Ameri- ■ can coast has assumed rather the aspect of a definite plan tha.n a raid. So far as is known 17,000 tons of shipping has been torpedoed. The Franco-Greek oifensivo in the Balkans, is, according to the news from Macedonia to-day, quite a. serious affair for tho Bulgars, who have lost positions of great tactical value. Viscount French has issued a proclamntion'in Ireland, calling for volunteers for the fighting line. The proclamation is construed by the Irish Press as the abandonment of con6ci'iption.
