UTTER GERMAN FAILURE
EMPHASISED BY ALL REPORTS
COLOGNE GAZETTE'S ADMISSION.
(Received July 19; 1 p.m.)
LONDON, 18th July.
Every hour's news from the front emphasises the utter failure-of the Germans to recover from the first checks inflicted on them east and west of Reims. Even the Cologne Gazette, in an inspired article, admits that there has been no success, and attributes the German failure to the changed tactics of the French, who delivered fierce counter-attacks with their reserves. They thus upset the plans of the High Command, who expected the same easy advance as was made on tho Chemin dcs Dames. The Cologne Gazette saya that the Gorman losses were within moderate limits, and this is a significant admission, because it has always been announced formerly that the losses were considerably fewer than the enemy's.
