THE KEYSTONE OF THE WEST FRONT
(Received September 28, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, 27th September. The New York Times correspondent at Washington says : The opinion of military officials here is that the keystone of the great German defence arch on the West front is now under assault in the latest Franco-American offensive in the Champagne. This region, selected* by General Foch for the attack, is considered by military experts to have the widest Strategic possibilities. General Pershing's communique announcing an important American victory in' the Verdun region was received with the greatest satisfaction and elation by the military officials and in diplomatic circles. The success is considered one of the most notable advances since General Foch's offensive started.
