ALLIES DEFINITELY HOLD INITIATIVE EVERYWHERE.
.'ENEMY LIKELY TO FALL BACK FROM CHATEAU THIERRY FURTHER PRONOUNCED 'FRENCH ADVANCE PROBABLE. Time,. (Received 1065 p.m.) LONDON, July 22. Mr Gerald Campbell, writing on Sunday, states: The initiative everywhere remains with the allies. The attack is proceeding on a front of 80 miles. Owing to the re-establishment of Chateau Thierry as a solid pivot, it is probable that the enemy will be forced to fall back before General de Goutte's army in the sector from Chateau Thierry to Villiers Cottereta Forest. Otherwise he will be obliged to defend an awkward salient. A pronounced French advance is more likely here immediately than further north. The British after some advance between the Marne and Rheims are meeting with strong opposition near Marfaux.
