WAR SUMMARY.

London today permitted it to be known that. American troops in con> siderabi enumber are on the battle lines in Picardy and Flanders. The lull before the new storm in the; west .continues, but the third great German onslaught is expected momentarily, and both the British and French are thoroughly prepared to meet it. Among military men the majority view is that the great blow will be struck between Arras and the Somme, so as to push the British army between th©. Amiens and Flanders wedges westward to a level with these wedges. The British by a series of strong local attacks on a forty-mile front have materially improved their positions and calmly await Von Hindenburg’s next move.
