SMASHING BLOWS ON GERMAN FRONT Smashing blows are being dealt the Germans on the western front and the collapse of the present enemy defense positions appears close at hand. In the Italian theatre hostilities were to end today ata3 p. m.?9 o'clcok Monday morning in the eastern United States?but up . to that hour the Italian ' and Allied 'firces continued to pre^s ^he A^-stri^n* on the entire fron^ the adyjp^s ,jpdicated , MftY On the northern end of the front ? * in rrnnce, Marshal Haig on Monday launched a new attack south of the Scheldt in the region of Valenciennes. The operation began successfully on a wide front and this vital sector of the German positions is in great peril. , The French army maintains its pressure but fighting activity is less than on Sunday and last week. German artillery has been active along the Aisne front, probably protecting an enemy retirement, which is inevitable in veiw of the Allied success north and east. General Pershing's armies are pressing forward east and west of the Meuse and the German ss apparently are not yet prepared to make a stand. Stenay and the gap in which it lies is being encircled and its fall would appear to be near. In the center of the sector west of | the Meuse the American first army has driven forward to Sammautho, 13 miles south of Sedan, the most important German railway center between Mezieres and Metz.
