The news from the Western front to-day borders on. the sensational, judging from tho possibilities revealed in the developments of the. situation in the Marne salient, which is daily resembling' more a pocket the . mouth of which the flics' are rapidly closing. The base of the salient is now under the direct fire of the A'rlied batteries, and the German food • supply communications are in a perilous plight. The imminence, of a big German disaster has. been responsible for. many sensational reports. According to a cablegram from Wasftinjjton there is no confirmation of a ' report from London of a great British coup, but e. profound impression has been created in New.York, the general feeling of optimism being re-' ' fleeted in the buoyancy.of stocks i:i Wall Street..
