BLUNDERING IN THE DARK.
GERMAN FAILURE AT RHEIMS. London, June 20. Renter's correspondent at Paris reports that the attack on Rheims was a heavy and complete enemy defeat. The Germans counted on surprising the French. A veritable deluge of gas shells preceded the attack. The line nowhere igave way. The German losses were ap- | palling. i La Liberte comments:—"The affair i shows that the enemy wil! never be able to break through when the French re- [ serves are available. The stvategy of Foch is beginning to bear fruit." The Temps, however, regards the abortive attempt against Rheims as a big local operation, and thinks it nay ,be a wily move on the part <f the eaemy to precede his big operations by [a local action on a more or less evtan<ljed scale on another part of the line to that chosen for tho main operation.
