From Nieuport to the Vosges, the Allied armies in 1917 liberated the Ypres region in Belgium, and about 500 French districts, in Artois, Picardy, Champagne and north of Verdun. We have advanced everywhere, and almost nowhere have we retreated. In Italy, two and a half years of success were compromised by defeatist propaganda, but the enemy's effort has now been halted. After causing us concern, Greece is lending us reliable support. The British have advanced into the north of Palestine and occupied Jerusalem. Anarchy, abetted by the enemy's intrigues, has rendered Russia incapable of defending itself. But Germany has seen almost the whole of America rise against it and has lost almost all its colonies. On the map of the world we can look with pride at the number of nations who are helping us to win at this time.") announcing the progress made during 1917.
