THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, Omaha, Nebraska, July 17, 1918

* 2nd battle of the Marne begins
* World War I - WWI


This 12 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page: "AMERICANS TAKE 4 TOWNS; CHECK GERMANS AT MARNE" with subheads. Lots of World War I coverage including the beginning of the second battle of the Marne.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Light browning, minor margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.

wikipedia notes: The Second Battle of the Marne (French: 2e Bataille de la Marne), or Battle of Reims (15 July-6 August 1918) was the last major German Spring Offensive on the Western Front during the First World War. The German attack failed when an Allied counterattack led by French and American forces overwhelmed the Germans, inflicting severe casualties.
