The Battle of the Marne was downplayed in US newspapers while it was trumpeted in Canadian newspapers. Later, when the US 1st Army was attacking into Kentucky, Major Abner Dowling tried to warn General George Armstrong Custer of the Confederate build up in Hopkinsville, stating that they faced an even bigger embarrassment than the Germans faced at the Marne river if they chose to ignore it.
