given last night TO the German for
ces entrenched along the ninety mile
front running along the rivers Aisne
and Disc, and extending into the
Woevre district.
The batteries of the allied forces
never entirely ceased firing all night
The Germans occupying the tren-
ches kept constantly on the alert,
and until 2 am. today no aggressive
move was started from the allies
lines facing them. Then all the
allied batteries seemed to open fire
together. At the western end of
/ the line the allied infantry gathered
I in the trenches and simultaneously
at pari i2ns points crept out and ad-
vanced cautiously in wide open lines
i towards the German positions.
Allies Gain A Little
The French and British on)several
occasions succeeded in surprising
and driving back the occupants of
the German trenches, but only after
the most stubborn fighting and
heavy losses to both sides. In
every instance the allied troops re-
tained the ground captured ard i'm.
meciately dug themselves in.
German Attack Fails.
Further east the Germans deve-
loped a strong attack, but were
beaten back With the bayonet only
TO return again and again, to be
finally driven off to their original
positions. The allied commanders
were able to give-@the troops who
had been occupying the advance
firing line welcome rest. pushing
to the front fresh brigades OF bat
teries hitherto held in reserve and
winch were only to anxious to come
Finto actual contact.
Military experts estimate that
nearly two million or more men are
at the scene where the battle has
been in progress ten days.
