 "Second.-Along our center hard fights were engaged between La Fere Champenoise and Vftry-le- Francois and at the southern point of the Argonne ridge. We have not been repulsed at any point, and the enemy has lost ground around the edges of Vitry-le- Francois, where a retreating move ment by the enemy was clearly observ- ed to be established.
 1'Third.-On our right the German al vision attacked us along the line pass ing through Chateau Salins and Nancy, but 1t was repulsed north of the For est Champenoux. Elsewhere, farther to the east, our troops retook the crest of Mandray and the pass of Forneux.
