A sentence III the night CofmmuniQua
may have been a guarded admission
by the government that a detachment
OF French troops was annihiiated to-
day at Ch4pvoncourt, the only posi-
ton held by The Germans on the left
bank of the Meuse. and across the
river from ST. Mihlel. The conn
munique states that tho Germans
blew up the western part Of the Wiz

from the west when they occupied

The report of the afternoon was
substa ntially that the incessant col-
iissi0n Of infantry and the increasing
y violent artillery fighting have pro-
duced no decisive result, but have
been generally favora BILE 10 the Allies.
An interesting feature of the report
was the plain indication that the Al

spirited counter-nttack when the on.

Zouaves. who have distinguished them

the Germans at the point of the bay
onet from a wood which had been con-
tested for three days. No effort by
the Germans could dislodge the
British from their defense of Ypres.
II Is noted that the French artillery
has once more shown it's superiority
over the German cannon in the very
heavy lighting along the hills of Cham

OF Nerdun, the French appear to be
ready for AN assault on the German
