Battle in Argonne.
Rivalling in Importance the battle in
Flanders is the struggle which is rap
idly reaching its height in the Argonne
region. where the French right is
faced by new and considerable bodies
of German troops.
Today in the Argonne forests and on
the heights and in the ravines to the
east of the wooded sections, the fight
ing was very spirited. Sapping opera
tions were conducted by both armies
and the troops are given no rest, day
or night
The forest of Grurie was the thea
ter of the most deadly combats of the
long battle. No great bodies of troops
were engaged in a mighty struggle
such as is proceeding in the open coun-
try in Flanders, but myriad small de-
tachments, of French infantry, dis
mounted cavalry and even of marine
fusilliers are engaged in the perilous
task of fighting similar detachments of
Germans.
Cannon Duel Heavy.
On what is now the center the ar
tillery is heavily engaged and the
Aisne and the Champagne region rum
bles with the continuous erash OF the
cannon. Several days ago the war Of
flee announced the French gunners
were winning an advantage over the
Germans, and today the official state
ments record the dispensing of NUM-
Der of gatherings of the enemy by
shells from the heavy artillery behind
the French lines.
