FROM THE BATTLE FRONT
(via Paris). Oct. 21.--The German
invaders arc meeting a vigorous re-
distance in their effort to shorten
their lines and rest their right wing
farther southwestwsrd upon the Eng
lish channel. Much of the fighting
is being done In the obscurity Of fogs.
French marines yesteraay gave a good
account Of themselves, German troops
tried p surprise attack on the marines
Sunday, but the French force held the
field works against superior numbers.
The fighting lasted all day and then the
Germans contented themselves with cam
nonading the position OF the marines

such weather conditions. crept toward

Thick Fog Covers Region.
The marines got within thirty feet Of
the trenches before they were seen.
Their coming was heraided too late for
tho defenders. who were bayoneted in the
trenches and as they ran. Four hundred
German prisoners were taken.
One Of the places where the French
had been most harassed is nearer the
elbow OF the western line. The important
position there had been taken and re-
taken frequently during the last three
weeks. Every time the Germans had been
obliged TO abandon the position they re-
turned In greater force and pushed back
the French by weight Of numbers.
The French took the position for the
twelfth time and held Il ten hours. Then
came shock OF the human battering
ram, and the French gradually gave way.
The Germans began fortifying the plae. ;.
but while they were engaged In this task
the earth heaved and there was a deaf
ening explosion. The ten hours the
French had held the point had been suffi-
Client to mine every rod Of the ground.
II is estimated that three German bat
talions were annihilated
The strength Of the German position
north of Roye which facilitated their
movements toward Lille, Il explained by
the fact that they were occupying an
unfinished canal extending as far as Roi-
sci. The Germans found In the deep,

teries OF artillery.
Ammunition supply Depleted,
Officers of the allies say they have
noted that only about 40 per cent of the
shells from these guns exploded. They
also say that the prodlgality OF the fire
from them apparently has depleted the
Germans supply of ammunition, as the
intensity of the fire lately has diminished.
Tho French artillerymen are 30 careful
in getting their ranges that they waste
few shells. In an artillery duel near
Armentieres the Germans fired for half
a day into thickets that had been aban-
doned some time before.
