FRENCH MAKE DENIAL
Of GERMAN VICTORY
Reports of Destruction of Two
Divisions of French Cavalry
Said to Be Erroneous

Paris, oct. IA. $40 P. M.-The fol-
lowing official announcement was
given out in Paris this afternoon:
In the Belgian field of operations
there were some encounters during the
night of October 1918 and during the
day of the 18th in the region around
Client. English and French troops
have occupied Ypres.
"First-On our left wing, as far as
Disc, the operations are developing
normally.
Second - On the center previous
reports of the progress of our armies
in the region of Berry -au-Bac have
been confirmed.
"Third-On our right wing there is
nothing new.
While it is not our custom to reply
to the inaccuracies of the German
press, it seems to us proper to de-
nounce the false news published in
certain German newspapers concern
ing the pretended destruction of two
divisions of French cavalry. This in
formation is absolutely erroneous The
truth is that certain forces of French
and German cavalry, with supports,
have been engaged for several days
along the front at La Bassee, Estaires
and Bailleul The German cavalry
succeeded in making a very slight ad-
vance between the canal of La Bassee
and the Lys, but they were obliged to
draw back in the territory north of
Lys.
THE losses sustained by the Ger
man cavalry are assuredly as per-
ceptible as our own. One of the Ger
man divisions suffered particularly be-
cause it was pursued during one ehtire
day by our aviators who did not cease
to throw bombs down upon the Ger
man troops.
Deny Nerdun Story
Another case is the fact that the
Germans announce they are undertake
ing the investment of Verdun. In this
instance, also. to learn the truth. it is
sufficient to refer to the situation as
set forth on several different occasions
in the French official communications
The Germans have not succeeded. M
to the present time, in hurting them
selves against the fortified position of
Nerdun. They have, however, made
two futile efforts to envelope at a
considerable distance. the French
forces which are operating around
Verdun. One of these efforts was
characterized by their attempt to go
through the Argonne forest between
Binarville and Varennes. It will be
recalled that this movement failed,
with very important losses. We did not
even announce at the time that two
German battalions had been ami
hilated in this engagement.
'The other enveloping movement
on the part of the Germans, under
taken in much greater numerical
strength, was directed toward crossing
the Meuse in the region of st. Mihiel
IF the Germans succeed in reaching
this river on the front between Maizey
and Chauvoncourt all t,Ieir efforts to
advance farther resulted in failure
The German forces found themselves
caught on the flank by detachments of
our troops, which advanced from the
south to the north through the south
ern section of the heights of the Meuse
and through the southern section of
the WoeVre district"

Only the extremely superstitious will

people know that there are so many
comets, five or six being discovered

would be strange if big war were to

Nevertheless. in view. of the immem-
