PLANTATION of the French position in
the forest of Argonne was given out
here. II said:
The fighting line has not changed
perceptibly In the last two months.
The French and German trenches are
separated at some points by a distance
not exceeding fifty yards Infantry
fire is constantly going on, while all
the expedients of siege operations are
being utilized. Daily engagements oc-
cur, resulting sometimes in bending
either the French or the German lines
back for a distance of $50 yards.
The casualties have been heavy for
both armies. but the German losses
certainly have been greater than those
Of the French"
This explanation was brought forth
by the publication in the German press
Of statement to the effect that the
French had been driven out of the Ar
gonne, while the siege OF Verdun was
proceeding. Regarding the latter state
ment, 1t is declared that the French
are advancing.
