g!on OF the Roye or between the
somme and the oise. There is much
speculation on tnis phase Of the
fighting in that vicinity, which can
have a greatly varied importance.
Tie familiarity of the French
with the territory is frequently OF
considerable advantage to them.
The marshes OF st. Gond, near the
Petit NORM river are perfectly solid
in dry season and the Germans here
have made all preparations for an
important surprise attack. The
night before this was to occur a
heavy rain made the swamp regu-
lar lake andt urned the position to
the disadvantage of the Germans.
The French merely stuck to their
position and while the enemy was in
great distress in the soggy ground
annihilated large numbers with
their artillery fire.
The digging of false trenches and
all kinds of efforts which Will re-
dound to advantage are being resort
ed TO by one side or the other.
The list of dead printed in news
papers are growing. They, some
times, furnish the only ncws of the
soldiers since their departure TO the
front.
