fighting does not consist of one sus-

river Aisne.
Each encounter. however, influ-
ences the execution of the general
idea of the commander-in-chief of
the allied armies. Attacks and coun-
ter-attaeks follow one another In
rapid succession every hour out Of the
twenty-four.

An account OF the five days battle

gwen By a French officer who arrived
IN Paris today.
~On the morning of the fourteenth" !"
the officer said, the Germans called
halt, but by afternoon the battle had
become general All the next day the
battle was OF ding-dong nature, the
Germans evidently awaiting reinforce
ments
During the night, however. they
delivered furious attack on the ex-
IRENE left but the British and French
troops CALAMITY met the onslaught,
repulsIng the Germans no fewer than
len times. with fearful losses.
The Germans still came on, how
ever, seeking to pierce the French
line. There had been nothing like 1t
since the beginning of the campaign.
The enemy hurled dense masses Of
troops at us in supreme endeayor to
lheck our forward progress, but when
dawn came we still held the position
ard even had gained ground slightly.
The artillery duel WAS so1tluucd
throughout the next day. The morn
ng Of the seventeenth again saw des-
pirate fighting. This time we threw
the Germans back some ten kilome-
ieis, capturing 600 men and many
