the Anglo-French force, which a
week ago crossed the river Aisne In
the face Of a whitening fire from the
German guns, now holds the heights

Main Attack ON German Left
From this Il Is gathered that the
main French attaek ls directed against
the German left with the object Of
driving Il back towards EtenaT and
Sedan. thus cutting its line of COM

count for the strong relnforcements
estimated at 10000 men, that have
been sent to support General Won
kluek, who is making such stub
