LONDON. Sept. 2S.-Slight addi-
tional progress along the French front
was recorded in this afternoons on
cial Paris communication, dealing
with the great Anglo-French offensive,
but there is evidence that the Germans
have recovered from the first blows
and are now holding their own at
most sectors Of the battle front.
The French communication was
brief. It reported gains in both the
Artois and the Champagne region. but
laid stress upon the strength of the
German positions now being attacked
in the Champagne. thereby giving
warning that no crushing defeat Of the
Teutons must be expected.
Early this afternoon, neither the
British nor the German war office
official statement on the last twenty
four hours fighting IN France and
Flanders had been made public. What
occurred last night in the violent bat
Ting on the British front is not deiin-
itely known.
Military critics here. however, do
not expect any smashing gains through
the German line. such as were re-
ported on the first day Of the British
attack. They believe that the British
onslaughts are directed largely for
the purpose of drawing off German re-
serves TO the British front. thus ell
abling the French TO continue their at
itacks around Souchez with better pros
poets of success.
