Rheims-Charleville Railway.
The object Of the French attacks was
either to capture or destroy this Chal-
lerange- Bazancourt branch. or TO con-
troll II by their artillery fire.
This prize was the incentive for the
furious fighting of the first days of tho
drive. when tho most terrific fighting
Of tho Champagne battle occurred in
the vicinity Of Tahure.
Tahure is built on n low hill about
$50 feet high. To the north the ground
slopes away gently and spreads out
into level plain. Along this plain,
and distant only three miles from the
summit Of the hill. which is now in
French hands. lies the coveted railway
line. within easy range for several
miles both east and west.
Aside from hampering the supply OF
the troops, continued occupation by
the French of this position will strike
at the very core Of the German system
OF defense, for II is upon facility for
movement OF reserves behind the first
lines that the German commanders de-
pend for their support IN time of
urgent need. While a motor ira ffc has
been developed TO a high state of eff
cheney to supply this need. the rail-
ways arc still a necessity.
Fighting on tho remainder of tho
front has been confined TO artillery
comhats. which have ragged with par
ticular violence in the Artois sector
and about the Glvenchy woods where
the French and Germans for the pa st
few days have won and lost trenches
