PARIS. Nov. Sin place OF the usual
afternoon comnurique tho French War
Office gave out an official summary OF
the operations on the western front dur
ing the week ended yesterday. the
feature OF this resume being the asser-
ton that the morale Of the Kaiser's
troops in the west is shaken. The pres
tige OF their commanders also is said to
be sorely impaired
To improve the spirit OF the troops,
the Wal Office asserts, is the main
reason for the persistent though thu
far frultless German attacks in the
Arto,s and Champagne. The statement
adds the Kaiser hoped to serve the
same purpose by sending troops from
the Russian front TO the west. the vet
being imbued with n more victorious
spirit. In this also the German General
Staff failed. II is asserted. the Teutonic
offensive having nowhere at ANY time
assumed a more than local character.
As for the French che statement
points to steady gains made in Cham
payne. Tho War Office adds that many
of the German soldiers fghtine now in
the west are young and uninstruuted
landsturm men,
