THE WAR TODAY

The great drive Of the entente

ing important headway i'm the
Champagne region Of France.
Paris claims q notable advance
and Berlin comedies that the
French have gained ground. an
nouncing the Hill No. 19l, north
OF Massiges, has been lost TO the
French.
1t is likewise admitted by the
German army headquarters that
French troops succeeded in pen
etrating the German lines in two
small sections near S0uehez, south
Of Lens, in the Artois region.
French attacks south of Arras
we're easily repulsed, while a brig
ade that pushed through the Ger
man enter line at one point iii the
champagne was broken up, SEQ
men being captured and the others
destroyed, Berlin declares. The
Paris war office, in reporting the
advance in Champagne, announces
that a footing in the second Ger
man line Of defense was secured
at several points.
The district west Of Butte do
TauTe and that to the west Of the
Navarin farm are mentioned in
connection with The Champagne
advance. The French are declar-
ed even to have passed the Ger
man line in this latter region, but
were unable to hold on there be-
cause Of the heavy German artii-
lery fire. They maintained all the
second line points captured. how
ever it is claimed.
In this district the French are
pushing for the strategic railway
line just behind the German front,
and according 70 their claims must
now be very close 10 it. Airmen
have bombarded various stations
along this line.
Important supporting works
