short. Cheruit's Introduction of the
polonaise that touches the hem of the

PARIS, April with Increased
nome ntum, the French army moving
between the Meuse and MoseIle riv-
ers Is smashing In the sides Of the
great German wedge, according to dis
patches from the battle front today.
At the other end of the battle line,
near the sea coast, the Belgian army
has scored a victory. The Belgians
last night attacked and dislodged a
German force which crossed the User
last week and occupied portions Of the
village of Drei Grachten. King Al
bert's troops captured three machine
guns.
Near Etain, thirteen miles northeast
of verdun, French troops stormed and
captured two German positions on the
hills. The advance was made in the
face Of murderous artillery fire that
swept the wooden hiIIsides free of
every vestige of foliage.
Important engagements are now be-
ina fought In the woods between Yer
dun and Pont-A-Mousson, it Is known
here, but the war office communique
this afternoon was almost devoid Of
information about the fighting in this
reolon. Announcement Of the Belgian
success along the User, OF the French
gains Of Etaln and Of slight French
successes near Eparges, were the fea-
tures Of the official statement.
