PARIS. oct. lin spite of vigorous
counter attacks by the Germans at rari-
Gus points of the line and heavy bom-
bariment by the German artillery the
French advance has not Vet been
brought to a stop. and all the efforts
of the enemy to retake tie offensive
have been frustrated The weather con-
ditons. upon which to a great degree
the success ~. the allied offensive de-
p.nds, appear to be- excellent along
much of the front. If the activity Of
British and French aircraft may be
taken as criterion.
German counter attacks in the Gi-
venchy wood have failed to drive the
French from their newly conquered po-
,itions. and some additional progress
has been made in this region. In
Champagne further German counter at
;acks have been stopped and the French
have added both to their booty in guns
and to the number OF prisoners taken.
