LONDON. July 5.-The German forces

French troops could stop them had pene-
trated 44O yards along a front of one

the most successful the Germans have
made since their drive at ipres W
months ago. The official German state
ment reports that 1000 unwounded
French soldiers were made prisoners and
all the officers Of a battalion were cap
tured. The booty amounted to two field
guns, foul machine guns and three light
and four heavy mine throwers.
In the French attack on the 81. Mihiel
wedge nearly three months ago the Ger
mans were driven entirely out of the
positions they had held in Lee Pretre
forest. Since then there have been re-
ports Of isolated engagements in his
vicinity. but neither side has deemed 1t
advisable to launch a vigorous attack.
