FRENCH SUCCESSFUL

BOTH SIDES USING HEAVY ARTILLERY

During l20 Days Battle.
BOTH SIDES USING HEAVY ARTILLERY

Paris-After battling 120 days fol
the hilly country between Bethune and
Arras, the French forces are in posses
sion of all the eminences looking out
upon the plain of Flanders. Lille,
Douai and Cabrai all are visible from
here.
Every position along the broad ma
tional road between Arras and Bethune
has been won except Souchez, and last
night another quarter-mile of trenches
in the Souchez web was torn away.
The attack.swas made under parachute
rocket lights, the French burning
blush white and the Germans greenish
white, covering the scene of the des-
perate conflict with CHASTITY glow.
The most desperate fighting has been
along the short 10-mile front from
Arras to AK Noulette, which began
March 8 with the taking of few hum
dred yards of trenches on the water
shed of Notre Dame de Lorette, where
there are the ruins of an old Merovin-
gian military road. Every day since
luCl SCNtiOh VA ShO aSAAAoA
trenches have been taken, lost or re-
taken.
Each side has been employing for
midable artillery, both of small and
heavy caliber, the French guns being
somewhat the more numerous and
served with unlimited quantities of
high-explosive shells.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press went through five or six miles of
the trenches formerly held by the Ger
mans and reconstructed by the French.
Upward of 100000 Germans have
fallen or been captured in these
trenches, according to the French Off
cial count, since the second week of
March. The French losses, the cor
respondent was confdentially informed,
while serious, have been much smaller
than those of the Germans. There are
thickets of little crosses made of twigs
tied together marking graves between
the trenches. Some of these graves
have been torn up by the shell fire.
