WITH THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE SOMME. Nov. , fVia Chantilley. from staff correspondent of the Associated Press).-The battle today in the district between Saillisel and St. Pierre Vaast wood was fought without the assistance of aeroplanes. The wind blowing so miles an hour prevented the planes from ascending and consequently the artillery fire from a hundred German batteries as well as from the French and British was uncontrolled aerially Every inch of the battle ground was a dan ger spot and the correspondent of the Associated Press and other cor respondents were compelled to take shelter in a dugout.
 When the French infantry attacked trenches with trench mortars and rison, which in one part surrendered in a body with their officers, more than five hundred running at a rae ing pace into the French lines and for two miles and half to the rear accompanied by only half D dozen French guns. It was a strange sight when they ran the gauntlet of the German barring fire.
 St Vaast is more than two kilo- meters square with many positions enfilading each other and proved a most difficult problem for the French. But French infantry finally rushed the place and held il with slight losses The battle continues into the night
