The object of the German COM
mander is to secure control of the
Vaux ravine without which it is i'm
possible for him to force back the
French advanced line and begin an at
tack upon he main line of forts be-
tween Souville and Tavannes. The ra-
vine is closely boxed in by the Caillette
woods to the north and the Chapitre
woods to the south ard Hill SEQ, where
the French position forms its root to
the west. German alta ks here met
with certain measure of success, but
at heavy cost ana their footing is by
no means sure enough to prevent their
being dislodged by counter attacks
which it is believed the French will
not fail to make.
East of the ! ravire, however, the
enemy made no Roadway whatever.
Here the French lines which command
the approaches to Souville are under
attack. They rest on three woods,
F'umin to the left, Chenois to the right
and the wood running from Vaux fort
to the slopes of Souville on the center.
The last named wood is the objective
of the Germans for since it runs out

their other attacks are subjected to
