"The Wholesale supply Of cattle TO
municipalities, now that private slaugh-

danger, because not only are the num-

be fatal to the milk, butter, meat and

a practical means of caring for the in

vine, without which II is impossible
for him TO force back the French ad-
vanced line and begin an attack upon
the main line Of forts between Sou
Vile and Tavannes. The ravine Is
closely boxed in by the Caillette Wood
70 the north and the Chapitre Wood 70
the south, and Hill 800, where the
French position forms its root 10 the
west.
German attacks here met with a
certain measure Of success, but at
heavy cost and their footing is by no
means sure enough 20 prevent their
being dislodged by counter attacks,
which, il is believed, the French will
not fail to make.
On the east of the ravine, 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 -
Fumin, to the left; Chenois, TO the
right, and the wood running from
Vaux fort 10 the slopes Of Souyille, on
the centre.
J The last named wood is the OBJ
Jectlve of the Germans, for, since II
runs out in the salient toward NauX
fort, all their other attacks are sub
jected to a hanking fire from IL. They
succeeded in obtaining a footing in
this wood on Wednesday night, after
four costly attacks, but lost a large
part Of their gain on Thursday. Fur
Their attempts made yesterday were de-
feated by the curtain Of fire Of the
French artillery.
