tie still GIBBS and flows around few dis
puted villages, woods and hills.
Exclusive information allows an esti-
mate that the German casualties may
now be reckoned in the neighborhood Of
10000. This includes a considerable num-
Der of prisoners. although the French

never have they answered the call in a
finer spirit.

bloody frenzy. Any weapon served. II a
