There has been a let-up in the fight
ing on the British front in France and

the French's renewal of activities IS
noted.
General Pctain struck the German
lines in the Champagne blow which
netted the French a trench system
nearly q. third of mile in length IN
an impcrtaut sector. The French line
was thereby Strengthened out along
the hills between Mont Carnillet and

Heavy attacks By the Germans con-
tinue on the Aisne front. The fighting
at times assumes almost tde proper
tons of a general engagement.
No substantial successes have at
tended the crown princes efforts. Late
bulletins indicate the fighting is turn
ing even more favorabay for the
French. Z
The crown princes primary purpose
apparently is to forestall the renewa
of the French offensive movement
southwest and south of the fortress
of Laon, the German key position.
The plan of the Germans seems tt
be to launch heavy forces on compare
lively narrow fronts in the area under
