heavy attacks of the Germans
against the French positions on the
Chemin des Danes, Major Gen. Mau-
rice, Director OF Military Operations

offensive in order TO try to strengthen
the morale Of his men.
"For a long time the &c lans have
been on the defensive" said cen.
Maurice, land such a condition OF
things Is bad for the morale OF any
troops. The German commanders be-
lieved the French were tired, and by
these attacks on the Chemln des
Danes, and>at Verdun. thought they
might improve the morale OF their
own mon. Now II is the Germans
who arc tired, and their failure must
stiu further depress the soldiers
morale, which the French had many
proofs was already getting i'd"
Gen. Maurice said also the SUCCESS
OF the Russians in Gallcia was q
great strategical and moral victory,
| especially as the Germans had come
| TO believe Russia was out OF the war.
As to the British front he said that
since the beginning OF April, Haig's
men had captured 6S,222 prisoners, 500
guns. 503 trench mortars and 1915
machine guns.
"Our own total captured on all

ers, inclusive OF natives, TO tho Ger
mans. We have ta.;en on all fronts
739 guns and have lost 1873, OF which
we recaptured 81. or those lost "a
