FRENCH CAPTURE
31,S29 TEUT0MS
IN five WEEKS
Army Ready to Continue Drive
at Proper Time,
GERMANS ARE NERVOUS
Allied Losses Much Smaller
Than Enemy,

ON THE WEST FRONT IN
FRANCE. June Between April Is
and May "a the number OF German
prisoners falling into French hands
reached a total OF jl.S29. OF whom 2S,-
04S were unwounded. This uncovers
three phases of the general attack. now
entirely aba,ed. which the French un-
doubtedly will continue when the
proper moment arrives.
French Possess Initiative.
As a result Of the successful attacks
the French now possess the initiative
and occupy more important position..
than when they began the forward
movement in April. Artillery attacks
coaliMus q sii points on the front
occasionally interminsled with local in.
iantry combats in which short stretches
OF trench sometimes change hsnds
Thus far the French always have re-
gained any positions taken from them
and At some places have bitten fur
,her into the German lines.
The Germans are showing great
nervousness as TO what is about ia
happen. and the slightest movement IN
the French lines calls for that hurri
cane Of artillery and machine guniire
The absolute confidence OF the French
in their superiority is seen in the man
ner In which they. move over interven'
ing ground between the lines when or
dered for attack The tactics now EN-
ployed permit them to attack with
minimum losses.
Demonstrated In Raid.
This was demonstrated. Cor instance
in a recent raid in the range Of hill,
and the woods south OF Chevreaux. A
small body OF French infantry advanced
IN order to straishten the line, seveS'
artillery preparations having precede.
the assault The infantry g1ined VI,
objective and took thirty prisoners IL
addition to killing q number Of Ger
mans. Later il was discovered French
shells had battered the German shelter,
80 thoroughly that six full German
companies, erouchins In the shelters
while awaiting an opportunity Tor ,
counter attack, had been killed to IN
last man. The place was q shambles
The total French loss in this afiai
amounted to only twenty-seven n,cI
killed or wounded.
This proportion applies only to on
corner OF the battlefield, jor In othe
places the French encountered difiicui
ties which held them back for . perio,
and entailed much more severe fighting
with consequent higher Casualties. Clos
inspection by the correspondent Of III
whole fighting front from SCISSORS 4
Aubreve. however, shows clearly tha
the French artillery was superior % th
German. The French. despite oil dill
