South of ST. Quentin we made an

"On the Aisne front spirited artil-
Iery fighting occurred near Hurtebise
and in the sector north of Vaudes-

Our detachments penetrated Ger

the left bank of the Meusa, bringing
back ten prisoners. On the right
bank of the Meuse the German art:l-
lery violently bombarded cur positions
on the front between Chaume wood
and Besonvaux. An attack followed.
The enemy. beaten back by our
fire, was not able to approach our
lines except at a single point north
OF Caurieres wood. where he gained a
footing for a distance of about 500
yards in our advanced positions. Our
troops counter attacked Immediately

Cadorna's left wing, occupied the
Town Of Cividaie ten miles beyond the

The invaders were advancing on

Win the loss Of Corr, the capture
of which constituted the most impor,
ant victory in Cadorna's great drive

It seemed improbable the Italians

Until they reach the line of the Taglia,
nento river, which cuts the plains
