GERMANS CAN I
HALT OFFENSIVE
Twelve New Divisions Are
Thrown Against French
But Are Unavailing.
lContinued Fronn rnEe One

the bridgehead which was soon carried
and the attacking troops scaled the
slope of the plateau north of Nailly.
They advanced rapidly as far as Rouge
AfaisOn farm and a country house 10
the right. gaining several hundred
yards Of ground on the summit of the
plateau Substantial progress was also
made east of Nanteuil and by the after
noon only one narrow gap was left
through which the Germans could
withdraw the troops in the region Of
Condo, Cellas and Saucy. These detach-
ments are in serious danger OF capture.
Foe Thrown Into Disorder.
The violence OF the French attack
threw the enemy into such disorder
that he was unable TO bring up reserves
quickly enough and consequently lost
several guns. Toward the end Of the
day the French made further progress
between the plateau of Nailly and
Braye. all villages south OF the famous
Chemin des Danes being taken. The
advance toward Courtroom during the
last three days has been even greater
and amounts 10 more than three miles
in depth In the center the battle
RACED most fiercely in the region of
La Ville-aux-Bois The wood east OF the
village 1000 Yards long by 500 in depth
was very strongly held by the enemy,
no less than $50 machine guns being
crowded into It All these were cap
tured, together with 1900 men. by a
clever vancouver which cut off the
wood from the rest of the line.
Progress L. Satisfactory.
The army on the right, from Prunay
10 Auberive. by skillful maneuvering,
cleaned the Germans out Of most Of the
heights in front of the village OF Mo
ronvilliers. On one OF the crests sew
eral heavy guns were captured.
on the whole. when the wretched
weather and the difficulties Of the ter
rain are considered, the days work
is considered most satisfactory and II
is believed that il paves the way for
far more rapid progress in the near
future.
