Paris, Oct. a6-The decisive victory
of the French. north OF the Aisne is
of far greater Importance than the
extent of the ground gained and the
number of prisoners and guns captur-
ed would indicate.
In the first place, the Germans
have been cleared out of positions
from which they have been deliver
ing a constant series of attacks. Sec
ond1y, they have lost the high plateau
dominating Fort Malmaison, which
forms the real key of the ridge be-
tween the Aisne and the Athletic val
leys and is of the greatest value for
observation purposes Thirdly, the
capture of the village of Chavignon
brings the French within six miles.

The section beyond the Chemin des
Danes which heretofore has been hid

ton. The capture of Malmaison
means that the Germans have lost
their hold on the heights of the Aisne
despite their stubborn defence, which
was in proportion to the great i'm
portance which they attached to thai
i position. They had massed a ire
mendous force of artillery there an6
brought up their best troops, inciud

Guard and one division of BavariaI

inch of ground. crushing the German

So shaken and unnerved were TIA
