FRENCH TAKE 81 1929 CAPTIVE
Fighting Frenchmen Capture German
Trenches and Take Many
Prisoners.

On the French Front in France
Between April Is and May "a the num-
Der of German prisoners falling into
French hands reached 1,S29 of whom
2SO45 were unwounded. This period
covers three phases of the general at
tack, now temporarily abated, which
the French will undoubtedly continue
when the proper moment arrives.
AS a result Of their successful at
tacks the French now possess the
initiative, and occupy more important
positions than when they began the
forward movement In April. Artillery
duels continue increasingly at all
points, occasionally interminged with
local infantry combats in which short
stretches Of trench sometimes change
hands, Thus far the French always
have regained any positions taken
from them, and at some places have
bitten further into the German lines.

mAny Of the forces probably would be
put into tents Instead OF wooden bar

Lack OF funds, material, labor and
transportation facilities, Secretary Ba
ker said, were determining influences
In the decision to reduce the number
Of oantonmeDts. The larger number
would have made a much greater de
mand on the overtaxed resources at
the departments command.
Although the change will upset all
the tentative plans for camp locations

four sites selected are at Atlanta

A more plentiful supply of canvas
than expected made It possible to put

OF the tents used probably will be
placed at southern camps.
In making the announcement Sec.
rotary Baker said also that forces in
excess of those which could be cared
for in tho l6 cantenments would be
placed under the canvas. This was
taken as referring to national guard

There is no indication Of an inten-
ton to alter the plan for formation of
