FRENCH MAKE GAINS
French Under Petain Struck
Mighty and Unexpected Blow
Germans Heaviest Losers in
Gulf Of Riga.

Frencn Iorces Of General Petain
struck a mighty and unexpected blow
against the German line northeast Of
Solssons Tuesday morning, says the
press summary, and made come of
the most important gains Of terrain
since they threw back the army of the
German Grown Prince which was. be-
sleglng Verdun. The stroke was made
over front of about six miles +, en-
the east of Vauxaillon to Pargny-
~F1laln. Under rainy and generally
unfavorable weather conditions, the
French pushed forward all along the
line, aided by audacious ayiators who
flew overthe German positions at an
altitude of about $50 feet, using their
machine guns, and pentrated tn eGer-
man line at one point to a depth of
two and one-fifth miles. Numbers
of important positions fell one by one
into the hands of General Petain's
men and in addition more than $500
Germans, an enormous amount of war
material and 25 heavy and field guns
were captured.
This is declared to have been one
of the most cleverly conceived and
| most brilliantly executed actions OF
the war. More than 1000 prisoners
| belonging to the famous 5th Prussian
guards were taken. The French troops
| smashed through the German lines
north of the Aisne to depth of more
than 2 miles at one point, inflicted
heavy losses on the enemy and cap
tured more than $500 prisoners anc
25 heavy guns and field guns.
Germans Heaviest Lesers in Gulf OF
Riga.
The latest advices concerning ths
naval activity in the Gulf Of Riga be.

were the heavist losers. Two of thei

their dogs and broke up the chase
They found still running with 9
fire under it and all such as that
so they put out the fire, tore dowr
the beerstands, spilled out hundreds
of gallons of beer and demolished the
plant in general, and brought the still
a good copper one, on to town witt
