By Associated Press

French Front in France, Monday, July 9.-The French troops holding the sector of the -des-Dames drenched to the skin and undiscovered from head to foot were full of con fidence and cheerfulness today when the correspondent went among them. They had Just repulsed an attack of the most formidable nature in which the Germans sustained shocking losses without obtaining more than tenn porary footing in these constantly contested positions.
 FIERCE ATTACK
 The sector in question comprises the Pantheon farm, astride the Chemin- des-Dames. and is menaced at all times because of the domination of it by the ancient Fort de Malmaison. which is in the hands of the Germans. Early this morning the Germans opened d most intense bombardment of the French lines and while the hurricane of shells was still falling a German force comprising from 10 to 12 in- fantry battalions made sudden rush into the French positions.
 A brigade of the famous Chasseurs- A-Pied occupied the sector and was holding the line firmly. The French men. however. were forced to fall back before the overwhelming numbers which followed on the heels of the Germans

several blocks distant.

display a show OF temper. She had
done noble work until along about 2

plight.
However, the old gal was not per-

her ears. calmly looking the situation
over while the rescuing crew sloshed
round in the water vociferously
shouting orders and fetching boards
with which to construct a runway for
