French troops a chance for a surprise
blow Wednesday that knocked another
chunk off the German hold on northern
France.
The attack was against the eastern
end Of the Chemin Des Danes, south
of Juvincourt. The French advance.

last of the enemy observation points
in the Chemin Des Danes sector. The
victory also wiped out a troublesome
salient from which the Germans had

| Throughout the action the general in
direct charge of the French assault
didn't get sight of his men in action
He had occupied a hill observatory
expecting to have the fighting unfold
under his glasses.
Instead, heavy, London-like mist
settled down. Objects OF fifty yards
Distant were utterly concealed.
It didn't make any difference to the
French artillery. Promptly on the

Elective was taken.
