The French have made a heavy at
tack near Montdidier, the allied
forces advancing over a mile within
three hours. This is the first report
OF any major activity at Montdidier
since the German attack which was
reDulsed with sanguinary losses to
the Germans early in June. In an
attack preceding the Montdidier ac..
