vigorously to the German, while the al
lied infantry offered stubborn resistance.
At nightfall the enemy had gained 500

points it was absolutely repulsed.

It should be noted that the Germans
their terrible losses at the end. The
allies captured an order signed by Gen.

use of dense formations, and pointing
out that success was due less to dem
sity of men than to density of IRE. To
obtain this density Of fire the Germans
have developed a comparatively new
weapon--a light machine gun that can
be carried and operated by one man.
This machine gun should not DO con-

French have brought to such perfection.
It is real machine gun resembling

support instead of a heavy tripod The
breech Ats against the shoulder like q
