French artillery was at first unable to

The enemy further succeeded i'm widen

up two divisions of the guards and two
Bavarian divisions borrowed from the
army group of Crown Prince Rupprecht.
These troops captured the villages of
Merry, st. Maur and Belloy, giving him
a plateau behind which he can mass
troops partially screened from observs-
tion by the French.
If the danger to the French is in los
