French Achievements of

In the meantime the French had
fought and won the eliminating battle
FOR the liberation Of Verdun, In the
course Of which the French troops re.
gained nearly every inch Of the ground
around the fortress which II had cost
the Grown Prince 100000 men to cap,
ture in 1915. =
Aviation played leading part in al
operations in the course Of the year.
No matter what weather prevailed,
the airmen were out observing, recon
noitering, fighting of German airmen,
accompanying the attacking invader,
bombarding the Communications and
depots Of the enemy or making raids on
German towns. This latter, although
they effected only suefvt towns as were
used as military centers, were made by

FRENCH FRONT, January 7--[As-
sociated Press One million casual
ties have been suffered by the German
armies along the front occupied by, the
French troops during 1917, according
10 statistics carefully complied here
French territory amounting to many
hundreds Of square miles has been
freed from German domination by the
years fighting and the German Crown
Prince Frederick has been compelled
TO suffer the modification of leaving
between 10000 and 10000 prisoners
from among his best troops in French
hands. His cannon to the number Of
l400 have been captured, and, in addi
,tion, thousands Of machine guns and
hundreds Of trench mortars.
Although the defeated Germans did
their utmost before with drawing to
turn the fertile fields and picturesque
villages Of the Somme and Aisne re,
gions into desert waste, these acts
Of vandalism did them more harm than
Il did the French, whose soldiers were
stirred thereby to even stronger de,
Termination than before TO beat back
the German invader. ~ "a
Year Favors France
Three dominant events on the front
Of the French armies in France have
marked the year and each has termi-
mated in n brilliant victory for French
armies. First came the enforced re-
treat in March of the German forces
from the greater part Of the depart
ments Of the Somme, Disc and the
Aisne, brought about by the combined
smashing blows delivered nv the
French and British during the battle
Of the Somme in the fall Of 1916.
Then followed the French offensive
on the Aisne and in Champagne, whose
conclusion came only at the end of
seven months of almost continuous
fighting with the capture from the
Crown Princes armies Of the key Of
the Hindenbnrg position forme!4 by
the Fort Of Malmaison and their re-
luctant retirement from the famous
Chennin des Danes. This left in the
French hands all the good obseryator-
les useful for future operations.
