PARIS, Oct. 19.-The French gen.
eral staff reported today that Ger
man infantry units, supported by ar
tillery fire, had been thrown hack at
several points on the western front.
This localized action, said the reg
ular morning communique from the
war ministry, was the only activity
during quiet" night. Drenching
rains slowed up operations on both
sides and grounded air forces.
German forces were reported by
unofficial sources to have made con-
tact with the French main line of
resistance for 100 miles as result of
their thrusts in the past two days.
siegfried Line Flooded.
French observers reported that
German troops in the Siegfried Line
were working with pumps to combat
flood waters from the Rhine. They
said that the flood also was licking
at lower sections of the Maginot
Line. but that the main French
Notifications were on higher ground.

hood of the border.
Artillery Fire Light.
AS with infantry actions. artillery
fire also was light. 1t was limited
except for support of minor actions
to a mere nuisance fire against
points in front of our Notifications,
in one single case one bunker in the
neighborhood of Saarbruecken was
shot at with 80 shells of medium
caliber without any success.
Along the upper Rhine from
Karlsruhe to Basel, nearly peace
like quiet has reigned since the out
break of the war. This minor gain
of territory, which from the French
side was described as big success
and effective support of the Poles,
has been voluntarily abandoned by
the enemy between the Luxembourg
border and Warndt Mountain as
we'll as between the Saar River and
the Palatinate Forest
Thereupon, the enemy, energeti-
cally pressed by our troops, retreated
to Nand, beyond the French border.
War in the air on the western
front hitherto did not go beyond
accommodating activity and use of
pursuit planes and anti-aircraft on
both sides.
Bombing raids did not occur. Be-
cause of effective German defense
by pursuit planes and anti-aircraft,
go enemy planes, among which II
were British, were brought down
since the wars beginning on the
western front.
Plane Losses Not Included.
Airplane losses of the enemy with
in Germany and in the vicinity of
the German coast are not contained
in these figures.
The total losses on the German
side caused by enemy action on the
western front from the outbreak of
war until October II, inclusive,
amount to 1876 killed, 356 wounded,
ia missing, as well as II airplanes.

German Communique
French-Nozi Fighting on Western Front
Summarized by Berlin Government
BERLIN, Oct. 19.-The German
high command today issued the
fOI101Dfn0 rom m n mime.

BERLIN, Oct. 19-The German
high command today issued the
follOtCtng comnuniQue:
Between the Saar and the Horn
bach-Bitche road we pushed the
enemy's rear guard across the
French frontier in short but bitter
encounter. In other sectors of the
western front there was nothing but
local artillery and patrol activity.
Contact with the enemy has been
broken in several places because our
troops did not cross the French FROM
tier. The first phase of the war,
provoked by French initiative, is
now terminated and it is possible
to give the following summary of
events on the western front since
the beginning of the war:
With the beginning of operations
In Poland, our border Notifications
in the west also were occupied with
strong forces. September 9 the
French opened hostilities and crossed
the German border with advance
troops at several places between
Luxembourg and the Rhine west of
Karlsruhe. From the very begin
ming, at no point on the west front
has there been serious fighting.
Purely Local Fighting.
The purely local fighting took
place in a fiat stretch near the
French border in front of our west
wall. With one single exception, on
either side only small detachments
mostly weaker than one company,
participated in these. encounters
The following were occupied by the
French during September:
First, several villages lying near
the French border between the Lux
emburg border and Saarlautern;
second, "the Warndt" woods, which
extends into France southwest of
Saarbruecken; and, third, the like
wise protruding region southeast
ward of Saarbruecken between the
Saar River and the Palatinate
forest.
Only in the two last named re-
gions which were evacuated by us
was the enemy able, with heavy
losses, to penetrate into German soil
to depths of between three to five
kilometers (about 2 to 3 miles,.
There is no enemy in the entire
other German region in front of the
West Wall. At no other point did
French forces even come close to
the West Wall with the exception

had pushed the French rear guard
across the border between the Saar
River and the Hornbach- Bitche road.
In other sectors of the western
front, the communique said, there
was only local artillery and patrol
activity.
Contact with the enemy in several
places was broken, it was added,
because German troops did not
cross the border in following up the
French withdrawal.
War Scope Minimized.
The whole tone of the communique
was to minimize the scope of the
war to date-in size of engagements,
in territory involved and in casual
ties-and to emphasize in effect
that the front lines now were the
peacetime boundaries.
What war there had been on the
western front it laid to French
initiative, and an unwilIngness by
Germany to take the initiative on
land herself was seen as implied in
the statement that contact had been
broken with the enemy in several
places because the French withdrew
into France beyond the border.
In emphasizing the purely local.

mand said that, save for one in
