German troops tried a surprise attack on them Sunday but the Frenoh force held the field works against, superior numbers.

Tneir coming was hearlded too late fot the defenders, who were bayoneted in the trenches anp beyond the trenches as they ran. Four hundred German prisoners were taken. One of the places where the French had been most harassed is near the elbow of the western line. The impor tant position there had been taken and re-taken frequently during the last three weeks. Every time the Germans had been obliged to abandon the position they return- in force and pushed baok the Fi ench by weight of numbers. The French took the position for the twelfth time and held it for 10 hours. Then came a shock of the human battering ram and she French gradually gave way. The Germans began fortifying the place not while tney hwere engaged in this task the earth heaved and there was a deafening explosion. The 10 hours the French held the point had been suffioent to mine every rod of the ground. It is estimated that three German batallions weie an nihilated. The strength cf the German positions north of Rove, which facilitated, their movements to- ward Lille, it is explained by the fact that they were occupying an unfinished canal extending as far aa Ressiel. The Germans found in the deep, broad cutting, mag uifioant entrenchments. Officers of the Allies say they have noted that only about 40 per cent of the shells from German guns explode. They say also that the prodigality of their fire ap- parantly has depleted the German supply of ammuniti3n, as the intensity of the fire lately has diminished.- The French artillerymen are careful m getting ranges and waste few shells. In an artillery duel near Armentieres the Ger mans fired for half a day into thiokets that had been abandoned some time before. The Frenoh three-inoh gum finally got the range and 12 . sjielli silenced the Germane battery. . GwnSAiB ReuM . Tie YkaiOlliWT's. The".
