Later news came that the French soldiers were carrying all before them and taking prisoners by the score. They seized Mont Carnillet, Mont haut and all the crests commanding the region." From their new positions the French now look down upon Moron villiers and Nouroy. T This Moronvil liers chain of hills was regarded by all French soldiers who had ever been in the section as virtually im pregnable and its capture caused the liveliest satisfaction to everybody. The 7.5's followed up the infantry rap idly and were soon in action. They caught large bodies of the enemy massing with the object of making a diversion and decimated them. Ac cording to onlookers, such carnage had not been seen since the action of Charme Gap at the beginning of the war. On the right wing the struggle was equally to the advantage of the French.

At certain points ;the advance was close upon four miles in depth. The latest news reaching Paris says the battle continued well into the night, the Germans counter attacking with' out success, and the French recon structing the trench systems under the cover of our artillery.

The victory was staged on the ground whic,h saw the great offensive of 1915 and the German loss is estimated at 30,000 killed, wounded and prisoners. The invaders were exceptionally well placed along a series of wooded heights, varying in . height from 609 to 800 feet and running north alonk the main road from Rheims to St Pilair le Grand. The Germans werl well aware that an attack was com ing and had made full preparation for it. . 1 VThe , French attack, however, was delivered with 1 such skill and vigor that the defenders, disheartened by a the western front he was considering j long and furious preliminary bom an attempt on Calais on the one hand I bardment, broke ground after a rea- and oh Paris on the other.
