It is here from Moreutl, ten mites IDrthweot of Moatdidier, in a curving llyse around the latter place and eaat- ward to beyond i.aaalgny, nearly 15 riles away, that the battle was rag - i lag at last acrountn.

The lnitla! force of the Impact, however, was ssmcient to drive the French' back abort distanees at and near the point of the salient. Push- ing westward from the branch of the Avre, which runs la a northwesterly direction from Montdidler, the enemy forced his way Into several villages within a stretch of about five miles along the front. The advance reached a maximum of about three miles In this sector. South of Montdidler the wedge also was further driven in about two miles. On Saturday night and Sunday, however, the French bit back recap- tured Ayenconrt, Moretti! and Moo - diet and gained considerable ground to the region of Oryillers, according to the omcial communication from the War Office. Moreuil, captured by the Germans, wsa retaken by the Freocb, again taken by the Germans, and finally carried In a bayonet charge by French said British troops. Plemont was also taken and with it 700 prisoners. The German aim was apparently to drive westward from Montdidler la a fnrther attempt at cutting In on Amlena from the south. The attempt, however, was completely frustrated by the ?reach •punter -attacks. The battle is alackssing, accord- ing to news reaching Paris.
