"In Champagne our troops continue to gain ground. After having crossed on nearly the whole front extending between Auberive and Ville-sur-Tourbe the powerful network of trenches, pas. sages, small forts and shelters perfect ed bv the enemy during long months our troops advanced toward the north, compelling the German troops to fall back on their trenches of the second position, from three to four kilometers to the rear.
