By the Associated Pre,) ON" THE FRENCH FRONT FRANCE. March 18. The center military Interest during- the last few days haa passed from the Champagne to the vicinity of Verdun, where both the French and Germans have broken into marked activity. In the Verdun region the correspond ent watched the execution of two trenr-h raids on a larjre scale carried out by the French Saturday evenlna; and dawn on Sunday, the results of which exceeded all expectations. Within 1 hours the French had penetrated the remarkably stroiia systems of German trenches in both Cheppy wood and Ma- tancourt wood to a "depth at some points of more than a quarter of a mile. They destroyed all the enemy works, his blockhouses and shelters, which had taken the German three years to con struct, and brouKht back two groups of prisoners, each comprising So men. while the r rench themselves suffered only the siitchteat losses. Re rye Arrive To Late. General von Gal twit a' army, acting under the direct order of the German Crown Brince, displayed evident nerv ousnesa under this pressure, as waa shown by the hurried arrival of lare reserves In motur lorries. They were too late, however, to hinder the French. The around was very unfavorable to the French attick, owinx to the clay soil. In which immense shell holes from former battles had become filled with water to a depth of some six feet. A in on it these the raiders were forced to pick their way under the constant peril of slipping In atid drowning The artillery preparation, however, waa so overwhelming thut the French met with only slight opposition to their progress. Raid la oa Time Schedule The Cheppy Wood operation was the easier of the two, owing to the fact hat it was daylight and within five minutes after the assault group had eft the parapets, groups of prisoners could be seen runnin it toward the French lines. Everything waa carried out on a time schedule and when the French returned to their own lines they bad secured about SO prisoners. The second raid, that upon Malun- court Wood, was a wonderfully im pressive spectacle, in the darkness Just before dawn. The correspondent passed he night on a knoll opposite the ob- ective. from which nothing but the occasional rattle of a machine gun could be heard and only a flasn of light seen now- and then until a half hour before the time It had been arranged or the attack to begin. Then, the German gunners, evidently suspecting hat something was up. let fly salvos, 11 along the line, after which quiet reigned again until, with a thunder- oua cra.-h. all the r rench batteries opened fire simultaneously, the sfarnals flashed and the Infantry went over. Gersaan Artillery Very Strong. Colored lights showed that the troops reached their objectives at various ime previously arranced. Then groups f prisoners began coming back and vcntually the Frenchmen, after com pleting their work of destruction, re arm d to their own lines, bringing fur hr squads of captives. Meanwhile thn German artillery, hich is very strong here, had opened n with a heavy bnrrage ana counter battery fire, but without effect. Soon after daylight the front was calm again. On the other side of the Mouse the German took the initiative in the course of the day Sunday at Samog neux.
