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. Besonvaux and Cauricres Wood,
executing- raids whn h cost them dearly
In casualties and achieved only small
results.
A number of American Infantry of-
officers, for Instruction attached to '
French units, were, in the ratda upon
