Destruction of a big German ammunition depot supplying! the forces of the kaiser near Rheims was announced in the official state ment issued by the war office this aft ernoon. Unofficial advices say the explosion i of huge supplies of powder resulted in the death of many German soldiers! French aviators flying over the Ger man lines located the depot and sig naled the range to ; French gunners, ; who-dropped a shell on the roof and exploded the. powder. The shock was felt for miles. r French guns also demolished several German field works in tne same vi cinity. The statement says that after the explosion of the depot French in fantry charged and captured several of the enemy's trenches. Furious fighting is In progress be tween St. Mihlel and Metz, the advant age alternating between the contend ing armies. In the forest of Apremont, the statement announces, the Qermans have been driven back 150 yards and several lines of trenches have been taken. ' This result was accomplished bv a brilliant infantry charge, the statement asserts, after the German positions had been shelled for hours. The Germans attempted to retake the positions by a counter attack, but were repulsed with neavy loss. Trend! Trenches Captured. ; : The war office admits the Germans captured several French trenches northwest of Pont-a-Mousson, where they continue their offensive. Along most of the battle line- in! northern France heavy artillery firing: Is announced.-. Northwest of Beause- j jour the French captured three Ger-j iran positions. In lower Alsace the . French are reported to be advancing In force. The statement does not comment on the renewal of the German assaults on Soissons, though officials believe this foreshadows a supreme effort by the forces of the kaiser to force a passage of the-Aisne at that point preparatory to another general drive toward Paris and the coast. ' -Solssons Shelled, Again. German . artillery shelled .Soissons with great violence today tnd many buildings are declared to have oeen de molished or fired.
