"United Press Staff Correspondent.
Paris, Jan. 21. 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
