with tremendous artillery firing. St.

circled by the French attacks, forced
northward and westward by powerful
smashes today. While the French in-

A swarm of British airmen patrolled

Among prisoners taken - today- were
many . Bavarians. They were bitterly
denunciatory of the German leaders.
The Bavarians claimed they , had been

the Saxons and had not been told of
what they would have to face. The
Bavarians insisted it always fell to
their lot to do the disagreeable tasks
of fighting. , ' ; - . ,
