For nt least thirty milon tho uol (Horn of tho United States must mitko thoir way ncrosa tliis'dpfwiri. Thoy then rcnoh tho lowest range of the Sierra Mndre mountain, rising to ft height of 3000 to .1500 feet, broken and twiflted into nil uinnner of fnii tnstio Hhii)o by volcanic nction nnd n barren of nuy verdure worthy of the nnmo as tho desert over which they frown.

Amoricnna who hae penetrated these fastnesses claim that the -region is the wildest, most barren nud desolate that it is pos sible to find anywhere in tho world. The mountains nro hpllt by mighty canyons, some of which hnvo n sheer depth of between 12000 nnd 3000 feet, nnd thcro is not even a recognised (mil through their solitudes.

Hv following one of the brnnohoa the soldiers would bo able to obtain miffieiunt water, but be tween the streams the mountains rise in groat barriers, presenting a coun try almost inno'iessiblo even to men on foot, nnd according (0 the few men who have ventured there, impassable to wheeled transport! of nny sort.

Twenty-five officers nnd more than 1000 wounded men were captured. A counter-attack, four times repented, gave the French no success whatsoever. They suf fered very considerable losses. J'On the right bank of the Mcuao nnd on tho eastern slopes of tho hills artillery oil both side kept up 11 bit ter duel without interruption. "In the Vosges the French under took numerous smnll nttnuks with reoonnoitering parties which were repulsed. "North ol mpnumo, Lieulimant Leffers shot down his fourth enemy aeroplane, a Dritisli biplane, lioth near Vitny, northeast of Arras, and in thn neighborhood of Sivry, on the Xfeuso northeftht of Verdun, French aeroplanes were brought down by our nnti-nircrnft guns.
