Onslaught But all in Vafn With the French Armies in France. Oct. 23*?(By the Associated Press)? The French troops this morning fought one of the most cleverly conceived and most valiantly executed actions of the war. More than 10,000' prisoners belonging to the famous,!. Fifth (Prussian Guards were taken j. and the French still continue their' victorious progress. The battle began before dawn along! a nine-kilometre rront, irom me uui ui-: east of La^aux, about the neighbor-! hood .of iVauxaillon, to Laroyere farm j lAmid inky darkness the French troops * j left their trenches and with a terrific, barrage fire from the most powerful # ( concentration of French guns ever: gathered on such a front preceding! them, they made their way forward: to and over the first German psitions,' sweeping all resistance aside. Altogether six German infantry divisions were aligned, facing the French attacking forces, but none of them were able to withstand the onslaught, the advance continuing like clockwork. The correspondent observed th? battle from a point whence! h<e could see the entire line and was able to watch the precision with which the artillery prepared the Cerman front for the advance of the infantry,: and methodical manner of the infan try's progress. 4 !

The Herald says it is a condition and not 1 a, theory, which makes it "important .not to find fault at this time, but to -bring such relief as may be possible."! ? That paper says some weeks ago this^ situation was mentioned as bad, but today it is unprecedented.
