mbt the enemy was able to reach our
val nIled Tios it:ions. A short brush
.elnied i the ritrs were aicled
to withdraw inl haste, after inl1iting
slight casualties.
"Two days later the enemy appar
ently attemi pted another reconnolt
ering thrust, but it was dispersed be
fore an ea dvay coul1d 1he made.
"Our patrols have been act iv' in
No Man's Land and our scouts have
made themselves familiar with the
(letails of the hostile position oppo
site them.
"AnotI(1' event of iint )orta nce took
place in France. The inter-allied
sitpremle wir counil met at Versail
les, attenled by General )liss, chief
of staff of the army. and Ge(neral
Pershing as well as the representa
Iives of France, (,reat Britain and
Italy. Complete and close co-opera
tion between the Allies and ourselves,
and a harmonious understanding he
tween the supreme commands of all
the forces engaged. promises to show
positive results. Unity of purpose
on all fronts will thus he attained.
'iDuring the past seven (lay period
the world has been flooded with the
news of very serious internal unrest
In Germanny. Widespreadl strikos
amion~g mluniitionls wvorkers are report
edI. While distsatisfactlin Is no doubt1)
rife In Germiany, and strikes of in
creAasing MOeriusners5 have occurred,
we' mnust not allgwv any repiorted dis
turbanice witin the German emidre
to affect thle effect iveness or speed( of
ouiir own priparations.
"During the week hostile conecen
trationis ill thei west continued. In
certain (iluarters thre repiorts spread by
thre enemy, thait he holds a prepond
eranee of nlumler'ical superiority in
, the west have gained some credence.
Whil positive proof has been receiv
ed that tile enemy has removed
troops from the eastern theatre, and
is stripping other fronts for the com
ing struggle in the west, nevertheless
the allies are believed still to hold
very appreciable numrical superior
ity both in men and guns.
"in the Bitish theatre numerous
raids took place. South of Lens and
northeast of ILngemnarck, as well as
south of the Senrpe, the Glermans
sent out reconnoitering detachments.
The British forces were also busily
engaged Rounding the enemy line,
identifying new units, taking mnas
u) re of the value of the new conting
ents which are arriving along the
Gherman line in the west from other
theatres. .
