l'aris, May 8—Intensive fighting
was carried on by both sldts on
the bunks of the Mouse yesterday
aud this morning. The flejoe at
theks of the Garmaus was too much
fur the French in. this district and
they plowed through the wire en
tagWuicnts and artificial hindrances
Willi a teurlfic force leaving de;ith
aud deatructioe in their wake.
The Germans are recorded with
a victory all along the east aide of
the river. They have captured the
communicating trenches htld by the
French aud have fonifitd the ap
proaches with the seeming intent to
work irom this region as a base in
•le;r further attacks.
The field axtillery of the French
wae not sufficient to iUp the in
vading Germans. Even though the
rupje! fire guns did tear holes in
their columns, nevertheless it could
not stop the steady plod of the
determined army to win the trench
es. Thousands of killed and wound
battls field. The Red Cro^s Corps
€d are lying on the bU.od stained
are taking care of the wounded as
fast as facilities will permit but
are somewhat handicapped fur
equipment.
The Garmi.is have also captured
the first line defense between
Haudr&mont and Fart Douaanont.
They are packed in the trenches
lik" sardines for a third of a mile.
The bombardment of the French
guns has been unahle to drive them
from their lair but it is having a
telling effect upon their ranks.
