Besides this success in the centre, the French have made

good progress in the district which has gained the name of the "Labyrinth "—i.e., the trenches south-east of Renville. Here the elaborate system of interlaced German works Las been carried by the French infantry after careful prepara- tion by their guns. It should be remembered that in all these cases the enemy have made repeated counter-attacks, and have on several occaaions regained trenches or portions of trenches. Taking the balance of account, however, that balance has always been in favour of the French. Tim French, it must also be noted, have captured a very con- siderable number of prisoners—a sure sign that the enemy are feeling the strain of battle very severely.
