A Reuter telegram from Paris published on Thursday afternoon shows

that our allies have been even more successful in repelling German attacks. On Tuesday the enemy made a most determined assault on the French positions east of Reims in great force and with a .plentiful use of gas, The French, however, were well provided with masks, and all four waves of attack failed in succession. None got beyond the first line. The German losses were very great. The attack is stated to be the most considerable made by the Germans for many months. The power of offensive in the West is clearly passing from our enemies.
