We intended to in- | stall there our reserve camp but the French guns entirely demolished the buildings. “We tried to dig out beams and planks which had not been burned to construct subterranean shelters, but the French guns made this impossible. “A little to the south, where an- other village had been destroyed by French artillery, German troops cleared up the ruins with difficulty and built shelters around the remain- ing walls. The French soon made this shelter untenable.” DROPS BOMBS ON SW Sept. 28, German aeroplanes 9 territory between Cou Porrentry and dropped the Cras Dermont farm, child, according to patches from Berne, VILLA MOVING FORCES.
