The review was written before the announcement came from London that the Bolsheviki had ac- cepted Germany's peaco terms. “Hitherto, little opposition been offered to the advancing mans,” the department says, “and has Ger- it is not as vet clear what preparations | the Russians are making to meet the enemy. Owing to the disorganiza- tion of the Russian forces, it is diffi- cult to presage what cffective oppo- sition they may be abie to place in the path of tho invaders.” Of the western front the says: ‘While no review major undertakings were recorded in the west, yvet the entire front was the scene of hard driven assaults of a minor character. Our own forces are taking an in- asinzly important part in the op- erations. Last week we recorded the participation of our artillery in the very successful thrust made by the French in the region of the Butte du Mesnil This week the presence of our infantry in a very important area of the Chemin des Dames is re. ported. Here our patrols have beem outside our barbed wire and have undertaken a number of scouting ex: peditions in No Man's land, which were successfully carried through. t the time our detachments were coming up into the trenches they were under heavy hostile shell fire; ngvertheless our men made their way to their stations without con- fosion or casualties. It is useful to note that our forces now in action in this. one of the most active sectors of the entire French front, have ac- quitted themselves v creditabl “During the week General ing madc a personal inspection of the American sector northwest of Toul He visited all our first line trenches, observation posts, battery emplace- ments and other points of interest. During the two days spent on this tour, the commander-in-chief came in close contact with the men in the trenche: heard their comments or complaints, and noted carefully all suggestions offered to better the con- dition and welfare of our troops in action. “Our men their first trenches center This centers completed in the the leave | les Bains. | of rest establish and rec ordeal of who have period of duty have arrived at established at Aix is the first of a scric it is proposed to where our men can find res reation after the trying trench life. Along the French front the enemy reacted energetically in the region southwest of the Butte du Mesnil. After a sanguinary encounter the Germans succeeded in regaining part of the trenches lost last week. A further attempt in which three Ger- man battalions participated was re- pulsed. In a third assault the Ger- mans took 125 prisoners,:but the French forces regained the lost posi- tions after a spirited counter-attack. Our artillery participated in these operations. ‘Artillery duels the entire front in the intensity noted. he British have taken additional segment of the TFrench line.
