THE WESTERN THEATRE.
FRENCH SUPERIORITY / _—
LONDON, July 30. The success achieved by the French at Bandesapt is of considerable moral as well as.material value. The number of the French was comparatively small, and the men were called upon to act against superior numbers of picked men, after a period.of particularly trying operations ', which might have been expected to leave them suffering from tho effects of . fatigue. That victory achieved afforded definite proof of French .ascendancy over the enemy. A leading French military critic says: "It is a proof that our soldiers are always in form, and a guarantee that when the operation is • repeated simultaneously at various in the front, German resistance will be broken."
