PARIS, September 13.
A Freneh start' communique disthat "the first major aerial battle ' for supremacy of the western skies is reported to have continued all day, but to have slackened off at nightfall. To-night's war communique ran as follows: ' Our troops improved the whole of the jKisitions taken in the last few days. Our naval forces are taking vigorous action against submarines.
"Our Air Force activity has been re duced owing to bad weather."
This confirms the belief that there lias been further substantial progress of the French pincer movement on the Western Front from the west and east of Saarbrucken.
