FRENCH GUNS.
INESTIMABLE SERVICE. LONDON, February 28. The ‘ Daily Mail’s ’ Raids correspondent says : “ The Crown Prince is at a standstill- on the second line positions from Champ Neuville to Bezon Vaux, on the edge of the Woevre plain. “ The hilly ridge on the Meuse heights, where the Germans are endeavoring to advance, are seamed with ravines and watercourses, and the French from their trenches and batteries enfilade them. “The carnage is terrible. The German corpses in many places form dams across the ravines, impeding the watercourses. Occasionally the dams yield, and the reddened stream swirls on, carrying hundreds of corpses. ■ “The French are sending up troops, munition trains, and battery after battery, realising that victory is to'the armv making the best use of its artillery. The consumption of shells is exceeding all estimates.”
