Paris, September 21.

An official communique states:—On the left wing 0:0 the right bank of the Oise we have advanced to the height of Lassigny. On the east bank of the Oise and north of the Aisne the Germans have manifested renewed activity. Violent combats ending in bayonet charges have ensued in the region of Craonne. Everywhere the enemy -were' repulsed.

Round Eheims the Germans have not attempted infantry attacks, but have limited themselves to cannonading our front with heavy artillery.

In Champagne and on the western slope of the Argonne beyond Somaine we have taken Mesnil. On the Woevre the enemy continue to hold Thiaucourt, and have cannonaded Hassonchatel. There is no new report from Lorraine. On the Vosges the Germans are fortifying themselves on the Delme side and to the south of Chateau Salins, in German Lorraine.

To-day's cablegrams state that the Germans are fortifying themselves at Delme and Chateau Salins, in Lorraine. Delme is in German territory opposite Pont-a-Moussan. Chateau Salins is also in Germany, south of Delme.
