CHARGE OF THE SCOTS GREYS NEAR LILLE.
, ENEMY'S GUNS QUICKLY SILENCED. FRENCH FORCE SAVED FROM PERILOUS SITUATION. (Received October 25, 7.30 p.m.) Paris, October -24. French cavalry and infantry, advancing near Lille, were almost bogged in marshy ground, where they were under the fire of German artillery. French 75-millimetre guns were sent to cover the advance, but they were also bogged. The Scots Greys charged, sabred the gunners, and silenced the German guns in ten minutes. During their return other guns shelled the Scots Greys. Meanwhile the French guns were extricated and covered the retirement of the Scots Greys. The latter's casualties were not important.
