DASH OF ALLIED TROOPS.
ADVANCE DURING STORM.
PRETTY BAYONET WORK.
(Received September 29, 12.5 a.m.)
Paris, September 28.
The attack in the Champagne region occurred during a raging rainstorm, which makes the dash of the French infantry, which carried them up to the enemy's gun positions before the enemy had time to move them, all the more remarkable. The advance was so quick that more than one German pivot-point was left behind, and had subsequently to be captured by minor siege. In these fortified farms and sandbag fortresses the Germans, though cut off, held out for some time.
