FRENCH CAVALRY ON PATROL
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON. January 14.
On the Western Front artillery and aircraft have shown greater activity than infantry, although the infantry have carried out the usual patrols and reconnaissances.
Last night was quiet, although there was artillery fire between the rivers Bleis and Rhine. The French are using cavalry for patrols in No Man's Land. These are mostly Spahis from Morocco and Algeria.
