HEROIC FRENCH.
IMPETUOUS FIGHTERS.
Received 10.40 p.m. Oct. 1
PARIS, Oct. 1. Accounts dwell on the impetuosity of the French dash in the Champagne. Never .can the acts of devotion and self-sacrifice in the inferno of shells and machine, gun fire be narrated. Despite the great destruction of entanglements, great stretches of the wire remained. In negotiating these and in bombing the trenches, everything that was heroic was displaeyd. The fire from sunken German machine guns explains the enormous proportion of legwounds among the French.
