WESTERN FRONT
HEAVY GUNS SPEAK MAY HERALD OFFENSIVE GERMAN FORCE REPELLED (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) PARIS, Nov. 1 Heavy Siegfried guns roared into the most consistent action of the war. It is believed this might herald a start of a big scale offensive. The French repelled 1000 Germans who were trying to surround a village in the northern sector of the Western Front. The official French communique issued this morning states: “There was reduced activity during the night.” The Petit Parisien says that the British are becoming more numerous in France. Material is more abundant. The British effort in transporting troops could only be described as fantastic.
