Our airmen are
up in great strength, and are doing eplendidly, especially in directing the artillery fire on large bodies of marching troops.
Some Tanks were seen, but no reports in connection with them are available.
GERMAN ATTEMPTS ON THE FRENCH FRONT.
-LONDON, Oct. 12.
A French communiqué states:- The night was marked by great. mutual artillery activity and a serjel of German attempts at various parts of the Frons, including to the weat of Cerny, west of Maison des Cham pugne, and in the region of Sounio and Auberive, all of which failed.
The artillery duel continues on the right, in the region of Bezosvaux and on the right of the Mouse.

RETIREMENT OF THE NEW -CHANCELLOR EXPECTED.?
The scheme of today's battle seems to be fraught with most in teresting possibilities. More than that I must not say. We have driven the Jermons practically out of the whole depth of their defensive front over a width of several thousutid. Furds and the result is that the Germans must now oppose us more than on any other previous occasion since the first battle at Ypres, with fish and blood, instead of with digatates that the early retirement of Dr. Misbaelis is expected, either Dr. Kohl outs, drep trenches, and concrete
