An Associated Press despatch to the New York Herald relates how Gerictal Gournud the mutilated hero of the Dardanelles, barred. the Crown Prince's road in Champagne, eastward of Eheims and brought the Germans to a standstill in one day, with comparatively insigni. ficant losse among his own men, as a con- sequence of his admirable defensive pro- parations,

Liver 20 enemy Divisions have been identified in the first line on this sector of the front alone. By the end of the first day's fighting, half of these Divisions had been so badly handled that they bayc lost part of their value as fighting units for a time.

The precautions the French had taken before the offensive began were such that the Germans were unable to capture a single prisoner in Champagne for several days preceding the attack. They were thus deprived of the possibility of obtain ing information regarding the French plans.
