Nov. 21,6.50 a.m., A communique atatea that yesterday was equal to the previous days. Our artillery took the advantage at Nieuport. We repulsed two infantry attacks against Hollebeke and pushed our advance batteries forward in the Aisne region and Champagne, stopping the building of trenobes by the Germans. We have blown up the enemy's trenches in Argonne. We progressed on the Verdun Hilla and in the Vosges, establishing trenches sometimes only thirty metres distant from the Germane.
