circumstances. attack is apparently only a large diversion with the object of draw- ing our reserves from that main battlefield weet of the Oise, where since Tuerday the enemy had consistently the worst of the fighting. On June 11th the enemy sought by a general attack in great force to transform the terribly costly succeesee of the first two days' fight- ing into a decisive victory, but the intention was foiled by a French counter-attack which broke up his preparatione, restoring to un an important scries of positions.

Thus the enemy's whole front was thrown into a state of con- fusion on the third day, and on the following day he merely attempted local attacke, but without result. If to-day passes without fresh efforts we may conclude for the present that the enemy has had enough, and that the army which stopped the first rugh in March can claim the honour of bringing the third onslaught to s standstill. The object of the enemy in this battle was the possession

of the forests barring the approaches to Paris on the north. Thie battle of the forests will be remembered as another victory for the French command and the indomitable French infantry.
