"General Winter" Takes A Hand In War In Europe

BRITISH TROOPS

DIG DOWN INTO SLUSH AND MUD

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"

PARIS, OCT. 29 (UP).—“GENERAL WINTER”, ARCH-ENEMY OF BOTH THE GERMANS AND THE ALLIES, HAS OPENED HIS OFFENSIVE ON THE WESTERN FRONT. On the Allied side of No-Man's Land, British troops are digging through frost and snow-covered slush in order to consolidate their positions in preparation for the anticipated Nazi push. Heavy movements of aircraft behind the Gorman

lines, coupled with intensified patrol activity, are believed to be the prelude to the anti- cipated German attack.

HEAVIEST BARRAGE OF WAR

German front line batteries, including big guns

which have so far not boon used, hurled the heaviest barrage of the war against the French positions in front of the Maginot Line through-| out last night.

The French immediately intensified their own fire! along a 90-mile front from the Moselle to the Rhine.

The big guns roared throughout the day, the bom- bardments soon becoming the most severe duel the war has yet seen.

Judging from the fast tempo of the firing, the Germans used about 20,000 rounds of big shells in 24 hours. They have, however, made no impression on the French defences..

One source states that over a thousand planes are now in position along the French, Bel- gian and Dutch frontiers.
