Maintaining a con- stant pressure in Champagne our tanks have progressed beyond Meringue and Marrons but have been forced to give up the south side of Blanc Mange. Parfait is still in our hands. Further on we have begun to attack Chartreuse and Créme de Menthe, while at the same time greatly accelerating our move- ments in Champagne. There is some confusion along our front, but we still dominate Table d’Hote. Casserole has fallen. We are resisting firmly Pourboire. We are advancing upon Garcon, striking heavy blows at Demi Tasse, on the Serviette. Nicut. We are now executing an intricate turning movement in Champagne, having lost Prestige. Our front has been broken in several places. An early re- tirement seems imminent. The enemy has seized Carafe. Later. After attacking and holding Béte Noir for a while, we were thrust violently back at Contretemps and fell back on Papier Maché, our rear resting on Dé Gargon has fallen, but at Mon Dieu the battle has taken on a new intensity. Carafe having been completely destroyed, the enemy, reinforced behind Chef, is active on both sides of the Jardinitre, and has inflicted serious injuries on our left flank. Later we obtained possession of the West Side of the Jardiniére and attacked the enemy furiously near Toupet. But as he was now strongly placed behind Confrére our operations failed to gain ground, and being seriously threatened by his advance on Pince Nez, we retreated according to plan towards Porte Cochére. We were finally driven from Porte Cochiére, and are now astride the road to Boulevard, near Silhouette, awaiting the arrival of our reserves from Garage. OMELETTE Cut C American— British Day. At2 P. M. we advanced towards Rendez-vous and after a short reconnaisance captured Renault- Panhard and after occupying Limousine proceeded, without serious resistance, as far as Matinée. Here, beating off hostile attempts in the direction of Téte-a- te, we succeeded in breaking through the enemy’s lines and entered Foyer. Despite fierce counter thrusts, we still hold the Eastern half of Coupon. Programme is now in our hands. Advancing cautiously up the right bank of the Aisle, eke RZ Sammy we pushed our way forward as Yar as Parquet; and, after a brief struggle, occupied Fauteuil, only a few miles south of Baton. Lorgnette was thus put in a pocket, from which a hasty with- drawal is imminent. We gave the enemy no time to rest; and in consequence Baton fell at 2.30. The action was soon carried very near to Risqué and Demi Monde was occupied. The engagement was especially lively in the direction of Soubrette, the movement being closely followed up at Ingénue, with Persiflage as a base of operations. Here we made good progress, seizing Motif; but we found it impossible to arrive at Raison d’Etre. Attacking heavily, with Lorgnette on our front, the enemy soon brought up his reserves to protect Ensemble and Caste. We had now reached Encore, and were in sight of Tableau. At Entr’acte, strong attempts made to drive us back were defeated by reinforcements at Connoisseur, near Clique, enabling us to reach Résumé. Later. We have retaken Lorgnette and entered the stern part of Loge, and now overlook the whole field of operations about Matinée. Later. We have reached Dénouement. Nicnt. After a hard struggle, we still hold Con- noisseur and Portmanteau, and were forced into an engagement at Rouge-et-Noir where we lost heavily. We then retired to the Suite without opposition until we encountered the enemy south of the Ménage, near Bon Ami and Parvenu, resisting our advance vigorously We struck hard at Bon Ami, but were thrown vio- lently back on Connoisseur. At the same time we lost Repartie, and our whole front was penetrated, as far as Boutonnitre. We therefore withdrew from the district of Coterie, fighting a vigorous rear guard action, preferring to give Carte Blanche to the enemy rather than attempt to hold the Suite. We have lost 65% of our effectives in Clientéle, have now reached Au Revoir.
