The text of the statement is as follows:

by day and by night, delivered several attacks, which
have, however, been repulsed. To the- north of the

“011 the heights of the Mouse, in the Woevre dis-

there has been no notable modification in the situation.
Generally speaking our line runs from the-east to
the. west through the region of PontoaeMo1isson, 'Aprc-
m‘imt, and the Meusc, through the region of Saint Mi-

hiel. along the heights of the Meuse. To the southeast ,.

of Verdun, between Verdun and Rheims, the general

front is indicated by a line passing through the region’

of Varenn‘es, to the north of Soualn and the Roman
. roadway which runs into Rheim's. . the . outposts of

Rheiins, the road from Rheims to Bergen-Bab. and the .

heights known as the ‘Chcniin des Dames!

near to the Alene and continues into the region of Scis—

into the first plateau of the right bank of the Alene. Be—

tween the Disc and the Somme this line runs along the .

front from .Ribecourt (which belongs to us) to Lassigny
(occupied by the enemy), to Roye (which belongs'to us)
and to Chaulnes (in the possession of the enemy).

along the plateau at Albert and Comblcs.

PARIS, Sept. 29, 6:20 a. mA.—.—The comparative calm -.
on the French battle line yesterday after Sunday's storm A
of shot and shell was aAsurpArise. It "was supposed that
the extreme violence of the German attack meant a dcter— .
mination to finish the campaign on the Aisne by breaking
the allies’ lines at all costs and the pressure, it was ex—
pccted, would continue, especially on the allies’ lefii,
where the Germans had brought up reinforcements
The center, however, was the only point seriously at;
tacked, probably on the supposition that the line here has
been weakened to reinforce the left. One theory is that
the armistice of four hours granted by the French for
burying the dead Was not sufficient and that. the invaders
needed the entire day to get rid of the bodies encumb‘c
aing the trenches, and another is that a further shifting or
troops is in progress preparatory to a violent shock else-
where, all efforts against the left having failed. '
In any case the Opinion is prevalent there that the
Germans are losing valuable time, and that a return of
the bad weather will perhaps. find them still burrowed
the chalky clay of the Aisne district, and that they Will
again be forced by invading floods to uncover them-
selves: ,_ . , - -
The military operations in the extreme east of the
Vesges and 111 Algace have'bcen hindered by bad We '
as there' is on the heights snow and 111 the valleys fl
I‘he Rhine is much Swollen, while the Dollar, ill and
Thur rivers have overflowed. The plain between oMucl‘
11111151311 and the mountains is under water to a great ex—
tent and it is impossible to move heavy artillery, whichUA
git es an advantage to the allies; whose guns are compai‘
tively light
, Both sides, however are handicapped, and if the bat
'wc‘a'ther continues, it. Will have the results of prolonging
the campaign on this side of the Vosgrs and the .Ar~
derm'es region. ‘ -
