The French have made capital progress in their advance near
Munster. On Tuesday they completed the conquest of a very strongly organized German position along a front of a mile and a quarter. The height' at this point, which are now in French hands, dominate the principal valley of the Feat as well as a main road. Some German officers were captured and several hundred men. The Germans retaliated furiously on Wednesday north of Souchez. They gained a footing in the French trenches as a result of several attacks, but were thrown back except from a single sap-head.
