9 OCTOBER 1915, Page 1
The past week has not brought any great now developments
in the Western theatre of the war. The Germans have, we regret to say, retaken the Hohenzollern Redoubt, a specially powerful field fortification, but otherwise we have kept the ground we gained, in spite of furious German counter-attacks —the inevitable sequolae of an advance. The French have else held all that they occupied, and on Thursday coulee the welcome news of a splendid new gain in Champagne. Not only have our gallant allies attacked and taken an important point in the enemy's second line, but they have also made a thousand prisoners. The special significance of this new advance is that it directly menaces the strategic railway which rues east and west behind the German lines in Champagne.
