VIVID STORY OF THE FRENCH VICTORY AT BATTLI OF COMBRES, LONDON, Tuesday, March 24.-A striking description of the important French victory at Combrcs, northeast ot St. Mihlel, is contained iii a special dispatch to the Morning Post, which in dated “on the Mcuse, March 9. - "‘Despite the miserable weather conditions, heavy and persistent rains, followed by snow and intense cold,no_ one could possibly be downhearted in the east of Franco. Tho entire aspect of the campaign has changed, anti, from being defenders the Allies have assumed the role of tireless attackers. lt is new the Germans who are cling- ing despeartely to the strongholds that still remain to them and are daily becoming more precarious as the French flanking attacks are being rushed home through the weak spots or onto commanding positions, dom- inating the German advanced ppoints. "As in the west, the French have to face in certain places advanced Ger- man positlons-salients thrust out into France from whlch,, owing to the .configuration of the ground, it is inadvisable, ii' not impossible, to dis- lodge the enemy by direct frontal at- tack. "Tiicrc are three of such sullen-ts. First, that off’_ St, Mihel; second,thnt between Verdun and the Argonne running from Moiitfaucon down to Vareunes; three; that immediately cast of ltlielms. consisting of the spur of hills which abuts upon the River Vesle opposite Sillery. “Their advance, however, came up against something in the nature of a blind wall at St. Mihel, where it was faced by the winding Meuse and by the almost impregnable earthworks on the further bank and hemmed in by powerful fortifications on the hills, commanding the town on either hand, which if they cannot shell the Germans in St .Mihiel itself owing to the extreme stcepness of the hills snr~ rounding the narrow valley. can at all cvcnts prevent them from spread- ing in any direction.

On its western flank, behind Fresnes lie the forest heights of Arubionville. They had bciongcd to thc Fcrncli for months, but for equally long our most advanced position was at Les Eparges beyond the front at the bot- tom of the valley, where our trenches were open to scvcrc attack from thc open heights beyond held by the Gor- inane. “Thanks to some of the most bril- liant fighting of thc campaign these heights arc no\v in our possession. The Crctc do Coiiibrcs, as it is cnllcd. in in reality a plateau. The top of this 'plateau is not very broad and it dc. sccnds pretty speedily to tho broad plain of thc W_ocvre, not so steeply, though, as it rises from the valley in which Los Eparges lies, for there the hillside presents a series of small cliffs, which, when the final assault was `mhdc,‘ had to be scaled with lad- ders In the same way as a fortress. “This occupation was preceded by some of the most thorough and expen- sive sapping seen in this way. Mines were dug practically through the 'hills and when the final explosion, which heralded the infantry ofttack, oceurr-A od, the light was obs red by a trem- endous uphoaval from the earth as if from a volcano. At the same time the ground was being prepared by a heavy artillery nre. Battery after bati tory had been concealed in the forest heights and they swept the German positions with an inferno of shell fire. Iteply to them was diflicult because the French guns were concealed in splendid cover In the valley below. "On the way up the storming par- ties passed' trench after trench npon the side of the German hill which bore witness to tho effectiveness of tho French projectllss. The trenches had been fully manned, and, being - narrow in many cases, were packed with men. Now they were filled with dead so close together that there was not even room for the bodies to fall. "There was little wonder that those men. refused with every evidence or. chagrin to deliver his sword to any one but s French officer. and. when he did so. exclaimed bltterldr. point- ing to his men: “What ooei s msn .do with whipped dogs like these?"

LONDON CALLS OFF SOCIAL GAIETIES TILL AFTER WAR. LONDON, March 22.-It is now settled that there is to be no London season in the ordinary acceptatlon of tho term. There will be no italian opcrn, no university boat raicc, no Oxford and Cambridge or Eton and liiirrow cricket mutciics, no big horse shows at the Alynipin or ilichinouii, no fashionable gymkanas or polo nt ltanoiagli, Hurlinghani or Roeliamp- ton. no lawn tennis championships at Wimbledon, no Coaching Club meets. no military tournament. ln fact, all the old landmarks of a London season will be swept away while the war lasts. . There is n. controversy going on now as to whether race meetings, especi- ally at Epsom, Ascot and Newmarket, should bc continued. The opinion, even among racing men, strongly favours their suspension. Lord Rose- bery alone is among the pronilnent pcrsonages in contending that tho classic races should bo run ns usual. But there is littlo doubt that public opinion will insist on iiiclr cancelin- tion for this year. Visitors to Franco say that nothing astonished tho Frcnclimcn so much ns the continuance of English race meet- ings. giving the impression flint Great Britain is not taking the war seriously, 12,000 BOY SOOUTS IN BRITISH SERVICE. LONDON, March 22.-Boy Scouts are now engaged in the navy for sig- nalling and are receiving more pay than midshipmen. More than 12,000 scouts have entered military service of one kind or another, and 2,000 more who are nearing the age of enlistment are in training. At the outbreak of the war the Scouts by thousands _ guarded tclc~ graphs, telephones and bridges, ner- ved as messengers, and performed countless dutlcs of value to the War Olllco and the Admiralty. Moro than 5,000 medals have been given to Scouts who pf-rforuicd not [owcr than twenty-eight days' service. About 50,000 boys have sorvcd n lessor num- bcr of days.
