It is stated that an artillery duel Is in progress at many points along the line. Among the casualties reported is the death of the French General Bntaille, who was killed in action. The official account of the operation of the British army In France, written by a member of the staff of Field Mar shal Sir John French and lued through the Government Press Bureau, has greatly strengthened the confi dence of th British public. Also. It has heightened the pride of the Eng lish In their soldiers across the Chan nel, for it shows that they have been held upon the battle line at the critical point, where fighting qualities were at a premium. According to the narrative all three British corps wore massed against the German right wing and the western part of the German centre. Courageous veterans were needed there, for they were opposed to the legions of the re TTSejle Central von Kluk, that had pressed southward with -rushing force around the eastern side of Paris. When the time came to take the of fensive against the victorious German right, the British were sent forward to 1 the hands of the French and English.
