Details of the French successes at
Trucy-te-Vol, on the north bank of the
Alsne, were received hero today. Tho
French had held the greater part of tho
village for nvo days, being bombarded
at Intervals by the Ocrmans. Tho shells
did little damage beyond the destruc

place. Tho French commander decided
to await reinforcements before pushing
his attack any further, and General
Joffro sent a heavy detachment of Tur
cos to stiffen the French linos.

French and British warships are still

Tho Urltlsh gunners, however, showed no
