TWO Battle Becomes Giant ‘Sniping’ London, 10:30 a. m—W’lth ths ex ception of tha left wing of the allied army where there Is reason to believe lively notions are being fought, the great battle front In the western arena of war may today be deaerlbed as a gigantic "sniping" engagement m which riflemen have been replaced by heavy artillery masked along the heights of the Aiane and the Meuse. These desultory artillery duels seem to have aucceeded the desperate In fantry charges during the early stago of the battle. Casualties Leas. One result of the present stage of operations has been a very apprecia ble diminution In the casunltleN. Ob servers recently at the front declare the allies are well content to play this waiting game; they now outnumber the Hermans and for that reason can give their troops rest while the Invad ers must keep their men constantly In the trenches.

The latest official Paris com munication Ignores this movement. Remains the Same. It declares that the situation tn this locality remains the same but admits that the fighting along the left wing north of the Oise ,s becoming more and more violent. Calm prevails In the center with the allies gaining a little ground ti> the northern part of the heights of the Meuse.

Pierre Hheflls declares the ma terial organization of the enemy really Is powerful and that all the French wounded aro unanimous In saying that the Germans have had excellent practical Instructions and that from a technical point of view they fight with a remarkable method. Know How to Wait. The Hermans know, he says, how to lie patient and to wait. They realize the ground with real art. There they make themselves Invisible and have many n gruesome surprise to the Im petuosity of the French. Their ma chine guns are very numerous and are sometimes grouped. They havq one company of machine guns per regiment. They are always hidden, often set at the edge of woods seek ing to have an oblique fire. The Hermans first llneH of march. General Chcrftls continues, are cover ed with sheaves of corn or arc well concealed otherwise. In advance of them are their elite marksmen. Nearly all tho French officers who lost their lives, says the general, were killed by these flrers, who always were hidden. Junotion Complete. Their Junction with diverse units Is complete and the accord between the nrtillery and the Infantry Is of a permanent Intimacy. The Infantry advnnres only when supported by the artillery. If their technical supremacy Is manifest their moral Inferiority he says standi out. They fight only two or four against one and nearly always flee In front of the bayonet.
