Fighting in this war probably never has been more severe than that going on today in te great battle of French and German armies between Montdidier and Noyon. The Germans, attacking on a ground where the Entente Allies were ready to receive the shock, have found themselves thrown into a slaughter house, whence most of them never will make an exit. When the German infantry began coming over in the densest masses they encountered immediately a heavy fire from both machine guns and artillery which mowed them down. Ever since, as fresh waves entered the conflict, they were subjected to similar punishment. 3UN MOH.
