LONDON. .April 3. The official
Dbserver with the French army in
Ms latest report Bays: "There Is an
Idea In many circles that France has
number of army corps or dlTisIbns
tomewhere In the background ready
to be thrown Into the fighting when
the great day of victory Is at hand.
"This Idea should be dismissed.
All the army corps of France are
fighting and Its reserves will enable
hcm to keep fighting, and fighting
aard, so long as the war continues."
Makes Comparison.
The observer compares the results
Rchlevrd by the French offensive In
Champ&ftne with the 'object with which
the operation were undertaken. The ob
Jocta, he ray, were to keep a constant
presaure on th German flrat line defenses
In order to affect the line by the Ger
man of the railway from Baxannourt to
Cliallerange and to wear down their re
ectnea of men and ammunition.
"Aa retard the flrat object," ay the
report, "the pressure continued for thirty
one days, with the result that the enemy
liaa lost the fort!flol area which he had
been holding nnd continually strengthen
ing for five month. Hi use of the Chal
leramce anil I.iir.ancourt line ha not been
materially nf.etrd, for. although at cer
tain point it la within ran are of the
. French Buna, he ran without difficulty
continue to run the trains required for
the maintenance of the corps on that
part of the, front, and the Junction at
Challerange'ls secure. '
1 ulnar tp of Reserves.
"The using- up of hi reserve has been
achieved In a very marked manner. At
the beginning of the operation there were
some eighteen regiments In that part of
the line. At its conclusion thirty-three
have been Identified. Fifteen that had
been called up to withstand the French
offanalve were drawn from many pert
of the German line, which Indicate that
the enemy ha n central reserve that
he can call up In case of aa emergency.
"As regard ammunition: The German
artillery has practised economy, which Is
unusual with them. On many days they
made no effort to keep down th fire of
the French gun, although this meant
heavier loaaea for their Infantry In the
trendies. Thin showed clearly that their
supply of ammunition was not all that they
i-oiilil havo wished, and an extra, expen
diture muy well have made Itself felt In
tlio amount available on all parts of the
German front.
"Valuable I.eeMaa Lea.ra.e4.
"Two valuable lessons therefor have
V "-u learned from these operations. The
flirt la that the German front can be
plnrcrd. There were moments In Cham
pagne and Neuve Chappeile, when the
way was openr when nothing more formid
able than the weak resistance of sorelv
tried troop faced th attackers and It
doc not follow because th hole wn
closed before advantage oould be. taken
of It that thl will be th case every time.
"The .second lesson learned U that a.
serious attack en one point has) aa effect
on the enemy's plans and fighting power
at every othor point. The British attack
st Neuve Chappeile ruined th enemy'
changes of a big aucces at St EloL
"The French attack at Perthes helped
the Crltiah attack at Neuve Chappeile.
and both these asaiated Ruaslan to with
stand the tlerraan offmalv In the east
ern thoater."
Inspection lr Joffrs.
Cpeuklnit of the Inspection by General
Jotfre, the French coramander-ln-chlof,
of several division which had been
through tho whole of the fighting, th
uboervcr says:
"We must not forget that the regl
ment have had t be brought up to
strength, somo times nlmnat reorganised,
after cacn cf their attacka, of which they
carried out sovera! during the last thirty
day. What we really are looking at is
, the French system t reinforcements and
the syatom which keep army corps not
only up to their strength, but up to their
full standard of fighting efficiency, it
Is on hlch plainly is answering well."
