Paris, Feb. 4.
The past 24 hours have been echoing with fusillades between the infantry of both sides, although the exchanges appear to have little military significance.
En the western slopes of the Vosges, Germa: patrols approached French advance posts but rapidly withdrew when the French opened fire. Otherwise, the Western Front was quiet. Unfavourable weather has prevented air operations.
The Western Front experienced another "quiet day" yesterday, according to a French wet communique. It adds there was infantry fire along the Rhine, in upper Alsace.
The latest communique reports "patrol activity on the western slopes of the Vosges."—Reuter.
