Officer Leading Raiders Reported Captured Paris, Apr. 6.
A German reconnoitring party was repelled by a French outpost during activities on the Western Front yesterday, according to a communique issued' here last night. The officer leading the attack on the post is reported to have been captured.
Under cover of one of the heaviest artillery and trench mortar barrages yet used, the Germans launched a big raid on a small French outpost between the Nied and the Saar early yesterday morning. The raid itself was unsuccessful and easily repulsed. The French defenders, however, suffered a number of casualties in the preliminary barrage.—Reuter,
