German Defeat on Moronvilliers Front observed by Von Hindenburg
On the French front, Von Hindenburg is said to have witnessed the German defeat as French forces broke through German lines on the Moronvilliers range. The assault yielded over 1,000 German captives and control of key observation points, reshaping the Rheim plain as French artillery and infantry advances pressure German positions. The report notes French gains include Carnillert Blond Haut Casque and Teton hills, enabling monitoring of supply routes. An aerial note mentions a prior German flight limited by escorting aircraft. Separately, a Young Men’s Christian Association petition seeks arrangements to aid American troops behind the lines during trench duty.
