Germans Attack on Aisne Front in Violent Fighting
Heavy fighting rages on the Aisne front as French forces hold entrenched positions after spring advances. German divisions, recently moved from Russia, push in a narrow front near the Aillette river and aux mill, but French counterattacks recapture some ground.

Berlin claims over 1000 yards of trenches captured yesterday, while Petain’s forces northeast of Mont Camillet push in Champagne and five German machine guns are taken.
