Bad weather has hampered the operations on the 'Western front, and there is a comparative lull in the fighting, if we oxcept artillery, duels, trench raids, and aerial encounters. The Germans have just added another atrocity to their lengthy list—a brutal air and artillory attack on Reims, in which civilians were killed.
