WESTERN FRONT
AERIAL ACTIVITY NORTH-WEST FRANCE PLANES NEAR PARIS VERSION FROM BERLIN SUCCESS ON LAND (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 14. 3 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 13. A night communique issued in Paris, states that a certain number of enemy aircraft flew over north- , eastern France last night. There was the usual patrol activity, especially east of the Saar. Low clouds reduced the fighting activities to a minimum. Three persons including a little boy, were injured as a result of anti-air-craft fire when scouting planes were sighted near Paris during the afternoon.
A Berlin message quotes a German High Command statement as follows: "We repulsed fresh attempts to gain the heights south-west of Pirmasens and took an officer and 24 men prisoners.” The official German news agency reports that 28 Germans took 50 Frenchmen prisoners during an engagement on the Western Front. It is also claimed that only 17 Ger- , man aeroplanes had been lost on the Western Front up to Friday last, compared with 16 British and 64 French, including three balloons.
