GERMAN RAIDS
THE WESTERN FRONT REPULSED BY FRENCH BAD MANAGEMENT OPiNIONS IN PARIS (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 27. 2.50 p.m.) PARIS. Nov. 26. The Nazis unsuccessfully attempted a second raid on French positions east of the Moselle to-day. It is believed that the same troops were engaged as on the previous raid as a punishment for the failure of the first effort. Two detachments nearly a mile apart left the German lines under cover of darkness, but the French artillery and machine-guns repulsed them. The French consider that the bad management of both attacks was due to lack of experienced officers and non-commissioned officers. According to a Berlin message, the official Germans news agency states that British warplanes tried to cross the German frontier, but the antiaircraft defence forced them back. Berlin reports that all is quiet on the Western Front except for attilleiy. It is claimed that German, patrols captured several French prisoners
