FRENCH AND GERMAN I REPORTS. SOMEWHAT IN CONTRAST. Ely Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright (Received This Day. 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 3. A French communique reporting: “Nothing of importance happened throughout the night." contrasts with a German communique which reads: “The enemy is applying himself to entrenching between the Rhine and the Moselle, behaving very carelessly in some places. The enemy's entrenching work south of Mandern was harrassed. by our artillery and machine-gun fire. The enemy's artillery shelled Hamelsberg and Oberperl, also Mainsberg Castle. There was also increasing harrassing fire in other sectors. The enemy light and medium artillery bombarded between the Moselle and Bueschdorf throughout the day. Fights between German fighting planes and enemy aircraft yielded no results.”
