GERMANS SAY ALLIES
WERE FORCED BACK

Berlin, via The Hague Sept. 81
In it's official review of the war sit
uation the war office declares the Ger
mans have taken the offensive and
driven the allies back ten miles along
the Disc river.
The statement says that while the
allies have been reinforced they have
been unable to regain any of the cap,
tured territory. A series of violent
assaults have occurred, with the adj
vantages remaining on the side of the
Germans. Both sides are losing heav-
lily.
The movement of the German forces
along the Meuse river continues, with
the Germans driving the French back
on their main column.
The bombardment of the French
fortified position of Verdun and the
chain of the so called Mouse forts,
seven in number, extending toward
Toul, is in progress without interrupt
ton, The French are making siren
uous efforts to relieve the forts before
they are reduced, but they are being
held in check by the German armies
of the left.
The general situation in France re-
mains favorable to the Germans, the
war office says, although there has
as yet been no decisive results.
