LONDON, October 16.-In the western
theater of war vigorous counter attack
delivered by the French in the Vosges

tions on the summit of Hartmans-Weiler-

ment from Paris. The French also claim

ing the Teutonic positions on Hartmans-
Weilerkopf, was entirely successful, the
opposing forces suffering severe losses.

the line, and the blocking of French
assaults at various points in the Cham

three machine guns in the Germans
hands.
Paris reports the repulse Of German
attacks north of Reillon, in Lorraine.
and between the Linge and the
Schratzmannele, in the Vosges.
Berlin's account of operations In the

hing of repulses of Russian attacks.
These are given as taking place west
of Dvinsk and at other points toward
the northern end Of the line and In the
region Of Smorgon. Nothing is said of
the operations in volhynia or in Cali
