Dame Gle Lorette, a. German counter
attack on Saturday evening, deprived
US of some sections Of trenches. We
recaptured them yesterday.
AT LaBoisselle. northeast of AL
bert, mine warfare continues. After
having blown up one of the enemy~s
galleries we occupied the greater part
Of the pit formed
Rheims Bombartlcd Again.
During Sunday Rheims received
about fifty shells.
I'm the Argonne we inflicted two
serious reverses on the enemy. Near
Bagatelle we blew up three mines and
two companies of our troops stormed
a German trench, in which they main
tanned their positions despite strong
counter attacks. Five hundred yards
from there the enemy, after exploding
two mines and bombarding our
trenches, rushed to attack on a front
of about $50 yards After some very
hot hand-to-hand fighting our assail-
ants were hurled back despite the ar
rival of their achievements. Our
artillery caught them under it's fire as
tillery caught them under its fire as
they were falling back and inflicted
very heavy losses on them
Austria Attacks Repulscd.
Havre. via Paris, March %. a. IN.
A despatch from Cettinje says tho
Austrians conducted heavy artillery
fire on all the Montenegrin fronts on
March II and Is. Several Austrian
infantry attacks directed at points
near Grahovo are said to have been
repulsed by the Montenegrins who
suffered only slight losses.
Fierce Assaults Continue.
Petrograd, March %, 1115 a. M,
Via. London, Ito p. m.-On the whole
Galician front, from Gorlitze almost
to the Rumanian frontier, there has
been for the past four days virtually
continuance of fierce assaults and
counter assaults. during which
trenches and small villages have
changed hands as many as four times.
Although this continued activity has
brought about no changes OF real i'm
portance In the Galician situation. it
is interesting as evidence that the
Austrian army is still capable Of real
resistance against the Russian cam
paign in eastern Galicia. The Aus
TRAN attacks continue with violence
the fact that they apparently have
lost the security Of their foothold at
Stanislau and in the Etry region. A
study of the daily records OF this
fighting. as received IN Petrograd,
shows that despite their aggressive
activity the Austrians are being forced
to the south and closer to the Car
pathian Mountains, through the passes
Of which two months ago they began
an invasion the purpose of which was
to relieve the garrison at Przesysl and
cecapture the territory lost at the
outset of the war. The effectiveness
Of the Russian artillery apparently has
played considerable part in the |
checking of the Austrian drives In the
direction of Przemysl. These efforts !
ire still being continued, but Russian |
military observers declare their
chances of success are diminishing
or the reason that the main German |
md Hungarian forces are now too TAR
rom the Przenysl fortress to offer
proper support to such a movement.
Austrian Attacks.
Repeated Austrian attacks on a
vide front near Gorltze have been
stopped by the Russian fire. After
apparently abandoning hope or success

At the same time a Russian |
advance in the direction of Svednik |
