The French Report.
Paris, July 5.--The following
official communication was issued by
the French war office this afternoon:
Month Of Arras two attempted en-
emy attacks, each preceded by vio-
lent bombardmept, were checked by
! us last night. One was directed per-
ticularly against our positions in
front of Souchez. The Germans came
out several times from their trenches,
armed with grenades and bombs, but
we compelled them to withdraw,
leaving many dead. The other took
place at the Labyrinth but it was
stopped at once.
yesterday afternoon and evening
the Germans assumed the offensive
along a front Of about three miles.
StrGtphino from
Moselle. East Of Fey-en-Haye, as
well as in the western section of the
forest Of LIE Petre, along a front OF
two-thlrds of mile, they were sue
cessful, after a very violent bonn
bardment, in again gaining footing
in their old lines, recently taken by
us. In spite OF the vigor of their
| action, however, they found it impos-
sible to move beyond those lines.
"Further east, on line running
from LaCroiX-Des-Carme to the viii
lage of Riept, on the Moselle, a Ger
man attack resulted in complete
failure and the enemy suffered very
heavy losses
Italians Still Successful.
Rome, July 5.-The following Off

headquarters of the Italian general
staff:
In the region Of the Tyrol, Tren-
tine and Carnia there has been a con-
tinuance of artillery actions, sup
ported by small Italian detachments
pushing toward the front. The Hen
sci fort was reached number of
times Yesterday.
Supported by continuous artillery
fire the enemy attempted to retake
last night trenches on the northern
slope of Val Granie, occupied by our
Alpine troops on July 2. This at
tack, like those preceding it, was
| repulsed W.
our adversary renewed yesterday,
with particular violence, counter at
tacks against several lines of posi-
tions conquered by us on the Careo
plateau. In spite of the fire Of ma
chine guns and artillery these coun-
ter attacks were repulsed with heavy
losses. We captured 300 prisoners,
two field cannon, guns and muni-
tlons. According to prisoners the
Austrian losses, especially from our
artillery fire, have been serious in the
last few days"
