TAHURE HILL AGAIN
TAKEN BY GERMANS
AFTER NUMEROUS COUNTER
ATTACKS FRENCH HAVE BEEN
FORCED FROM POSITION.
FIRE ON BELGIAN SECTOR
Threatened Attacks Of the Teutons
ForestaIIed by Activity Of French
Guns-German Losses Re-
ported 80 Per Cent

London.-Tahure Hill. in the Cham
pagne district, recently taken by the
French, has again fallen to the Ger
mans. After numerous counter-at-
tacks the French have been forced
from the position. Counter-attacks
were Immediately launched by the
French. which still are in progress.
There has been some fighting in
the west, but without change of posi-
tions. The Germans directed a severe
artillery fire on the Belgian sector of
Lombaertzyde apparently in prepara-
tion for an infantry attack, but the
activity of French guns prevented an
assault.
What the attacks on this front have
cost is shown by a report issued by
Field Marshal Sir John French. He
says that the published list Of the
German casualties discloses that sew
en- German battalions which took part
in the Loos fighting-presumably a
German counter-attack-lost 80 per
cent of their strength.

AUSTRIANS CROSS
BORDER OF SERYIA
FRANCE CLAIMS TO HAVE
CLEARED eULGARIANS OUT
OF vElES DISTRICT.

London.-The Germans, with their
Austrian and Bulgarian allies. are
still trying to cut of the retreat OF
the main Servian army. which is Of
fering- spirited resistance as it re,
tires. While Field Marshal Won Mack.
ensen's force advances slowly from
the north, the Austrians have crossed
the western border of Servia south
of Vishegrad and are moving east
ward, and the Bulgarians are march
ing westward on a wide front from
Pirot, southeast of Nish, to Zajecar
1t is a long way across, and the
country is difficult to traverse, but the
Servians are bound to defend it as
long as possible. as their great ar
senal at Kraguyevatz is situated in
this area, and they doubtless will
hold on with the hope of making an
eventual retirement in the mountains
along the Montenegrin frontier. and
in that country.
To forestall this the Austrians also
are attacking in Montenegro. but have
made little progress, as the Montene'
grine under their veteran fighting
king have had long time to prer are
for just such an event, and have beat.
en- off all attacks. In fact, the Monte.
negrins hold some strong positions In
Austrian territory. out of which they
will have to be driven before their
own country is invaded.
There is no change in the southern
area of Servia so far as known. A re.
port that Uskub has been recaptured
is not confirmed. The French, how.
ever, claim to have cleared the Bull
garians out Of the Veles district
This, IL true, would render Uskub an
unsafe place for the invaders, in the
opinion of military men.
Through the lake district, .ween
Dvinsk and Sventsyany, the Russians
are steadily advancing and are ap.
preaching the Vilna-Dvinsky Railway
In the south they also continue har.
rying the Austro-Germans by frequent
thrusts. Emperor Nicholas and his
son are visiting Gen. Ivanoff in this
region.
AS the Germans are reported to
have sent a part of Gen. Won Linsin-
gems army from this region to the
Roumanian frontier to guard against
Roumanian attack on Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen's forces in Ser
via; important events are looked for
along the Styr and in Galicia.
Gen. Joffre, the French commander.
in-chief, has arrived in England. He
had long conference with Earl
Kitchener, and also visited other min
listers.
