eral attack by the British along almost
the whole front from Ypres to Loos, ac-
companied by bombardment Of the
Belgian coast is reported In the official
statement today Of the war office. All
the attacks of the British are said to
have failed.
Correspondents Of Berlin newspapers
report that the fighting on Monday in
the districts around Loos and Souchez
was most bitter An intense lombard
ment of twenty hours preceded the
French attack which began Monday
morning. It was directed against the
hill near Vimy. as we'll as against the
German position further north between
Givenchy and Loos.
The particular object Of the French
onslaught was the elevation to the
west Of Vima, which commands the fiat
lands OF Lens. The artillery battle was
Of such intensity that the guns could
no. be touched with the bare hand.
Hand TO Hand Fighting.
The French penetrated the German
trenches In only one small section,
where the defenders and their guns
had been buried by the French artil-
lery fire. Bavarian troops threw out
the French, using knives and hand
grenades. The losses of the French are
described as very severe.
In view of the shortage Of the milk
supply in greater Berlin the advisable
ity Of introducing milk cards similar

cred.

division of the district court here today

phatic term, and grabbed Sullivan by
the coat.
Sullivan was presenting arguments
for the defense in the case Of Frank L..
Rose, on trial charged with conspiracy
to ruin Judge Lindsey. He had devoted
much time to criticism Of Lindsey, the
prosecuting witness. in the course Of
which he declared Lindsey toured the
country on time that should be devoted
to taxpayers business" delivering lee
lures in which he maligned Denver and
its people.
At this point Lindsey interjected:
''You are deliberately dying about
me; you can't lie about me: you're q
liar" He started toward Sullivan and
grabbed him by the coat. Court bail
ifs sprang to separate the men and
under court orders took Judge Lindsey
from the room. Mrs. Lindsey and some
