In addition to what has already
|been stated In The virginian concern
fng the three commissioners. tine
Mayor and the chief Of police will
also be censured and criticized for
permitting fragrant violations Of the
law. This censure will be emphasized

Paris, July 1.-THE war once
announces today that the Ger
mans have again taken the Sou
chez Cemetery. Their attack,
which was Of most violent char
acter, was prepared for by the
use Of asphyxiating bombs, which
Allied the cemetery positions with
deadly smoke, and which made
them practically untenablc.
The Souchex Cemetery, which was
taken by French troops last month
after violent fighting, was the point
of concerted attack by the Germans
last night. Early In the evening they
began to prepare for an infantry
charge by hurting quantities of as
phyxiating bombs into the French
trenches. Shortly before midnight
the German troops, the ground sup
posedly having been well prepared,
surged forth from their trenches and
charged forward with bayonets-
There was fighting of an extreme
ly desperate character. and the Ger
mans were temporarily hurled back.
Immediately afterward, however, the
Germans charged forward in even
greater numbers and with renewed
determination. and this time managed
to drive the French from the ceme-
terry and . few OF the adjoining
trenches.

The French war Office makes full
admission of the loss in it, COM

present any but the most meagre
details of the conflict. AS the posi-

importance. however. and as 1t had
been won and held only at the great
est cost in lives and effort. there can
be no doubt but that the defending
troops did not give up the contested
ground until they had been completely
overwhelmed The fact that asphyx-
iating bombs were used In preparing
for the assault makes II practically
certain that the defenders were great
ly tncapacitated even before the Ger
man charge was launched.
The night communique was as fol-
