GERMANS CAPTURE BRITISH POSITIONS

initiative rested with the Germans, who in some sections delivered as many as five successive attacks of great violence. It is said that all these assaults were met successfully except in the region of Craonne, where the Germans succeeded in pen etrating the trenches of the allies and holding some of the ground gained. Bombardment by the Germans of the Alsatian town of Sennheim. six miles southwest of Thann, indicates that they may have made some progress in this region also
 The text of the communica ion fol- lows:
 "On the Yser front Belgian troops have made progress in the vicinity of Pervyse.
 "At daybreak yesterday the Ger mans, one battalion strong, delivered an attack against our trenches to the cast of Ypres. This movement was arrested sharply. Three hundred dead, including the commandant of the company at the head of the Ger man advance, were left on the field of battle. This attack was to have been supported by certain companies from the German second line but these men, under the very exact fire of our artillery, found 1t impossible to come out from behind their shelters.
 British Repulse Germans.
 Not far from LaBassee, at Given chy the enemy delivered five attacks against the British line. After having made some slight progress the Ger mans were repulsed and left on the field numerous dead and sixty prison CTS, including two officers. This at tack was accompanied by endeavors at diversion at several points on our front. Between the road from Be- thune to LaBassee and Aix Roulette, detachment of the enemy which en- deavored to come out from it's trenches was at once stopped by the fire of our infantry and artillery. On the rest of the front between the Lys and the Disc yesterday saw ar tillery duels.
 ITO the west of Craonne the enemy delivered two successive attacks, each of great violence. The first was re- pulsed but the second penetrated our trenches. By an energetic counter attack, however, our troops succeeded in regaining almost all the ground lost by them. At this point the fight ing is still going on around that part of the trench which is occupied by the Germans.
 Check German Attempt.
 ''In Champagne the artillery of the enemy yesterday showed less activity than in preceding days, while our bat teries delivered an effective fire against the German positions. Tn the Argonne in the vicinity of St. Hubert we checked with our artillery fire an attempt on the part of the Germans to deliver an attack.
 Tn Alsace the enemy was active in the employ of his mine throwers against our positions at Hartmann W eilerkopf al this point yesterday there was no fresh fighting The Germans yesterday bonn barded Thanh, Lanbach and Sennheim''
