1AHURE HILL AGAIN
 TAKEN BY GERMANS
AFTER NUMEROUS COUNTER. ATTACKS FRENCH HAVE BEEN
 FORCED FROM POSITION.
FIRE ON BELGIAN SECTOR
Threatened Attacks of the Teutons Forestalled by Activity of French Guns-6erman Losses Re
 ported 30 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- taeks 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 report issued by Field Marshal Sir John French. He says that the published list of the German casualties diseloses that sey= en German battalions which took part in the Loos fighting presumably a German counter attack lost so per cent of their strength.
 The following official communica. tion was issued by the Paris War Office
 Tn Belgium, in the sector of Lom. baertzyde. spirited bombardment by the enemy was accompanied by obvi- ous preparations for attacks which the immediate intervention of our artil- lery prevented
 Tn Champagne, on the whole front between Hill 193 and Tahure and to the south of the village. the Germans bombarded our positions. They man ned their trenches and set up sealing ladders. The barrier wire of ouf batteries and machine guns stopped this attempt or this sham at an at. tack.
 The Belgian communication re. ports slight activity of the enemy ar. tillery. Pervise. Noordsehoote and Pypegard have been bombarded."
 The German report follows:
 Tn the Champagne the French be gan counterattack at Tahure dur. ing the afternoon and were repulsed The hill of Tahure, which was taken by storm of our troops on Octiber 30 remained in our hands. The number of prisoners taken during the last few days has been increased to 31 officers and 1,277 men

AUSTRIANS CROSS
 BORDER OF SERYIA
FRANCE CLAIMS TO HAVE CLEARED BuLGARIANS OUT
 OF VELES DISTRICT.

London.-The Germans, with their Austrian and Bulgarian allies, are still trying to cut off the retreat of the main Servian army, which is of fering spirited resistance as it re- tires. While Field Marshal von 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 wide front from Pirot, southeast of Nish, to Zajeear,
 It IS a long way across, and the country is difficult to traverse. but the Servians are bound to defend 1t 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 lre 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. re- port that Uskub has been reeaptured is not confirmed. The French, how. ever, claim to have cleared the Bull garians out of the Veles district. This, if true, would render Uskub an unsafe place for the invaders, in the opinion of military men,
 Through the lake district. l .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. Iyanoff in this region.
 AS the Germans are reported to have sent part of Gen. von Linsin- gems army from this region to the Roumanian frontier to guard against Roumanian attack on Field Mar shal von 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 a long conference with Earl Kitchener, and also visited other min isters.
