London, Oct. 9.-Fighting of the most sanguinary and persistent char acter continues along the western front from the sea to the Swiss bOr- der.
 Attacking with determination and with seeming disregard for losses of men, the Germans, after bringing up great armies of reserves, have made desperate efforts during the past "A hours to recover their last lines Their chief efforts have been directed prin- cipally against Loos and the hills east of Souchez. in Artois, and Tahure hill, in Champagne.
 Loos and Tahure are the two great danger points to the German positions, the first because it opens the way to a drive through the extreme right of the Teuton lines, and the second be- cause it's tenure gives the French roads.
 Germans Are Checked.
 In the northern fighting, Paris says all German attacks were checked With terrific losses. The assaults have been made in massed formation at short intervals. So fierce and accur- ate IS the fire of the allies artillery, machine guns and rifles, however, that each attack has been swept back. The French admit the Germans se- cured footing in one trench, between Loos and the Lens-Bethune road.
 Sir John French, reporting on th!s fighting, says:
 "The Germans yesterday heavily bombarded the whole area we recent ly won, following it up with waves of infantry on the whole front, south of Loos to the HohenzOllern redoubt. They were repulsed with heavy losses. We gained trench in counter attack ing. Great numbers of enemy dead were left in front of our lines" Berlin Claims Progress.
 Berlin's only comment on the tght- ing in this sector was: :. "We progressed southwest of Loos.
