German Retreat Between
Meuse and Moselle Riv-
ers Announced.
BELGIANS REGAIN
GROUND IN FLANDERS
British Give Out Largest Single
List of Casualties, Contain"
ing 1,843 Names.

London. April between the Mouse
and the Moselle the French are on the
offensive, attempting to force the Ger
mans to give up st. Mihiel and the
region IN the vicinity Of that now ia
nous town. The Germans in their
first official report to-day claimed to
have repulsed all the French attacks,
but later official statement from
Berlin says that according to "a pre-
arranged plan, the German outpost
retreated from Regni6ville and Fey-en-
Haye"
The French some time ago reported
the capture Of these towns and claim
to have made progress almost daily
since then. The advance in this region
threatened the communications Of the
Germans at st. Mihiel.
The Belgians have regained bit OF
the ground which they lost in Flanders,
but elsewhere there has been no change
on the western front.
The largest total of casualties yet
recorded in any Of the official lists was
shown in the statement given out to-
night. dated March %. This list is be-
lieved to cover the losses sustained in
part Of the sanguinary fighting which
resulted in the capture Of Neuve Cha
pelle last month.
The list includes the names OF 1.843
non-commissioned officers and men Of
seventy regiments, the killed number
ing 573 and the wounded 10y.
Following is the text Of the official
German version, received tonight from
Berlin, Of the fighting between the
Meuse and MOselle
"When the enemy's infantry began
TO deploy, the German outposts retreat
ed on Easter Monday, according to a
prearranged plan from Regnieville and
Fey-en-Haye to their main position.
"The French attack against the
southern front, at first to the north Of
foul and then in the forest of lie
Pretre, began simultaneously with at
tacks against our north wing TO the
south Of the Orne. and between Eparges
and Combres. but the French nowhere
we're successful, being everywhere
thrown back.
"The severcst fighting took place be-
tween the Mouse and Apremont, where,
i'm the wooded country, the French were
able to approach close to the German
positions, but were received with an
annihilatng fire at short range.
"The Germans served their guns
with tremendous effect, and in a short
time the French reserves were in full
fight, while their rifle attack broke
down under our infantry fire.
'"On April s we observed the French
piling hundreds Of dead in front of
their positions.
"The same day attacks by the French
in the Forest of lie Pretre and near
Flirey failed SO far the French have
only to record fresh failures on the
ground which has been the scene of
repeated struggles. but it seems that
their attacks are not yet at an end

are in command in the Black Sea, will
