"The same thing has occurred NJ
Hartmsns-W eilerkopf The Germans
have directed an intense fire against
the summit, but made no attack to-day:
During the course of the day OF
April 81 our aviators launched thirty
two shells on the station at Bollweiler
(seven miles nor-northwest of Muel-
hausen) and sixty shells on the station
at Chambley. where they set fire TO
depot of munitions.
1.-THE station Of Arnaville (on the
Lorraine frontier) and the junction OF
the railways Of Chambley and Thia...
court have been bembarded at night"
German Fire Weakens.
The Belgian army headquarters re-
port, given out here to-day, refers TO a
decrease in the violence of the German
bombardment north OF ipres. II says:
"The situation on April q, at p. M.
showed that the German artillery was
exhibiting little activity on the front
held by the Belgian army.
The French, aided by the Belgian
artillery and infantry, have taken
Lizerne and several German trenches
in the direction of Het Sas. More than
100 dead were counted on the battle
field. The booty comprises six quick
firing guns and 200 priso' RS. The at
tack continues"
The Berlin official report confines IT.
self mostly TO announcements OF losses
suffered by the Allies around Ypres
and other points on the battlefront,
and a series of denials of claims made
by the British and French. The text
follows:
THE English attempted yesterday to
recapture the territory which they had
lost In Flanders In the afternoon they
commenced an attack on both sides oil
the Ypern-Pilket high road, but the at
tack broke down completely 200 meters
in front of our. positions. A second
English advance further TO the east
during the evening had the same re-
suit. Here also the enemy suffered
heavy losses. The enemy did not at
tack on the western bank of the canal.
an the Champagne district an ex-
tensive French group of Notifications
was taken by US by storm during the
night north of lie Mesnil, and sue
cessfully defended and maintained
against several counter attacks. The
enemy again suffered heavy losses,
sixty unwounded Frenchmen, four ma
chine guns and thirteen mine throWers
falling into our hands.
Between the Mouse and the Moselle
only fierce artillery battles took place.
A strong French night attack in lie
Pretre wood was repulsed with san
culinary losses.
after their unsuccessful advances
of April 26 the French have made no
more fresh attempts TO attack our posi-
tions on Hartmans-W eilerkopf. AT Alt
kirch one of our aviators brought down
a French aeroplane.
Yesterdays official French and Brit
ish communications again furnished in
teresting proofs of the means whereby
the public in the countries Of our enc
mics is being misled.
Allies Claims Denied.
"The French assert they have re-
captured Hartmans-W eilerkopf, which
we took away from them on April 20
In reality, no attacks at all have been
made since the unsuccessful attempts
to recapture the summit on the after
noon of April &c. Therefore, the sum
nit is in our possession.
"The British report says that the
French. advancing on the left wing OF
the British, have recaptured the village
of Het Sas, in Flanders. In reality
neither was this village attacked yes
terday.
Furthermore, the British report
states that the German report regard
ing the capture of four British guns is
not correct. 1t is a pity for the British
army administration that it is so badly
informed by it's subordinates, although
it is easily understood that the regular
transmission of reports may be some
what dsorganized by the speed with
which the British troops left the bat
tlefeld on the 25th. According to the
inscription they bear, the captured
guns belonged to the I'd London Garri-
son Artillery and I'd London Territorial
Division. They are 12.8-centimetre guns,
which will make their presenc, on our
side clearly known to our opponents IN
the near future"
