attacked by three enemy aeroplanes,
brought down one OF his adversaries
and put the other two TO flight.
There was no interruption In the fight
ing last night on either side of the
river. The Germans concentrated their
strength on the west bank against the
French positions on Hin 30i and on both
sides of that height. and on the right
bank against the Thiauront-p -pouaumont
line In an effort to recover the ground
lost earlier in the day.
Flaming liquids were used to cover the
infantry attack to the west of Hin 304,
and at this point one OF the French
trenches was penetrated but a counter
attack drove the Germans out again.
The French fire prevented the Germans
from reaching the trenches TO the east
OF the hill
The massed formation which was
conspicuous In the early German az
vance on Nerduu was brought into use
again last night in the German efforts To
drive the French from their new posi-
,ions on the east bank OF the river.
French communiqua. recovered one
trench to the north OF the Thiauinont
farm. but cost the attackers enormous
losses. At only this one point did the
French yield to the massed attacks.
