 Northeast Of Verdun the territory about Fort Dauamont is hotly disput- ed ground. The Germans are holding their own in the terrain recently won there, but their efforts to advance furthe rhave been frustrated by the strength of the French defense. In the Thiamont wood sector. nearby, the Crown Princes troops scored a gain southward.
 On the other bank of the Mouse, to the northwest of Verdun. engage ments of probably equal intensity are in progress In vicious attack the French succeeded in forcing their way into the village of Cumieres. which the Germans captured last week but Berlin declares that the village was soon cleared.
 Italian and Austrian accounts are at variance concerning the progress of the campaign in the Trentino. Rome admits a retirement from an advanced position on the Astico River, but claims that a sanguirary defeat was inflicted upon the Austrians in the Lagarina Valley.
