will be revealed as the great battle

The region OF DouaumOnt. which
comprises three positions - the vii
lage. the r. y ibt and the fort-again
today was n. center Of fierce Ger
man attack. The combat continues
about this region. The fact that the
Germans succeeded in entering the vii
lage is considered by military obsery
ers only as a fluctuation in the tide
OF battle that is likely 10 occur dur
ing any important action.
4 concentrated FIRE OF the French
guns In the Woevre has forestalled a
contemplated sortie on the part Of the
Germans. In following the present
German developments the military OBJ
servers discuss the possibility OF an
attack on the right bank OF the Mouse
by the Germans and question whether
the Germans will devote more atten-
ton in the vicinity Of Fresnes on the
extreme French iTht. These arc
