BERLIN REPORTS VIOLENT
BUT INDECISIVE FIGHTING
ALONG SOMME LINE

BERLIN, July There was violent
fighting last night on the front of the
Somme River In France.
The German War Office in It's report on
operations today states that the combats
were not unfavorable to the Germans, but
no decisive claims are made.
on the Verdun front the French at
tackled the German positions east of the
Meuse River, particularly southwestward
of VauX but were repulsed.
A severe check has been administered to
the British armies In the combined Anglo
French offensive. according to reports re-
ceived here today. and the British have
suffered unusually heavy losses.
Since the opening day of the British at
tack. General Haig's army has been unable
TO make any important gains against the
GNman line. Forced to abandon she'll
wrecked first-line positions the Germans re-
tired to their second line north of the
Somme where they threw back time and
again British infantry.
1t is we'll understood here that the British
will assume the offensive, perhaps with
greater violence than marked the first day
of the forward movement but the manner
in which the German wall withstood the
first shock has inspired the greatest con-
hdence in Berlin.
A group of British prisoners, captured at
the village OF Serre, admitted their disap-
pointment at the stubborn nature OF the
German defense.
1--WE thought It would be a romp across
Serre after our guns had finished the
work." a captured officer was quoted as
saying. Instead. Germans popped out Of
all sorts of places and got many guns
working on u.s."
That the French have made some sub
stantl gains south OF the Somme Is not
denied here. But the French gains. II is
stated. constitute no serious menace to
the German line, which is amply prepared
to repel any serious menace on the sector
around Peronne.

However, he remembers that year
