All Attacks are Set at

Republican A. P. Leased WireJ


The region of Vaux and Damloup
northeast of Verdun, has been the
scene of further futile attempts of
the Germans to pierce the French
lines. All the attacks were set at
naught by the French fire, except a
night attack between Damloup and
Fort NauX, where the Germans OBJ
tanned foothold in French trenches.
From these. however. they were i'm
mediately driven out by a counter
attack.
The Canadian troops and the Ger
mans have been battling fiercely on
the Ypres salient. The German guns
opened up several days ago, deluging
the Canadians positions and the sur
rounding territory with shells. Then
the German infantry advanced along
ar extended front of almost two
miles, capturing trenches. In d
series of counter attacks in which
bombs and bayonets played an i'm
rortant part, the Canadians regained
most of the lost ground and have re-
organized their positions

Great Naval Battle Fought
By British and Germans
Off Coast of Jutland Con-
tinues; AlI-absorbing Fea-
ture Of the War.
[Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

tRepublcan A. p. Leased WireJ
The great naval battle fought by
the British and Germans off the
coast Of JutIand last week con-
tinues the all absorbing feature
of the war. While Germany still
holds her original announcement
of losses-a battleship, three cruis-
ers and several torpedo boat de
stroyers-the British admiralty
says there is the strongest
grounds for supposing that the
Germans lost two battIeships, two
dresdnaaght battle cruisers, four
light cruisers, nine torpedo boat
destroyers and submarine,
eighteen vessels in all. The sad-
n1iraIty says that with the de-
struction of these ships Germany's
losses were not only relatively but
absolutely heavier tran those of
the British.
