CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE

Paris, Aug. 9.-The text of the Off
cial statement today says;
North Of the River Somme last
night was marked by violent counter
attacks on the part of the enemy
against the positions consolidated by
US yesterday and the day before.
These cost the Germans heavy losses
and were repulsed except at one point
where the enemy succeeded in re-Oc-
cupying one of our trenches. A French
attack resulted in the capture Of a
larger part of the lost ground. Our
advance is being actively continued
with hand grenades.
Between the Hem wood and the
river the Germans have bombarded
with heavy calibre shells the new
French positions which we we're or
ganizing.
in the region of Chaulnes the artil-
lery fighting has continued on the
Ayre with intensity, particularly be-
tween Lihons and the Chaulnes rail
road. Here the Germans attacked our
lines and at n point they penetrated
into u advanced positions. A coun
ter attack with the bayonet drove
them out.
"On the right bank of the River
Mouse, there was fighting part of last
night around the Thfaumont work.
Here the enemy gained a further foot
ing, after numerous attacks which
were repulsed by us. We are in pos
session of the immediate outskirts Of
this work, where our artillery is now
bombarding the enemy.

delivered numerous aerial attacks. A
captive balloon of the enemy was de-
stroyed on the night of August S-9.
