No improvement was reported this

film that was being shown was ignited.
Smith lay unconscious in DR.. A. B.

Resuscitation was made possible only
through prompt use of the pulfnotor

Abandoning the new open forma-
ton and the lately established prac-
tice of night attack, the Germans yes
terday engaged two army corps in
dense masses against the French po-
sitions northwest of Verdun between
Avocourt and Cumieres. Forces num-
bering at least a division and half
charged the line between Ayocourt
and Bethincourt. They approached
within a hundred yards of the French
trenches and seemed insensible to the
fact that hundreds of their men were
falling by the way, but notwithstand-
| ing their courage and the weight of
their masses they were stopped
There was a deadline beyond which
they could not pass.

slip through the ravine near CumlereS
To aid the maneuver an attack stimuli

of the Mouse in the region of Champ

bred men who had succeeded in pene-
trating the ravine were left on the
field after the action proved unsuc-

A third attack at the same time was
delivered on a position strongly or

Avocourt, the object seemingly be-

enough to turn Hill 304 which lies SOC
yards south and constitutes what is
characterized as the Gibraltar in the

counter attacked and the net result
