The regret with which the British
public received news OF Friday nights
devastation was tempered by the
knowledge that it had cost one of
the enemy's precious Zeppelins. So
the shock at the knowledge that raid
ing had been resumed was lcssened
when 1t became known that for the
first time a British airman has been
able to cope successfully with the
great German airships.
Lieutenant Alfred Brandon, r. f.

Zeppelins. BY skillful maneuvering

London Malancourt. strongly for
tilted village nine miles northwest OF

furious assaults on both sides Of the
River Meuse. An attack from three
sides by massed German legions drove
the French out Of the village. an i'm

but the French still hold redoubts
commanding the highways. The bat
tie continued all night
The German War once announced
that not only the village but French
defensive positions on both sides of

took 32S prisoners.
The French hold on the village OF
Bethincourt. two miles east of Malan-
court was seriously threatened by the
capture of Malancourt. 1t appears
certain that the next great German
attack on the west bank Of the Meuse
will be directed against Bethincourt.
South OF Malancourt the Crown
Prince met with defeat in renewal
OF his efforts to clear the French out
OF Avocourt wood. Two German at
tacks, the French War Office stated,
were repulsed. The Germans also
failed in attacks against French

Nerdun.
In an aerial fight in the region or
Arras and Bapaume the British lost
three biplanes Two Of their occu-
pants were dead Lieutenant lmmel-
mann thus accounted for his thir-

The city OF Verdun was set ablaze
in three parts. The village of Belle
Vile, northeast of Verdun, was also

The French attempted to relieve
the pressure on Verdun by attacking
the German front between Rheims and
the Argonne, using poisonous gas.
