GERMANS IN ATTACK
OVER TWO-MILE FRONT
Switch Their Offensive From Region of LIE Mort Homme
to Sector Between Thiaumont Farm and Vaux-Gan
First-Line Trenches but Suffer Heavy Losses.

The Germans have switched their
offensive from the region Of lie Mort
Homme. northwest of Verdun. to the
sector between the Thiaumont farm
and Naux. northeast OF the fortress.
and have succeeded hero In entering
French first line trenches between
Fort Douaunont and the Vaux pond.
l'he attack was made over n front
Of about two miles, and was preceded
BY violent artillery preparation. The
French met the German onslaushts with
their machine guns. and succeeded in
holding back the attacking forces
everywhere except at the point between
Fort Douaumont and the Vaux pond.
Heavy losses were inflicted on the
Teutons. according to Paris.
The heavy fighting around I-e Mort
Homme and the Avocourt wood had
dwindled to intermittent bomba rd-
ments since the rcpulse of German
attacks. and the launching of a coun-
terattack by the French. which gave
them German trenches 400 meters in
extent southeast OF lie Mort Honme.
The activity of the artillery on the
remainder OF the front in France has
also lessened in violence. In the Nosges
Mountains. near Altkirch, the Germans
report the occupation OF French posi-
lions $50 meters long and about $50
meters deep, and the capture OF pris-
oners and booty.
ITALIANS HOLD BACK
ATTACKS by AUSTRIANS
The Italians. according to Rome,
continue to hold back attacks by the
Austrians at various points along the
Tyrol front. Especially bitter fighting
~
the Posina Torrent and southeast of
were stopped or driven back in dis
order. Lively artillery duels are in
progress in the Lagarina Valley and
between the Posna and the upper
Astico Rivers.
Artillery engagements and Infantry
firing are in progress along the whole
Of the Russian front, but no changes
in the positions Of the Russians or tho
Teutons have been reported.
The Turks. taking the offensive at
three points in Asia Minor against the
Russians, have temporarily, at least.
brought the Russian advance toward
Mesopotamia to a standstill. All the
Turkish attacks were repulsed. except
at Mamakhatun. fifty miles west of
Erzerum, which was evacuated by the
Russians. Here the fighting was over
front OF about twenty miles. At
tempts by the Turks. who are said to
be heavily REINFORCED by Austrlans and
Germans. to press back the Russians
near Bathurst and Diarbekr failed.
That the Serbs recently reported as
having landed at Saloniki now are on
the entente allied front on the Greek
Serbia border is indicated by the latest
German official communication. The
communication says weak attack
made by the entente at the southern
end OF Lake Dorian was repulsed. and
that northeast of the lake Serbians
wearing British uniforms were taken
prisoner.

brick and asphalt, crowded tencments
and swarming streets, dead mir and no
play. She went into land of noun
tains and sky and sunshine.
So she "growed" and "growed."
Most noticeably she "growed" wider,
and now she is boasting: 81 growed
1even pounds since l got to this

eleven pounds is a good deal, but
il wouldn't begin to measure Topsy's

wearing a crown woven Of fronds of

showing it to her sister guests she
said:
"O-o-h, there was a million roses

awful thick of ferns"
And Topsy had never seen even one
rose growing before she said so.
The Fresh Air "angels"-that's what
they call themselves-love best to
climb cup a mountain" During their
stay in their present quarters Topsy
and the others have explored most of

Arrest of Parents in Pa
ralysis Case Causes At
tack on PatrOlman.

A mob of excited men and women
savagely attacked Policeman Theodore
Raphael at Bushwick Avenue and Mes
erole Street, Brooklyn, yesterday while
Raphael, who is attached to the Health
Department in infantle paralysis cases,
had under arrest Mrs. Anna Lehman,
thirty-three years old, of l31 Thames
Street; her husband, Henchel, and
Abraham Sochazensky, thirty-nine, If
1873 Thames Street, all charged with
disorderly conduct. The reserves Of
the Stage Street police station saved
the policeman from serious injury.
The Lehrmans have five children.
Their two-year-old girl, Sylvia, was
stricken with infantile paralysis Fri
day. She was removed to the Kingston
Avenue Hospital, and Mrs. Lehman
was instructed to keep her other chill
dren under strict quarantine, as there
have been many plague cases in that
neighborhood. There are about twenty
other families in the house where the
Lehrmans live.
Raphael learned yesterday the Lehr-
mans were permitting their children to
mingle with other children OF the
neighborhood and he went to the
house. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Lehr-
man told the policeman she could do as
she pleased with her children. Sac
also spat in Raphsels face, it IS
charged. He arrested her, and as he
was taking her out of the house her
husband, he says, tried 70 rescue her.
A crowd gathered when Mrs. Lehman
screamed Murder" Then Sochazen-
sky took part in the disturbance, it IS
charged. When Raphael got 20 Bush
wick Avenue and Meserole Street the
mob fell on him and he was compelled
to draw his revolver to hold II at bay
until the reserves arrived. Raphael
held on TO his prisoners throughout the
fight.
The prisoners were taken TO the Bed
ford Avenue police court. When Mag
istrate Dooley saw the children IN
court he ordered they be taken into the
open. Health officials stated 1t was
such violations of instructions as that
charged against Mrs. Lehman that
spread the disease. The prisoners were
released on bail for q hearing to-mor-
row. Magistrate Dooley denounced the
Lehrmans for their disregard Of the
health officials instructions.
