DRIVE GERMANS OUT
Teutons Forced From Their
Position but Later Re
gain Part of It.

London, July q. C2:55 p. m.)-The
British line north of Bazentin and
Longueval has been pushed forward
TO Foureaux wood, the war office an
nounCed today. The British drove the
Germans from the wood but lost part
Of this position subsequently.
The statement follows.
The battle continues without inter
mission between LeipsiC redOubt on
the west and Delville wood on the east
North Of the Bazenin-LOngueval line
the British advance has been pushed to
Foureaux wood from which we drove
the enemy.
During the night the enemy ccUn-
ter attacked after an intense lombard
ment with gas shells and succeeded in
effeCting entry into the northern part
OF the wood but failed to dislodge us
from the southern half.
Elsewhere there is no change"

captured yesterday by the French
south of the Somme were subjected to
a vigorous counter attack during the
night The Germans charged the
French lines south of SOyeCourt but
the war office announced today, suf
fered heavy losses and were driven
back in disorder.
4 stfo1g -eFern1an detachment which
advanced to the attack in the Chaulnes
region was repulsed with the bayonet.
Between scissors and Rheims the
French penetrated a German trench,
clearing il OF its defenders.
On the Nerdun front the artillery
was active on both sides in the vi
cinity Of Chattancourt and Fleury.
French aeroplanes successfully
bOmbarded stations at Contains. Mars
La-Tour, Longuyon and Brieulles.
French More Confident.
The resumption of the battle of the
Somme in the French sector has
greatly enhanced general confidence
in the situation. The prOtracted halt
Of operations was beginning to make
the public fear that the first results
would have no morrow and that there
might be a reversiOn to the old trench
warfare Yesterdays bulletins effec
tuaIIy removed this impression.
A particularly fine piece of work
from the French point of view was &C
cOmplshed in the new sector attacked
south Of the river. East Of the old
French front, which ran from the east
Of HerbeviIle to half way between that
village and the Fouquescourt-Ve rman-
doviIlers road, the Germans had con-
structed, by months Of patient toll, an
underground fertilization in star
shaped wood and on the slopes of
hill There were 80 trenches in the
wood
The Germans here as in the Barleux
and Soyecourt region where their posi-
tons formed an intricate mass of
trenches, offered stOuter resistance
than elsewhere on the long line OF at
tack. But the French troops, care
fully prepared for their work and
skillfully led, not only won through
everywhere but held on to their gains
and were preparing last night to at
tempt 70 still further extend them.
