which are slowly recovering ground be-
tween the Cailiette wood and Douaumont
regained today two Numbered metres C21s
yards) of positions on a front of five
hundred metres (547 yards). The gain was
made by hand-to-hand fighting. A Ger
man counter-attack, which was started
toward night, broke down under the
French fire.
The Germans also appeared TO be about
to make an attack on this side of the
river today. since they directed a violent
bombardment against the Cote du PoIvre
north of Bras, but the French artillery
at once concentrated a heavy fire on the
German positions and the German in
tantry was unable to leave its trenches.
A heavy German attack on the western
bank of the river last night gained a
foothold in the village Of Haucourt. The
attack was made simultaneously at two
points of the t-Bethincourt front
and continued through the night. The
attack at the latter point was completely
checked.
Simultaneously with the German attack,
the French forces at Avocourt redoubt
made a successful sortie for the purpose
Of connecting up their own position with
another on the edge of the wood to the
north. In the course of this operation, the
French occupied the greater part of the
Bois Carre and took fifty prisoners.
