FAIL AT CHATTANCoURT.
The sudden shift of the German assaults
from the western bank of the Meuse to
the eastern side followed the check admin

The failure of the Germans to break |
through the French line south of Cumieres |
and occupy Chattancourt upset their plan |
of battle and in addition 1t entailed losses |
which were seriously felt.
The Matin states that the German losses
since the battle opened on February 81 |
must be at least 100000 men in killed,
wounded and prisoners These losses have
been heavier during the last fortnight of
fighting than at any other time since the
Teutons were attacking around Fort Douau-
mont in the first two weeks of the engage
ment.
French guns have taken a heavy toll, but
the heaviest losses have been inflicted by
the machine guns. Most of the casualties
of the French side have resulted from the

Especially heavy losses were inflicted
upon n column which advanced from the
direction of SantU Ubaldo. southeast of Ar
