GERMANS AGAIN oUsTED.
British Troops Again in Possession Of
LonguevaI and DelvilIe.


LonguevaI and Delvlle.
London, July 2o.--The British troops
have recaptured in>the village of Long
ueval and Delville wood most of the
ground taken by the Germans Tues
day night, according to the British Of
fetal communication. Hard fighting is
still in progress in this region.
The capture of these points by the
Germans Tuesday night was heralded
in Berlin as the greatest success for
the Germans in counter attacking the
British front since the allied offensive
began.
With Longueval in their hands the
Germans were able, not only to hold
up>the British advance toward Ba-
paume over the highway from Bray,
vance by the French meth of the
Somme.
Their success, however, was destin-
ed to be short lived and once more
the British command the chief route
forward in General Haig's wedge-like
drive into the enemy's lines.
Fight Through Night.
When General Haig's afternoon re-
port was dispatched from headquar-
ters in France the violent fighting,
which, developing from the German
counter attack. had been going on all
night long, was still in progress. The
German attacks on the Waterlot farm
and other points were repulsed.
In his brief dispatch General Haig,
in addition to reporting the recaptur-
ing of the lost ground, stated that the
British fire had dispersed the Germans
massing for further attack on the
Waterloo farm. These dispatches seem
to confirm the opinions constantly ex-
pressed by the correspondents at the
front of the dwindling strength Of the
German counter attacks.
The night communication says:
North of the Somme heavy fight
ing is still in progress in Longueyal
village and the Delville wood. In both
places we have already regained most
Of the ground lost last night.
South Of Delville wood this after
noon we dispersed with our fire large
body Of Germans massins to attack
Waterlot farm from the direction OF
Guillem0nt.'' 81
