Desperate German AS
saults Fail to Regain
Ground.
BRITISH WON 5000
YARDS IN WEEK
Power of Teuton Waning
as the Offensive
Continues.
By Cab. 70 TIE Tribune =

London, Sept 1O.-In desperate ef-
forts 70 wrest the offensive from the
Allies, the German launched attack
after attack to-day along the whole
Somme front. At no point were they
able to extend their lines. Only at
one place did they succeed in setting
foot inside the Allied trenches, by the
use Of liquid fire, and then they were
Immediately routed by vigorous coun-
ter-charges.
The British not only held all the
ground won in yesterdays successful
assaults. but at several points ad-
vanced their lines last night and this
morning. Following the cessation Of
German attacks. both Foch and Haig
took the offensive. The British at
tackled on a ten-mile front between
Thiepval and Combles. while the
French operations were confined 70 the
Barleux-Belloy sector. The Germans
put up such an obstinate resistance,
however, that neither attack succeeded
in gaining ground that could be held.
The German couner attacks had been
expected for several days. The Anglo
French armies. while on the offensive
themselves. constantly guarded against
sudden thrust by the enemy. Il was
expected that such a counter assault,
into which the Germans hurled every
ounce Of their strength. might turn
the Allies out OF part Of their recently
won positions The fact that they were
able 20 parry the blow efectuslly and
still carry on offensive operations
proves once more that the power Of the
Teuton il waning.
The weakness which the Germans IN
Picardy are showing is slowly COM
municating Itself 20 other battle fronts,
where the armies OF the Central Powers
are facing the supreme tests Of the war
in a spiritless mood.
4 note Of success rings clear in the
messages received from all the Allied
fronts to-day. An unusual suggestion
OF triumph creeps into General Hsig's
statement relating 10 the British
achievements during the last week. Not
only have the British made big
advances after facing the fercest
fighting OF the war and almost i'm
pregnable obstacles, but the Germans
have failed 20 regain anything.
