Offensive Movement by at
Least Three Divisions OF
Germans is Failure.
ALL POSITIONS RETAKEN
Counter Attacks and Hand Gre
made Fighting by French
Are Successful.


PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE French Of
fetal statement OF today states that
the German offensive undertaken
Sunday in Champagne by at least
three German divisions was COM
plete failure, the Germans being
driven out OF all the positions which
they had seized.
The statement follows:
Between the rivers Somme and
Disc our artillery has been active.
An enemy detachment attempted TO
carry one of our positions in the sec
tor of Armancourt in the region OF
Roye. 1t was repulsed by our fire.
To the west of scissors our trench
guns destroyed depot of rockets
in the neighborhood of Autreches.
--latest infol nation received from
Champagne confirms the fact that
our artillery fire, our trench de-
lenses and our counter attacks COM
pletely set at naught an important
attack undertaken by the enemy in
which at least three German dtvis-
ions took part. Counter attacks ana
hand grenade fighting by our men
during the last night drove the en-
envy from the outposts positions he
had occupied with the exception OF a
small rectangle to the west of Mai
ns-de-Champagne, where his small
forces are maintaining themselves
with difficulty. Our general fire and
in particular our artillery fire infiict-
ed heavy losses on the enemy.
Three of our aeroplanes engaged
yesterday in several fights above the
German lines near Dixmude with en-
envy scouting aeroplanes of the Fox
ker type. One of our machines at
tackled by Fokker machine had to
descend, but an enemy aeroplane at
tackled in turn by one of ours, which
fired on it with machine guns from
distance of twenty-five meters, was
brought down. A third French ma
chine also attacked another Fokker,
which fell in the forest of Houthulst
to the southeast of Dixmude.'
