WOOD.
Around Verdun and Right Bank of
Meuse Bitter Fighting Ensues.---
Germans Make Few Gains But Pay
Heavily.
(CopyriRht.)

London.-Fighting desperately in
the face Of determined German at.
tacks the forces under General Haig
succeeded in gaining control Of the
entire Mametz wood, which had been
entered the previous night by the Ger.
mans. In the same region, north Of
the Somme, the British made some
progress in the Trones wood and re-
pulsed two heavy attacks against
Contalmaison. The Germans are re.
ported to have lost heavily.
The French and German forces
south Of the Somme apparently are
resting as there has been almost no
activity In the region Of Picady since
the first Of the week.
Around Verdun, however, and espe-
cially on the right bank Of the Meuse
bitter and heavy fighting is in prog
ress. The Germans, following up their
success in the region Of the Damloup
battery, have undertaken strong of.
fensive toward Fort Souville. the pos
session OF which would strengthen
their position for further advance or
Verdun.
Attacking In mass formation from
the village Of Fluery and the Chap
tire and Vaux woods, the Germans
gained ground at the intersection o
the Fleury and Vaux roads. The gain
however, Paris asserts was made a.
the cost OF enormous losses" Violent
bombardments continue in the regior
OF Chenois, Souville and La Laufee
There was relative calm on the lef
bank of the Meuse.

London.-David Lloyd George, Brit
ish Minister of War, presiding at an
Entente Allied conference on equip
ment, declared that the combined Of
fenside Of the Allies had wrenched the
initiative from the Germans, never, he
trusted, to return.
eve have crossed the watershed"
he said, ''and now victory Is begin
ming to flow In our direction. The
change is due to the improvement In
our equipment"
The conference was held at the
War Office and was participated in by
Albert Thomas, French Minister OF
Munitions; General Bieliaeff, Assist
ant Minister Of War of Russia; Gen.
A. Dali Olio, member of the Italian
Ministry Of War; and the new British
Minister Of Munitions, Edwin s.
Montagu.
"Since our last munitions confer
ence," said Mr.. Lloyd.George, there
has been a considerable change in
the fortunes of the Allies. On that
date the great Champagne offensive
in the West had just failed to attain
It's objective, and the French and
British armies had sustained heavy
losses without the achievement Of any
particular success. In the east the
enemy had pressed the gallant armies
OF Russia back some hundred miles,
and the Balkans had just been over
run by the Central Powers.
"The overwhelming victories won
by the valiant soldiers Of Russia have
struck terror into the hearts OF our
foes, and these, coupled with the i'm
mortal defense OF Verdun by our in.
domitable French comrades, and the
brave resistance of the Italians against
overwhelming odds In the Southern
Alps have changed the whole com
plexion Of the landscape.
Nov the combined strength in the
east and west has wrenched the initia-
tive out of the hands Of the enemy
never trust to return to his grasp.
We have crossed the watershed and
now victory is beginning to flow in our
direction.
