of French trenches on the east of lie
Morte Homme, the German commanders
rested their influence here, but in the
region of Douaumont- Naux, northeast
of Nerdun, threw their men in large
numbers against the French trenches.
Here again they met with success,
but only for d short period of time, for
the French in counter attack drove
the invaders from advanced sections
of trenches they had captured and in
the operations took about 100 German
prisoners.
While the DouaumontNauX attack
was in progress. the Germans had not
overlooked the line between LIE Mort
Homme and Cumieres and covered the
entire region with an intense artillery
fire, probably preparing for another
attack by infantry.
Along the remainder of the front in
France and Belgium there were only
artillery bombardments. In one of
these north of the Aisne the French
guns caused serious losses to strong
German column on the march.
In the Russian theater an attempt
by the Germans to take the offensive
was stopped by the Russians. The big
