 While the Germans have not been able despite the rain of shells and furious onslaughts by the infantry to break the French line, nevertheless the French on their right and left wings have been compelled to withdraw their lines respectively to the south of Ornes and behind the town of Samog- neux, six miles north of the fortress.
 Only between Melancourt and the left bank of the Mouse has there been any diminution in the intensity of the artillery fire. With Brabant, Haumont and Samogneux and the wooded sec- tions north and northeast of Beau mont in their possession, the Germans from the Mouse eastward to Fromezey are forcing the fighting. seemingly re- gardless of the cost of life.

 In Champagne at several points, and in the Argonne forest German works have been pounded by the concentrated fire of the French guns. while in LOT raihe the French repulsed a German accommodating party that attempted to capture French post north of St. Martin.
