Proof Of Slayf Devotion
General Lochwescy was among the
first to come ashore, and was greeted
by General Guerin, who presented an
address from General Joffre, which de
clared that, t'Your coming here is an.
other proof, were one needed, of the un,
swering devotion of Russia to the com
mon cause. -
The arrival of General Lochewescy
at Marseilles was Sseincident with tles
patches that told OF the withdraw OF
large numbers of German troops from
the theaters of war in Serbia, Mace
donia ap1 the Russian front. French
reports declare that the cause of
this move by the Teutonic gen.
eral STAFF is not the coming of the
Russians but the stiff resistance that
has been made to the drives of the
Germans at Verdun, and the fearful
losses suffered by the Teutons in the
fighting there.
French Victorious
That lighting continued yesterday
with but slightly abated fury. The
French from their trenches around
Cote dc L'Homme Mort attacked the
German Positions, driving the Teutons
back, and retaking portions of their
own treuehes, lost several days ago
The Berlin dispatches In reporting this
fighting sayN the French succeeded In
entering the woods Of Caillette, and
capturing GsEman trenches, but that
otherwise the Galllc attacks on the
Verdun front yesterday were failures
and that the losses Of the attackers
were heavy.
British Lose Trenches
On the portion of the lines defended
by the British there was heavy fcht.
ing, the Germans are reported TO have
occupied 900 meters on the British po
sitions near Ypres. The British con
cede this loss, but add that the Ger
mans were later expelled from all OF
the positions gained, save two mine
craters, which they still hold. One
advanced trench on the line near St
Eloi is also still in the hands of the
Germans. "'l g j.
Russians Move Forward So.
In the fighting that is going on in
the TTanseaucus region, south Of the
Black Sea, the Russians continued their
