Again the French and the Germans
are engaged in extremely heavy fight
Germans trying to recoup their losses
of the end of last week on the right
bank of the Meuse, but with General
Petain's forces holding them back al
most everywhere and covering the
ground with their dead. over front
of nearly two miles the Germans Sum-
day morning, following unsuccessful
attacks Saturday night in the sector
of the Bois Des Fosses and the Beis
Des Caurieres, returned to the fray
with renewed vfgor, especially around
Hill 344. At some points French
trenches were captured by the Ger
mans, but from these they later were
entirely re-established. In the fight
ing around the Bois des Fosses Sat
urday night the Gei mans left nearly
1000 dead on the s'ound before the
French positions.
British Gurl- Roar.
At various points OF the front held
by Field Marshal Ifaig the Eritisii
troops have delivered successful at
tacks, especially northwest of ST.
Quentin, where German positions
on a front of several hundred yards
We're captured and prisoners taken.
In Flanders the British guns still are
roaring in the mighty bombardment
that has been in progress more than
fortnight, but as yet the infantry
has not been loosed for the impending
dash into the enemy territory. The
Berlin war office reports that north
east of st. Julien the British delivered
an attack Saturday night but met with
repulse. Likewise, says Berlin, strong
British reconnaissances south of La
Basse canal and along the Scarpe river
were without success. The British
official communication makes no men,
tion of the forays.
Russians Make Stand.
There has been a considerable slack
ing in the German advance in north
ern Russia, due in large measure to
the Russians making stands at sew
eral points, particularly on the front
of Pskoff railroad line leading east
ward from Riga. Here the Germans
are held back while the Russians are
preparing defenses in which to make
a stand. On the upper reaches of the
Aa river the Germans are gathering
their forces for another onslaught.
Concentrations of Germans also have
been discovered in the regions Of Ja-
cobstadt and Dvinsk, probably indi-
eating that Prince Leopold of Bavaria
purposes an extensive operation
against the Russians in this region.
Mackensen Is Held.
On the lower end of the line in Ru-
mania the Russians and Rumanians
continue to hold the Austrians and
Germans for no gainss notwithstand-

preceded by heavy artillery fire.

the heavy battle for Monte San Ga
briele continues unabated, with the
Italians violently attacking, but with
the Austrians still maintaining the po-
sition. On the Carso plateau the bat
tie has again lessened in violence,
only artillery duels and patrol actions
taking place.
