GERMAN ATTACKS
ARE TURNED BACK
British, French and Italian
Lines Hold Firm Against
Teuton Onslaught.
lNFLlCT HEAVY CASUALTIES
Reports From Russia Are Be
clouded by Reason of Var
liant Statements.

The British, French and Italian
lines still are holding firmly against
onslaughts of the Teutonic allies de-
livered with heavy reinforcemehtS
that have been dra~ from the Rus-
sian front since the cessation OF nos
tilities there under the armistice.
The latest attack of the Gerriahh'
made in the Cambria region between
Bullecourt and Queant, was COM
plete failure when the Teuton losses
In men killed and made prisoner are
put in the balance with their small
gain of ground against the BRUSH
and attack by the German crown
prince IN the Caurieres wood on tl1
Verdun sector which was delivered
with large electives, has met with
the customary repulse, while in the
highlands of the norshern front the
enemy armies are still being helu III
check by the Italians.
Admits Failure.
A most expensive operation was tne
German attack on "Wednesday be-
tween Bullecourt and Queant. The
Berlin war office admits that only n
few British shelters and ninety pris-
oners were taken, while Field Marshal
Haig reports that heavy casualties
were inflicted on the enemy all afons
the front of the offensive, numbers OF
his dead being left before the en-
tanglements when the impossibility OF
piercing the British lines became ap-
parent and a hurried retreat was or
dered.
Findingthat the efforts of the Aus
trians to break thru the italian front
and debouch upon the plain of Veneta
we're futile, the German troops under
General Won Buelow have been rein
forced by their allies and with them
have delivered another powerful as
sault between the Brenta and pave
rivers At only one point, however
were the combined Teutonic forces
able to dent the line of the defenders
on Monte SpiToncia. where they. Sc
cured a temporary foothold after nav
ing sustained severe casualties. Here
tho Italians are striving valiantly u
retake the lost position. : Snow ant
mist are hampering operations IN thi'
region.
