GERMANSMASH
ON TWO MILE
FRONT FAILS
Heaviest Assault Of Crown
Prince in Seven Days Com
pIeteIy RepuIsed; Enemy
Losses Severe.
FRENCH REGAIN GROUND
LOST IN OTHER SECTIONS
CHENRY WOOD

FRENCH HEADQUARTERS, July
27.-Two hundred and fifty guns
were massed over a two mile front
last night when the German crown
prince tried his seventh successive
night to wrest the ground from the
French on the Chemin Des Danes.
This was probably the most concen-
trated and violent assault of the sew
en- days violent fignting.- Eleven
German balloons were sent aloft for
artillery range work. The German
guns were massed only few hundred
feet apart pouring an inferno of fire
on the French.
Lost Ground Recaptured.
The great attack was fruitless. the
Germans failing to gain the new po-
sitions. The French recaptured lost
ground in other sections.
The Germans after concentrating
their forces, bitterly attacked. The
crown princess plan of strategy this
time was to transfer and suddenly
attack from East Hurtebise to west
of that town.
Prlnssaans Lose Heavily.
The two great mile attack won
nothing for the Germans. Between
Chevreaux and Hurtebise the French
regained all their positions lost dur
ing the first days fighting. They
held completely plateaux Craonne
and California. Supporting the belief
of the tremendous losses inflicted on
the attacking troops it became known
Tuesday that in one attack alone
Prussian regiments lost half of their
effectiveness in few hours.

TROOP D FINDS
SOLDIERS LIFE
IS NO S|NECURE

Members of Troop d are learning
that the life of soldier is anything
but a snap. The past two days mas
given them an inkling of the work
that lies before them during the
months which they will spend in mo-
biIization camps. Drill and assembly
police duty and guard mount togeth-
er with the various and sundry
other duties of a federal cavalrYmah
gives them but little time to lie on
their backs and dream of what con-
fronts them in Europe.
The recruits of Troop d. raw and
unframed though they are, are re-
spending with enthusiasm to their
rev life and are picking up the
hang" of the thing in remarkable
manner. Today saw them go through
the similar drill movements in a way
that would deceive the average spec
tator as to the time they have been in
service.
This morning the officers tortneo
them into two platoons and marched
them to Roundup Park where theY
were drilled for an hour and a hait-

The officers today formed police

1t seems probable from the latest
reports from Portland that the equip

troop will be held here until all ol
this equipment arrives there and TINS
may be 10 days or two weeks Yet.
