Progress Of Great Battle in the West
As Told by Official Communications

Powerful artillery preparations
for the great thrust which the French
army was TO conduct at Engiand's
command began Aug. IL. From Avo-
court wood to the western fringe OF
Caurieres wood our positions were
turned into a wide and desolate
crater. Field by the enemy's artil-
lery firing which increased to the
most extreme intensity for q few
hours before the attack early Mon
day morning. The French infantry
were in dense waves which came for
ward to assault in deep formations
behind the artillery Are that had
been lifted forward to protect them.
In many places native and white
French troops penetrated ours defen-
sive zone in which every step for
ward had 20 be wrested from our
fighting troops with sanguinary loss
es. Bitter hand to hand lighting and
powerful counter attacks drove back
the enemy almost everywhere. The
mighty struggle swayed to and fro
throughout the whole day.
ION the western bank of the Meuse
only the height Of lie Mort Homme
and the southern fringe OF Raven
wood remained in the hands Of the
French. There we ara situated In
close proximity. to the northern slope
of the hill.
ION the eastern bank OF the Meuse
the lighting line has been still less
detected. Only on height S44 and
in Fosse wood has the enemy won a
little ground. The measures taken
by our leaders proved splendid, as
did also the typical tenacity and
bravery OF the infantry. The artil-
Iery IL also deserving Of full praise.
The effect OF its destruction fire
against the enemy forward works
appreciably impeded the advance to
the attack. and the artillery also took
a prominent part in our successful
defense. The other arms particular
~ the pioneers and aviators. mater
tally assisted in the satisfactory ter
mination of the cay.
1.-The losses TO the French infantry
in relation to the masses used are
extraordinarily high. The battle be-
fore Verdun has not terminated.
Fresh engagements developed at
various places. Both leaders and
troops anticipate a favorable CON
ciusfon.
"Twenty-six enemy airmen were
shot down: We lost Ave airplanes.
Eastern theater: From the Dvina
to the Danube the situation remains
unchanged. In Macedonia there Is
nothing OF importance to report.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The forces

at least two rif1es per man ae an ado

This situation will be OF very short

soon after the national army forces
are mobilised.

be no delay in repairing the weapons
in the field, the war department. has
standardized the gauges and other
appliances at the three American

in the opinion of army ofncials that
disadvantage is more than Offset by
the fact that parts built by one fac
tory can be used in repairing a gun

The matter as between the at

hazy. The attorney general is a
