Hold on Lens.

LONDON, Aug. l1.-That the Ger.

fetal reports in order to encourage
tie people back home, is the charge
of the British official press today. II
Cted the specific instance of 4 claim
that the Germans still held Iange-
narck, which has been In British
hands for some time, with the cap
tors pressing on further on the other
side and also the claim that the Brit

miles whereas IL was over a much
smaller area.

Schoote, where the french advance.

the British attacks were repuised and
that Langemarck is still In German
hands. This claim OF the German
general staff Is officially denied In
London. which says that the the 3rlt-
ish hold not only Langemarck. but
also ground beyond the village. Lon
don also officially denied that the
fighting front was twenty miles long
as Berlin declares Field Marshal
l'aig on Thursday reported the fight
ing front In the Ypres area as being
nine miles IN length. The ierman
general STAFF reports Thursdays fight
ing as a full victory for the Teu-
tons, althc admitting some rcverses
and claiming TO gains.
Canadians Squeezing Lens.
Between Loos ana Lens the Cana
dians are plunging away toward the
capture of the last named place. They
have consolidated and made secure
their recent gains and have made fur
ther progress west of Lens.
The German crown prince is not
yet sure that the French positions
along the Aisne front are invulner-
able and his latest attacks here have
failed as did all his previous ones.
one German effort was on a front
of more than mile in the resion of
the California plateau. 1t was
stopped by the French artillery. The
French also checked German at.
tack at Cerny. The crown prince
took the iritiative on the right bank
OF the Meuse, but MS attacks were
broken up with loss.
Che Austro- German offensive IN
southwestern Mold1via apparently Is
slowing down before the stubborn re-
sistance of the Russians and ltu-
manians. The latter are still fight
ing desperately in the area of rok-
shani and the 2ereth river and Field
