PARIS, July 1O.-The war office
today issued the following report:
Yesterday evening the enemy's
bombardment reached a degree OF
violence in different sectors OF the
Aisne front. Local attacks on
trenches north OF the Laffaux Mill
and southeast OF Allies were re-
pulsed by our fire. Further east,
at about $3.50 p. M, the enemy
made a strong attack on our POSI-

vain. Unable to approach our
line. the enemy troops were dis
persed, suffering severely.
Surprise attacks on advanced
posts southeast OF Corbeny in the
vicinity OF Courcy, in the sector
OF Auberive, and near Caurieres
Wood, cost the enemy losses and
gave him no result. A certain
number OF prisoners remained in
our hands.
