mans, who, after several unsuccess-
full attempts, won them from the
French, but at the cost of heavy cas-

Southeast of Corbeny the Ger

also endeavored to force the Frencl,
line but here they were repulsed,
losing heavily their men who were
led by picked battalions of storming
troops.
Field Marshal Haig's forces, in an
offensive in the region of Oppy,
have taken German positions on a
front of two thousand yards and
have forced their way into the town
of Avion, two miles south of Lens.
In addition, successful trench raid
