and far into the night. flung them
selves in furious masses against the
newly won French positions on the

Germans could consolidate their
gains they were rolled back to their
old lines. leaving great mounds of
dead and dying behind.

Storms and thick fog banks on
the Italian front have failed to
check the savage fighting that RACES

patches from the Italian base at

stumbling along the wet and slip
perry mountain slopes the troops ad-
vance against foeman hidden in the
mist while the fog blanket is pierced
by the flashes of innumerable big

the Riga-Dvina river sector. The
Germans are preparing for a vigor-
Gus effort along the shore Of the
Gulf Of Riga. having thrown a num-
Der Of bridge across the River IA
