Their Attacks
Are Easily
Repulsed
GERMANS HAVE NO VERY
STRONG HOLD ON GROUND
They RECENTLY SEIZED
by Associated Press. }

After failing disastrously in their
recent effort to drive the French
from commanding positions on the
on the Aisne
front, the Germans are turning their
attention to Champagne. Attacks
were made by the Crown Princes
troops last night west of Montcar-
nillet and southeast of Lahure. The
drives apparently are not so intense
as those along the Aisne last week
Paris says they were easily repulsed.
Ar,llery fighting is proceeding Wig
orNusly on these and other sectors in
Champagne. In the Verdun section
the French guns are busy with the
evident intention of making German
trenches west and north of Hill 3O4
untenable. Apparently the Germans
have none too tight hold on ground
they seized in rush few days
ago.
London is reticent as to what is
going on at the British front in
France. Some activity is reported
in Macedonia but not on large
scale
Both Russians and Germans cepo-:
increased artillery activity on the
eastern front The italians report
surprise attack which advanced their
line Wednesday night. They held
out against counter attacks.
