Attempted German Ad-
vance Hurled Back With
Heavy Losses q.
French Repel Three
Fierce Assaults
Foe Gains Footing on Right
Bank of Meuse; Then
Driven Out

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Tho Crown
Prince launched five distinct attacks
against the French lines north of YER
dun to-day, but when the furious strug-
gle, which lasted throughout the day,
came to an end he had nothing to
show for his efforts. 1t was a repeti-
tion Of all the recent German attempts
against the Verdun lines: complete
failure, with heavy losses.
The first three assaults were de-
livercd simultaneously this morning,
evidently with the intention of smash
ing the French defences in at least one
OF the points selected for attack by dl-
verting Petain's reserves TO the other
fields Of battle. On the right bank Of
the Meuse four battalions of Germans,
supported by special shock troops, ad.
vanced on front OF a mile and a
quarter against the French positions
north of Chaume Wood. Although the
attack was carried out with great force,
the advancing columns became disor-
gained by the deadly barrage raised
by the French guns, and only in the
centre were able even to reach the
French trenches. Where they did gain
a temporary footing in the advanced
lines they were soon stunned by the
fury Of the French counter attacks and
forced 10 withdraw, leaving many OF
their dead and wounded behind them
Attack on Left
While this operations was under way
two additional German units took up
the attack on the left bank Of the river,
one against the trenches north OF Be
zonvaux, the other south of Beaumont.
Both these movements met with san
culinary defeat, Paris officially reports.
The French troops did not wait for the
on-coming columns, but after the bar
rage Of their own gunners had llfted
they rushed forward TO meet the en-
envy. who was hurled back before he
could reach his detectives.
In the afternoon, after brief respite,
the Crown Prince again sent his men
forward against the Chaume Wood po-
sitions. Two attacks were delivered,
but they resulted only in increasing the
losses of the Germans. Few prisoners
were taken during these actions-only
fifty-for the fighting was too desper-
ate.
Big Guns More Active
On the Flanders front the artillery
duel again has reached pitch Of great
intensity from the coast TO the Arras
region. While Berlin reports that
there have been no fresh British at
tacks," it is clear from unofficial ad-
vices reporting the massing OF German
troops in and around Ostend that the
German command is in momentary ex-
pectation OF a renewal of Haig's drive,
with perhaps actions directed immedi-
ately against the coast positions.
From Houtholst Wood TO the Hole
beke region. east OF Ypres, and aIone
the Scarpe, in the Arras sector, the big
guns are raining shells into the oppos-
ing trenches. The British are reported
TO be maintaining a constant barrage OF
fire on the advanced positions OF the
enemy east of Arras and along the
Cambria road. Lively patrol engage

Russians Seize
German Positions
On Riga Front
Slavs Take Offensive, Re-
capture Ground and Cause
Heavy Losses

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Russians
took up the offensive south OF the
Riga-Pskoff road yesterday and
achieved a considerable success. Strong
German positions in the sector OF Sill
zeme were occupied after fierce
struggle, in which sixty prisoners and
ten machine guns were captured by
the attackers. The losses Of the Ger
mans we're severe, 400 bodies being
counted on the battlefield. During the
action the Russian General Sokolov
was wounded in the head b. shrap-
mel splinter.
The evident purpose OF the new
Russian attacks on the northern front
is 70 reestablish their lines along the
Dvina, and thus prevent the Germans
from breaking through their front In
the region Of Dvinsk. The present
Russian line, north OF Riga, extends
in an arc bending southeast from the
coast Of the Gulf of Riga to Dvinsk.
In the centre of this front flows the
River Aa, behind which the Russians
finally stood off the enemy after the
disastrous retreat from the Dvina.
The reoccupation Of the ground be-
tween the IA and the Dvina would
partially remove the threat Of the Ger
mans breaking through the Russian
front on the lower Dvina. advancing
along the right bank and capturing
Dvinsk, and it would give the Russians
q firm defensive line for the winter and
q position from which they could strike
next year if the army is again put upon
its feet.

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE BRIT
ISL FRONT IN FRANCE, Sunday,
Sept. 23.-On an historic battlefield
which merges into the fighting lines
are encamped many American troops,
far removed from the rest of their
compatriots, who form the vanguard
of Uncle Sans expeditionary force in
France.
And they are credit to the Stars
and Stripes, for the first time flying
over a camp of American soldiers in
this part of the war-wrecked world.
Some Of them have been working
continually in a zone covered by Ger
man guns, and already two OF their
number have been wounded, a fact
whereof they are exceedingly proud.
The Associated Press heard these
men were here and sought them out.
The sight of their bronzed faces and
the sound of their cheerful, determined
voices more than repaid for the long
journey. Nearly two months of hard
work in the open under real campaign
ing conditions has made them ready for
anything.
Their only grievance is that for the
present they are not permitted to get
into real action. In fact, until a strin-
gent order was issued recently the
American officers had hard time keep
ing their men out of the British front
line trenches. II is said that more than
one American soldier has crept away
when off dutv and after making friends
with the "Tommies" mas taken his
place beside them for a few glorious
minutes while a minor battle was pro-
crossing.
Officers, Too, Are Eager
Il would have been unwise, perhaps,
for the correspondent 70 inuuire too
closely whether any Of the American
officers had done their bit" in this
manner. Nevertheless, the correspond
ent had grave suspicious that some OF
them had been "oycr the top" with
their allies in early days before orders
forbade it. However, they are good
disciplinarians.

ent camps, and in each there were the
same scenes of methodical activity
Of American methods.
Efficiency was the byword everywhere.
The second camp was reached when
the officers and men were preparing for
mess. Several clcan-cut young officers
came out to greet the correspondent

can camp had he been blindfolded.
