Once again the Germans have en-

on the Verdun sector, but again have
failed. Two assaults delivered north
of the Caurieres wood resulted in the
defeat of the enemy and the infiction
OF heavy casualties. The Germans at
one point succeeded in penetrating a

On the northern Italian front there

A very attractive program is being
prepared and arrangements are being
made to have several men from other

II is hoped that every County Road

a number of the courts will be entire
