(By Review Leased wlrel.

LONDON, Oct 3.-An attack by the Germans this morning between Tower Hamlets and Tolyson Wood. following a. vigorous artillery fire was repulsed either by barrage or British infantry, according to the report from Field Marshal Haig tonight. All the British positions remain intact
 The statements says:
 Shortly before dawn the enemy heavily bombarded our positions be- tween Tower Hamlets and POlygon Wood; af f.erward his infantry attempt ed to advance. Our artillery opened vigorously and on the greater part of the front the assault broke down be- fore reaching our lines.
 "In the area immediately north of the Menin road where a few of the enemy succeeded in passing through the barrage, they were completely re- pulsed by our infantry. Our positions are intact.
 "Six German machines were brought down in the air fight and four others were driven down out of control. Six of our machines are missing"
 Since the middle of last week the German armies in Flanders daily have been irving to wrest from the British the territory taken from them in the recent big offensive of Field-Marshal Haig.
 Tries Again
 As on previous days Grown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria on Wednesday unleashed large numbers of his troops in an attmept to reeapture Terrian on the Ypres sector where the British are seriously theatening his communi- cation line with Ostend and the sub marine base at Zeebrugge. Ever watchful gunners of Haig again wrought havoc among the attacking waves and dispersed the Germans with heavy casualties and retained all their positions intact.
 Pounding Keeps Up.
 There still is no indication of the time set by Field Marshal Haig for the renewal of his efforts to press on toward and cut the Os.end-Lille rail way. but he is steadily keeping up his pounding of the German trenches with his masses of artillery of all ealibres.
 Reports Differ.
 Although the German war office as- serts that in Tuesdays fighting along the eastern bank of the Mouse. in the verdun sector he Germons captured comparatively long line of French trenches, the official French communi- eaton makes no mention of this and asserts merely that violent artillery fighting and spirited patrol engage ments took place.
 Airmen Bomb Zeebruege.
 While British and French airmen continue their bombing operations against Germany's submarine base at eebrugge and points of military im- portance behind the lines the French aviators are keeping up their attacks on German towns and cities in repris- al for the smelling by German aircraft of the open town of Bar-leDuc. More than fifteen thousand pounds of explO-
 
 sives are reported to have been drop ped on numerous German settlements among them the famous town of Ba- den, famed as a health resort.
 Italians Also Busy.
 Likewise the Italians are giving the Austrians little respite flom aerial in- cursions. again having dropped four tons of projectiles on military Objec- tives at Pola. the great Austrian naval base on the Adriatic and bombed oth- CT points of military advantage. In- addition the Italians have repulsed de- cisively another Austrian attack on the western slopes of Monte San Ga briele in the Gorizia sector.
 Small Shipping Loss.
 Great Britain's loss of thirteen mer- chant vessels through attacks by sub marines and by striking mines last week was the lowest since Germany started her intensified submarine war fare in February.
 The embargo placed by Great Brit ain on the exportation of all supplies to Holland and Scandinavia was made on the insistence of the American gov ernment, so that it's own embargo against the neutrals, aiming at the cut ting of of shipments of all kinds to Germany, should not be nullifed.
