The present outlook for corn

good, but the boil weevils have

simultaneous thrusts on the Chemin des

Verdun.
In both instances the enemy failed to gain
ground. the War Office reported today
"At p. m. Monday, along the line from
Allies to Palsy, the enemy resumed his
bombardment and violently and forcefully
attacked the trenches. which French forces
fetook yesterday" the statement said. "A
heavy desperate struggle throughout the
night ensued but all positions were MAIN
tained.
"On the left bank Of the Meuse there
was intense artillery firing at midnight in
the sector embraced by Hill 304 and Avo-
court wood. At 2:30 a. m. on a front of
500 yards in the southeast corner of the
wood enemy waves started out of the
trenches. but under our artillery fire did
not reach our lines.
I'm Champagne the French forces blew
up an enemy blockhouse."
The Ales-Paissy sector is one in which
the Germans have twice before attacked in
