War Summary

The fourth day OF the terrific
struggle on the British front In
France has opened with both sides
still striving vainly for decision.
The Germans have resorted to the
terribly costly tactics of massed
attacks and have apparently sue
ceeded in checking the British ad-
vance. This part success has
been won, according to spec
tators. at a staggering toll Of
human life
Last nights fighting in the great
battle in the Arras region seems
to have been chiefly in connection
with a renewed German effort to
wrest from the British the village
of Gavrelle. Through the cap
ture of this place on Monday, Gen
eral Haig pushed a sharp wedge
into the German line.
On the Aisne battle front the
French also had to contend with
violent German reactions. The
Germans lost heavily In the break
ing of these assaults by the
French artillery fire.
