YANKS GAIN IN FACE
OF HOT RESISTANCE
Desperately Severe Fighting in
Verdun Sector Fails to
Check Advance.
BY the 4ssociGted Press.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTH
WEST br VERDuN, Oct. e5.--From a day
Of extraordinarily severe fighting the
Americans emerged tonight slightly in
advance OF the positions they held yes
terdsy. The gains made are slight. but
are regarded as extremely important,
especially on the left where higher
ground dominating much OF the sur
rounding terrain has been gained.
There has been comparatively little
alteration IN the positions on the centre.
but the American footing in Belleu
Woods east of the Meuse. was more
! securely Fixed. notwithstanding the de-
7 trrmined >efforts Of the Germans TO force
the Americans back.
The fighting for positions just beyond
Beleu Woods began at O'Clock this
morning, when the Americans drove
their way forward. At daylight the
Germans counter attacked. and since the
| failure of that operation have launched
| three other attacks equally unsuccesful.
I. On the extreme left the gains made by
I the Americans left them at the close OF
. tho day on the ridge extending from
| Talma Farm to Bellejoyeuse Farm, on n
| line through Bourgogne Woods.

lery. employing both high explosives and

was used by both sides. Besides the ar
! tillery reaction at points where the Of
| fensive was in progress, the Germans de-
! voted much fire to the back areas and
! that part of the front about Bantheville.
where the American line was advanced
| slightly.
Despite the desperate resistance OF the
Germans and their apparent intention TO
initiate q counter offensive, information
falling into the hands of the Americans
| continues to indicate an enemy with
drawal to the Briquensy line, one In
| formant declaring It to be the intention
OF the Germans to Withdrew to that po-
sition between October rs and 81.
| Among the prisoners captured by the
! Americans are members OF the Twenty
eighth Division. known as the Plying
! Shock Division
! Twelve American soldiers separated
, from their own lines have returned after
spending four days and four nights hid
Ing in shell holes and underbrush in the
region OF Loges Farm, They fought off
| small detachments OF Germans. but were
unable to reach places Of safety because
of the enemy sharpshooters.
Notwithstanding the constant harass-
| ing the twelve made patrolling expedi-
tlons each night and brought back val
liable Information regarding the enemy
gun positions. Their only food during
the four days consisted Of their emer-
gency rations and these they ate the

ENEMY FIGHTS HARD
ON OLSE-SERRE FRONT
Waterways Are Diverted to
Delay Advance of French.
By the Associated Press.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE.
Oct. 25.-Gen. Debeney's attack between
Mont d'Origny and the valley Of the
Scrre is meeting with very stout resist
ance. The battle was raging again
Aercely this morning around Villers lie
Sec. which was occupied by the French
troops.
Tho Germans have brought up three
fresh divisions 10 this sector In the last
few days and appear determined to dis
sputs possession Of every foot OF ground.
They are particularly favored by the
character of the terrain. which Is very
broken and furnishes strong natural OBJ
stacles. which the enemy has utilized TO
the utmost by adding field fortifcations
upon which he has been working the last
four weeks.
The position Gen. DeDeney's men are
attacking from Ribecourt southeast TO
the Valley of the Serre Is called the
Herman position by the Germans. Con-
siderable of its general characteristics
has been learned from captured orders
and the reports Of aviators. This Is not
.&upposed to have the same strength as
the Hindenburg line, but Is sufficiently
strong to permit stout defence. Be-
hind this line again there Is an extension
Of the Hunding position in front OF
Guiss, to which the Germans no doubt
finished.
In the valley Of The Disc the Ger
mans have formidably strengthened the
natural defences by artificial floods
from the region Of Guise southwark TO
La Ferte. Dams prepared long ago
for use in the event OF a retreat have
enabled the Germans to divert the
waters of the -Oise and spread them
through the valley. They also have
another waterline In the valley OF the
.Ssrre to protect their present positions.
In spite OF the formidable obsta cles
encountered and almost constant service
jn the fighting line for the past three
,menths. the forces - Sen. Debeney
continue to forge ahead and will soon
have driven the enemy back upon the
old battle fields of the retreat from
yCharieroi in 1914. The Germans are
expected TO make q stand around Guiss
.where the French held them up for a
short time during their march to the
Marine.
The tactics of the Germans appear
sto DO to hold as long as they can or
rheir chosen positions. retiring to one
after another as circumstances require
and forcing the French troops to de.
diver an attack TO drive them from
each hating place. This plan aided BY
the nature OF the ground over which
they are retiring obiiges the German:
to make great sacrifices as IL shown by
the increased number of dead found
'on the battlefield.

The Germans in their withdrawal
movement have not yet reached the line
pf Antwerp Brussels Namur, but II does
not seem probable that they will halt
there when the line Is reached but Will
continue the retirement TO the line OF
Die Mouse. The Antwerp line presents
few natural features for defence, and the
Germans have not constructed extensive
defences along it,
However, the Germans must retire to
Q shorter line. Their reserves are ex-
hausted and the hard pressed armies
must have breathing space. In the
last few weeks the German High Com.
,jhand has not been able to maintain a
fresh reserve OF more than three OF four
divisions.
The internal condition Of the German
army also Is none too good. Mutinous
conduct on the part Of drafts has been
bf frequent occurrence. On one occa-
sion draft whose trustworthiness was
suspected was sent of without ammuni-
ton. However. they had concealed am
munition and opened fire on the parade
ground as their train moved out.
