Heavy Losses Weaken TeutOns.
The entente line, as it now runs,
with British, French and Americans
standing together, presents an un-
broken front throughout the battle
area. There has been a slowing down
in the German pressure north Of the
Somme, except possibly in the vicinity
OF Albert, where the British are hold
ing doggedly. In the Noyon region
and along the line Of the Disc. 10 the
east, the French, by their valiant de-
fense, have likewise compelled the
Teutons. weakened by their ceaseless
efforts and heavy losses, to relax the
force Of their pressure.
The British line from the Scarpe
river southwest through Albert to the
Somme has held fast for "a hours and
the Germans have been repulsed in
local attacks along this sector. The
front here is now west OF the old
Somme battlefield and west of the
Ancre river just north of Albert,
which is eighteen miles northwest of
Amiens
1t is reported from Berlin unoffi-
cially that French and American
troops have carried out strong counter
attacks south of La Ferre against the
pivot of the German line but without
success.
