Ypres was the object of renewed and violent attacks by concentrated German forces of artillery and infantry, infan-try, on Tuesday, the assaults being directed from the east and from the south. Temporary gains were enjoyed en-joyed by the invaders, several of the advanced British and French positions posi-tions being occupied for a few hours, but the close of the day saw the Ger-rrtans Ger-rrtans repelled and the,, allies' line still intact, with the situation unmodified, un-modified, according to advices from Paris. From the Yser to the Meuse on Tuesday, the French made progress wherever they attacked, according to the official communication from the French sources. In the Argonne region the 'French withdrew several days ago from a series of trenches occupying an advanced ad-vanced position. Before quitting them the engineers mined the in-trenchments, in-trenchments, concealing the wires that controlled them and which led to the rear positions that the French took up after their withdrawal. The Germans advanced and occupied the abandoned ditches, whereupon the mines were exploded and the German Ger-man detachments badly cut up. The Germans are making their last Btand on the left bank of the Meuse. Chauvancourt is the only point of Bupport still held by the invaders in the region of St. Mihiel and Tuesday the French advanced until they were able to occupy the first houses in the village. These dwellings had been used as barracks by the garrison of the town. The Germans were driven from them in such haste that they, left considerable equipment in their quarters. Across the inundated region between be-tween Nieuport and Dixmude the Germans Ger-mans continued a furious cannonading, cannonad-ing, on Tuesday, if anything mil furious than during the previous days, but the effect was practically nil. In fact, the Belgians, worn out by their arduous campaigning of the past week, kept well to their trenches, not making any great effort toward effective effec-tive reply. |
