Show 1000 DEAD REMAIN ! ON BATTLEFIELD, GERMAN ATTEMPT TO RECOUP LOSSES ON THE FRENCH FRONT RESULTS DISASTROUSLY. Engineers Bridge River in Livonia and Concentration Is Being Carried Under Un-der Cover of Cavalry British Guns Booming Continuously in Flanders. Again Hip I-'reneh ami tho Uorninns are eiignged in extremely heavy lighf-jnjr lighf-jnjr in the Verdun seetor, with the (lor-liinns (lor-liinns trying to recoup their hisses of Hie end of last week on the right thud; of the Mouse, but with (loneral return's re-turn's forces holding them back almost al-most everywhere and covering the ground with their dead. Over a front of nearly two miles the Germans Sunday morning, following unsuccessful attacks Saturday night in the sector of the Bois des Fosses and the Bois des Caurieres, returned to the fray witli renewed vigor, especially espe-cially around hill 34-1. At some points French trenches were captured by the Germans, but from these they later were driven out and the French line was entirely reest-nhlished. In the fighting around the Bois des Fosses Saturday night the Germans letf nearly near-ly 1000 dead on the ground before the French positions. At various points on the front held by Field Marshal Haig the Berlin troops have delivered successful attacks, at-tacks, especially northwest of St. Qnentin, where German positions on a front of several hundred yards were captured and prisoners taken. In Flanders the British guns are still roaring in the mighty bombardment bombard-ment that has been in progress more than a fortnight, but .as yet the infantry infan-try has not been loosed for the impending im-pending dash into the enemy territory. The Berlin war office reports that northeast of St. Julien the British delivered de-livered an attack Saturday night, but met with repulse. Likewise, says Berlin, Ber-lin, strong British reconnaissances south of La Bassee canal and along the Scarpe river were without success. The British official communication makes no mention of the forays. There has been a considerable slackening slack-ening in the German advance in northern north-ern Russia, due in large measure to the Russians making stands at several points, particularly on the front of the Pskoff railroad line leading eastward from Riga. |
