was one of the biggest off ensives they
have made since, Verdun so far' as ar
tillery-was "concerned, and proved an
undoubted failure. , ; k

front lines ahot rear positions and "all

It was; known that the Prussian
guards and several other division!
faced the, French positions,, witfjeoth?
er fresh troops-were hurrying across
the Ailefte. Valley from thej hortfr; Th
French gtn awred shit - for; shot;

soon as the Germans hegan . itb; leave
their jumping-off parallels.
German shoek units as usual led the
way f oHowed hy waves of ordinary
infantry. In the sector from Hurte
bise to Casemates; Plateau the attack
ing forces soon melted to 41 .thin line
under the withering fire, and those
still able retreated hurriedly to their
own line, which meanwhile came un
der an inferno of French shellfire.
In he same period, from Casemates
to Californie plateau, other German
troops were suffering heavily under
similar conditions.
Where their line bent momentarily
the French troops organized imme
diate counter attacks and reconquered
nearly everything temporarily taken
from them. A French captain, who
fell wounded and was captured was
later rescued by his own men when
the Germans were forced back. He
affirmed that German soldiers among:
Avhq mhe lay declared that several
waves of German troops when order
ed to go over the top, refused to ven
ture into the .terrific fire which swept
away eveiything Jn the open.
Aviators were busy throughout the
day and At was a bad day for an in
fantry attack because the clearness of
the air made every movement visible
to the airmen and the observers in
kite balloons. - '
The gain of a few hundred yards
of a front line trench, which is all
that remains in German hands, ap
pears small compensation for the
fierce fighting in the forty attacks of
the last ten weeks, during which con
servative estimates place. -the German!
losses in the vicinity of the Chemin-Xdes-Dames
alone at six figures.
SOME FISHING!
On Monday morning Messrs. Jno.
T. Wade, J. W. and R. T. Brooks left
here for eastern Virginia where they
spent the week fishing, and if half
the tales they tell are facts, they sure
caught sJme fish. The largest report
ed is fourteen pounds, while the
greatest catch from one hole-was' two
three-bushel sacks full to the over
flowing. If everything a fisherman
tells you is to-be believed, there cer
tainly are not as many fish' down that
way as when they went there. But
these boys are all born fishermen and
r as it is some distance from here to the
ffshing grounds: visited you will have
to make some allowanees for time and
distance. ! ''' ; C' --K ;.
