Renewed activity by the Belgian army is related today Ju a dispatch trom the Belgian Minister of War to the Belgian embassy here, and at the same time the French offi cial report declares that fresh successes have been recorded between the Meuse and the Moselle. Gains in the vicinity of Verdun are also reported and much Importance is attached to them. The Belgian report said: "The western side of the Tser canal In the direction of Drel Grachen has been completely freed of the enemy by Belgian troops. The Germans fled in disorder, leaving: behind them machine guns and ammunition. The French official statement regard 1ns the progress of the campaign. Issued tonigth at Paris, said: "Despite the continued bad weather fresh successes were won yesterday ana today between the Meuse and the Mo selle. At Eparges a night attack en abled us to make a step In advance and we have maintained our progress, not withstanding three violent counter-attacks. We have alerady counted on the field more, than 1000 dead Germans. Company of Infantry Wiped Oat. "Further to' '. the south, near Lamor Ttlle. In a spirited Infantry action, we wiped out a German company ana wo Drisoners the ten survivors. "In the Ailly wood we carried ad ditional trenches and repulsed two counter-attacks. In the forest of Mont mare, north of Flirey. we gained a foot insr in the enemy's defense works and htld our ground there in spite of the efforts the enemy made to regain thera. "To the northeast of this wood the cable of a captive balloo t Was severed by one of our shells ar,d the balloon drifted across pur linerf toward the southeast. "To sura up: The offensive recon naissances and attacks which we have carried out since April 4 between the Meuse and the Moselle have given the following results: , "First, on the northeast and east fronts of Verdun we have gained on a front of 20. kilometers from one to three kilometers and occupied the heights which dominate the course of the Orne river and carried the vil lages of Gussainville and Fromezey. Captured Ground Retained. "Second, on the heights of the Meuse. at Eparges. we have carried almost the whole of the strong posi tton held by the enemy on the plateau which commands Combres and we re tain the ground captured In the face of numerous and violent counter-attacks. "Third, further to the south, near St. Mihiel. we have caDtured the entire southwestern portion of the Ailly wood, where the Germans were strong ly established. This they have been unable to retake, despite repeated counter attacks. "Fourth, in Southern Woevre. be tween the forest of Montmare and the forest of L.e Pretre, we have gained on a front of seven to eight kilometers, a distance of three kilometers (nearly two miles) and have taken from the enemy the villages of Fey-en-Haye and Kcgneville. "At all these points the Germans Buffered heavy losses, as can be es tablished from the number of bodies found at Eparges." Germans Say Attacks Failed. - The German official report, received from Berlin, deals with the event3 of yesterday and says: "The fighting between the Meuse and the Moselle continued yesterday. In the plain of the Woevre. east and southeast of Verdun, all French at tacks failed. In the Combres Hills forces of the enemy, which had at certain places penetrated into our outer trenches, were driven back by a counter-attack. Battalions of the enemy, which advanced against our positions from the wood of Selouse. north of St. Mihiel, were driven back into the forest with heavy losses. "Bitter fighting at short range Is again going on in the Forest of Ailly. Tn the forest to the west of Apremont our troops are, in pursuit of the enemy, who made an unsuccessful attack. Their attacks on positions north of Flirey, as well as two evening attacks to the west of the L,e Tretre forest, broke down under our fire and they sustained heavy losses. Three French advances during the night in the Le Pretre forest failed. The total French losses along the entire front Again has been, extraor dinarily heavy, without their gaining even the slightest success," replied today to a charge made by James Keir-Hardie, at the meeting of the- Independent Labor party at Nor wich, that the Chancellor had maligned and insulted workmen and that as a result word had gone around the world that "the working classes were a set of drunken wasters." The Chancellor declares that he par ticularly said it was a minority of the men against whom the charge of ex cessive drinking was made, and re peats the statement that "the drinking habits of the minority have the effect of seriously diminishing the output of . 1 ,. ,imh when thft UC- cess of the allies depends entirely on that material being largely inureaoeu.
