OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
B
JJOXDON". July 12. The Anglo-French
Offensive is maintaining- itself as rig
orously as ever against the most deter
mined attacks, which the Germans are
now delivering against the front in
Northern France. The Germans have
-thrown reinforcements into the breach,
having had ample time to recover from
ihe' first shock, and the unexpected
strength of the British and French at
tacks. There is no doubt the Germans had
supposed the French to be enfeebled
greatly south of the Somme because of
the number of troops needed in the de
fense of Verdun against the forces of
the German Crown Prince. The fact
that the allies are progressing so
methodically and even against German
attacks gives the people of the British
and French nations the- greatest satis
faction. i BrltlDh Rttake Lout Ground.
No events of a sensational character
on the front in Northern France were
announced today, but General Haig in
a brief bulletin tonight recounts the re
covery by the British of all the ground
lost yesterday in the Mametz wood.
The British commander tells also of the
repulse of two heavy German attacks
against Contalmaison and of steady
progress by his forces in the Trones
Wood, the scene of much heavy and
desperate fighting during the past few
days.
Incidentally General Haig comments
on the heavy casualties sustained by
the Germans' in th'eiv' attacks against
the British forces north of the Somme.
From General Haig's bulletins it Is
seen that the British are driving stead
ily towards the crest of the ridge com
manding the wide Bipaume plateau.
According to the view of French mili
tary experts there are no. less than
600,000 German bayonets opposing the
advance of General Haig's forces.
Germans Ue Old Guns.
The Reuter correspondent at the
British front reports that two. German
field guns bearing the date "1874" have
been captured by the British. The
correspondent wonders whether, with
out attaching undue importance to the,
incident, these guns do not indicate the
straits to which the Germans are be
ginning to be reduced in order to find
sufficient armament.
On the Russian, front the battle, con
tinues along the Stokhod Rive with
the same determination, to win. "The
Germans are ' reported to be bringing
up all possible reinforcements and guns
in an endeavor to save Kovel, against
which the Russians are advancing.
' PAtllS.' July 12-Alth'oagh the battle
in Picardy which has been raging for
ten days is absorbing most of the at
tention of the German commanders,
they were able yesterday to revive the
struggle at Verdun, making some : ad
vances there and delivering several
sharp local attacks in the Lorraine and
Vosges sections, probably to. conceal
the transfer of troops to the Somme
region.
German Left Advance.
Having maintained their grip on the
Thiaumont work, but failing to de
bouch therefrom, the Germans are now
trying to push forward their left flank.
Their artillery was busy all day yes
terday; all night and this morning they
worked up the bombardment to a pitch
equal to any that has gone before. Then
the bombardment ceased, making way
for the infantry.
One column sought to work its way
along the railroad which runs around
Hill 320 towards the Fleury station sit
uated in the eastern extremity of the
village, but it melted away before the
French fire, as did another column at
tacking Chapitre wood.
Teuton Gain Some Advantage
Columns debouching from Vaux fort,
however, succeeded in getting a bare,
footing after intense fighting in the
Fumin wood to the west and in the
ruined Damloup battery, one of the sub
sidiary outer defenses of Verdun which
lies three-quarters of a mile southwest
of the village on the edge of the Laufee
plateau.
Tire advantage which the Germans
obtained was not great, since the bat
tery is swept by guns from Souville,
Tavannes and Bourvaus.l
Tuesday's operations on the Somme
were confined to completing the work
of Sunday and Monday of clearing the
Germans out of the few isolated posi
tions they still held' in the bend of the
Somme opposite Peronne. The French
troops on the north of the Somme are
continuing their preparations for the
next movement.
German Western Front.
ERLIN, via London, July 12. Ger
man troops on the right bank of
the River Meuse yesterday pushed
forward their positions to a point near

official statement issued today by the
German army headquarters staff. The
statement says:
"The fighting, which began on the
afternoon of July 10, on both sides of
the Bapaume-Albert road near the Con
talmaison and Mametz wood, as well
as in fighting in Trones wood and
south thereof, is continuing with bit
ter stubbornness. . '
"South of the Somme the Frenchsuf
fered a check in a great attack which
they prepared on the Belloy-Soye court
front. The attack broke down com
pletely under our fire and weak forces
"which had been thrown against the
Maisonette-Barleux sector fled to their
starting point with heavy losses.
"At several points on the Champagne
front east and southeast of Rheims.
northeast of Massiges and northwest of
Fleury, partial French attacks were
repulsed.
"In the Meuse region there were only
small engagements to the left of the
river. To the right of the river, we
pushed forward our positions nearer
Souville and the Laufee works, cap
turing 39 officers and 2106 men. A
strong counter-attack was, repulsed
completely.
"German patrol engagements south
west of Dixmude and southwest of
Cerny, in the Aisne region, and also
east of Pf ettershausen were successful.
"An English biplane was compelled
to land within our lines near Athies,
south of Peronne. An enemy aeroplane
fell to earth near Soyecourt. Another
was brought down by our anti-aircraft
guns near Chattencourt. In the vicin
ity of Dombasle. west of the Meuse, a
captive balloon was shot down by our
airmen."

" "On both banks of the Somme last
night passed quietly.
"In the Champagne we captured
prisoners in the course of a small op
eration near Cernay. Also we deliv
ered successful surprise attacks on
trenches of the enemy between Maisons
de Champagne and Le Calvire, noith
of Vilie sur Tourbe.
'On the left bank of the Meuse two
attacks upon one of our trenches at
Deadman Hill failed completely under
our fire.
Or. the right bank a night counter
attack delivered by our troops east of
the Fumin made it possible for us to
reoccupy & portion of the territory
taken yesterday by the enemy. We
took 8 prisoners, including one officer.
"n .the Lorraine district, sector or
Reillon, we .drove the Germans back
from certain trenches, where yesterday
they secured footing. -
"Since the commencement of the bat
tle, the enemy has received large rein
forcements," the announcement says.
"Yesterday and' last night strong hos
tile attacks were made against several
points of our new positions. .
"Except in Mametz wood and Troneo
wood, in both of which localities the
,Qermans regained - some ground,, all'
these attacks- were beaten off w,th
loss to the enemy.
"Between the main battlefield and
the sea we have been actively engaged
in bombarding the. enemy positions and
raiding his front line. Southeast of
Loos a party of Royal Irish Fusiliers
penetrated the enemy's trenches at a
point "where they were strongly held,
and remained there for 20 minutes, dur
ing whicn time heavy fighting took
place In the trenches.
"Many Germans were killed. Our
casualties wero slight.
"Opposite the Hohenzollern redoubt
two companies of Seaforth Highlanders
forced their way into another portion
of the enemy trenches after a stiff
fight. " Many Germans were killed or
wounded. A hostile machine gun was
destroyed. Severart... dugouts crowded
with the enemy- were successfully
bombed and some prisoners were taken.
"Several combats in the air took
place on -July 10. as a result of which
we destroyed one German machine,
while one of our own machines warf
brought down by the enemy gun fire."
A supplemental communication is

ing to report during the course of the
day.
"On the left bank, of the Meuse a
rather spirited artillery action occurred
in the see.tor of Le Mort Homme.
"On the right bank the Germans un
dertook this morning a strong effort in
the direction of Fort Souville. About
10 o'clock, after intense artillery prep
aration, a strong attack with effectives
of six regiments, debouched from ' the
village of Fleury and the Vaux and
Chapitre woods. Notwithstanding the
violence of the assaults, which were
launched in massed formation on a
front relatively narrow, the enemy suc
ceeded at the cost of enormous losses
in gaining only a little ground in the
neighborhood of the chapel of Sainte
Fine at the intersection of the Freury
and Vaux roads. The bombardment
continued with great violence in the
whole region of Souville, Chenols and
La Laufee. '
"In Lorraine an attempt against one

The retirement, according to advices

The fierce fighting which has marked
the Russian advance across the Stokhod
River toward Kovel appears to have
quieted down. Petrograd says there
has been .fighting on this sector, but
mentions oply two minor attacks- by
the Germans which, it adds, were re
pulsed. There has been some activity
north of the Stokhod region, but. in
Bukowina and Galicia the . advance of
General Brussiloffs troops seem to
have halted for the moment. -
