Attacks In Champagne Region.
The statement of the war office in
~ “In the western theater of war, near
Perthes, in Champagne, French in-
fantry divisions made an attack on
several places. Violent hand-to-hand
fighting took place, which everywhere
resulted in favor of the Germans. The
enemy suffered heavy losses and was
driven back to his positions.
“In the Vosges German ° attacks
against Sulzern and Muelbach, east of:
Stossweier, made progress. In the
engagements during the last few days
we made 500 prisoners.”

A bitter conflict still rages .in the
Champagne region and in the Vosges
on the western battle front. .
The German general staff admits
that the French are making a tena-
cious fight in Champagne, particularly
in the vicinity of Perthes, but claims
that the hand to hand combat there '
is proceeding favorably to the Ger-
mans.
The Germans continue their as-
saults against the British on the
Flanders end of the line. Along the
North sea coast the Germans succeed-
ed in making a gain and the French
war office now admits that fighting is
taking place west of Lombaertzyde.
Between Ypres and the French front
the Germans have been making furi-
ous drives against the British trench-
es, the infantry attacks being varied
by the terrific artillery fire.
