front west of the Meuse were bon
barded vigorously by the Germans.
The attack was centered on Avo
court wood and the first line trenches
north of Hill No. 304. in the Woevre

which these developments are report

On the whole Verdun sector west of
the Meuse, from Cumieres to Av. eourt,
intense fighting was in progress all of
Monday and Monday night. l.e Mor:

the chief prize, but the net result of
the struggle left the lines of both
sides practically unchanged.
The Germans attempted a diversion
in Lorraine, southeast of Badonvillers.
Some of the attacking troops succeel
ed in reaching the French trenches
at La Chapelotte, but here they were
isolated and practically annihilated.
