Describing the alxth raid on Dunkirk,

"The battle lasted about 45 minutes,

"The machine was wrecked and the

AIR ATTACK ON LONDON

FAIUS, Jan. 12. As a fleet ot 1G Zeppe

days, the, authorities hero reached the
conclusion that the aeroplanes sent to
ward Paris were scouts, tho German In
tention to dispatch the main body of air
craft promptly after them having been
foiled by adverse upper air currents.
It t not Supposed that so large a fleet
rtook to the air solely for the purpose of
dropping bombs on Dunkirk, but that
Sunday's light attack on that place was
merely Incidental to tho return of the

PARIS, Jan. 12.
Fighting which equals In Intensltv anv
of the present war continues In the
vicinity of Solssons, where the Germans
aro vainly endeavoring to letake the three
lines of trenches captured bv the AHIpk.
'Possession of these trenches has given
the French a dlftlnct advantage, fui, if
they can be held. It, will be possible to
utilize mine throwers, from them to de
molish he main lines of German de
fenses, which extend around the base
of the hills north of Solssons. A drive
against Laon, an Important German
strategic centre, Is evidently the object of
the present movement.
Tho entire front of the trenches Is cov
ered with German d ad and wounded.
The French, with the advantage of cover,
are losing far fewer men than the enemy,
although their losses are admitted to be
considerable,
Violent fighting Is also reported today
north of Beausejour In the Argonne (mid
way on the battle line between Rhelms
and Verdun), where the Germans have
attempted a general advance with the
evident purpose of driving another wedge
Jnto the French line and starting an en
veloping movement upon Verdun. The
official statement Issued today by the
War Office admits that the Germans have
succeeded In gaining a foothold inside of
tha French earthworks north of the
Beausejour farm, near Perthes.
Tha statement saya that the French
artillery la effectively shelling the Ger

on ths heights along the River Meuse
two German attacks were repulsed.
