GERMANS CHECK FRENCH,
INFLICTING GREAT LOSS
Berlin Reports Offensive Between
Mcuso and Moselle Broken.
BERLIN, April 12.
Tho new French attempt to crush tho
German wedge between the Meuse and
Mosello has been defeated with enormous
losses, according to dispatches received
here today. While the onslaughts con
tinue with great fierceness, the enemy has
suffered a definite check on both sides
of the wedce.
, The. French losses In the last week's
ji&iiuui, til una ihiuii iiu .auuupij esti
mated at between 13.000 and 40.000.
Though large bodies of troops have been
thrown against tho St. Mlhlel-Etaln lino
the northern side of the German wedge
the gains made by the French havo been
of no military Importance. In the centre
the French succeeded In advancing their
lines a. few hundred yards, but have been
unable to make further progress because
of the dominant position of the German
artillery around Combrcs.
The French gain In this locality has
been more than offset by losses on the
southern side of the wedge, extending
from Bt. lllhlel eastward to Pont-a-Mous-non.
By sharp counter attacks the Ger
mans have advanced their lines at sev
eral points, notably in the Allly and I.e
rretre Forest, at the t.ame time repelling
(he most furious French attacks.
