MOWED DOWN BY GUNS
PARIS. Oct. 21.
A mighty effort to break through the
French lines east of Rhems Is being
made by the Germans.
Following a terrific bombardment three
fierce infantry attacks were launched, but
all were repulsed, according to an official
communique Issued by the French War

The Germans suffered enormous losses,
the communique states. '
The attacking forces were sent forward
in close formation over a five-mile front
and were mowed dowrt In heaps by the
deadly rifle and machine gun fire of the
Fronch. - '
The text of the communique from the
War Office follows:
"Following the bombardnfent reDorted
.lasrnJffht 4otheaat jf-Rhclm on a
front of some eight to nine kilometres
(4.9ft to B Eg miles) which 'extend between
the biitte of'Tlr and Prunay, the Germans
renewed the ittack which had been
checked the night before In the same re
gions Despite, the violence of the artil
lery fire and the density of the clouds of
suffocating gas, the, enemy rcbelved an
other check.
"The enemy tried three tlmes(to pene
trate our positions. The attacking troops
were cut down by the fire of our ma
chjne guns and the storms of shells from
our artillery. They were finally stopped
before our wire entanglements and were
not able to reach at a single point our
first line of trenches.
"During the night we likewise repulsed
a German attack against our positions in
GIvency forest northeast of Souchez.
"In Lorraine a surprise attack attempt
ed by the enemy against our observation
posts to the cast of Moncel were com
pletely broken up.
"There Is nothing to report on the rest
of the front."

their entire practice this afternoon to
testing out some of the line candidates
for the game with Pittsburgh on Satur
day. It has been virtually decided that
Mathews will atari at left tackle.
Mathews has Improved greatly but Line
Counch Doctor Wharton Is afraid that a
further Injury would put him out for
the season. There are three men who are
lighting for Mathews' berth. They are
Russell, last year's guard: Keppler and
Dunlop. The last two are doing very
well, bur both are green, and Doctor
Wharton la afraid to risk theni. Another
possibility Doctor, Wharton had ip mind
was the shifting 'of Nelll to tackle 'with
either Russell or Dorlzas taking7 his place
at guard. ,
As soon aa the line men reported, Doc
tor Wharton called them together and
outlined the system Of line play he
wanted them to tut. He la not at all
pleased with tho work of Henntng, and
