We usually print a few extra

We .are always glad to do this
with the fellows who hand over

owes us a dollar or two and has
been marked off the list comes
along and asks for a gift, we
feel like telling him about half

Big New Offensive Started By
Germans
What seemingly is a new ,
exeat offensivp with itc r*hio/?t?i?o
the capture of Verdun has beer 1
launched by the Germans northeast
and northwest of the fortress. (
In both sectors gains for the Ger
mans are chronicled in the latest
French official communication.
In the former sector, between i
Haudremont and Douaumont,
French first line trenches over
nearly a third of a mile were entered
by the Germans, while
northwest of Verdun, to the ea t
of Hill 304, they penetrated un
derground passageways of the
French
Except near Hill 304, however,
the entire attack thrown against
the sector net ween Hill 304 and
Lc Morte Homme was repulsed
with serious losses to the Germans.
A similar fate befell .hel
attacking forces in the northeast
except in the region of the
Ilaudremont wood. Both atacks
were delivered after heavy pre ;
paratory bombardments.
