ceded by Artillery L?ombardme*t.
Anticipating an offensive by the allies
oil the western front, the Hermans
launched a general attack in
Champagne over a front of tive mile*
in an effort to recover ground re
cently lost to the Freneh. They sueceeded
in recapturing the Butte dc
Tali ure. but according; to the French
account, were repulsed everywhere
else, suffering extremely heavy losses,
and to the north of I.o Mcsnil they
actually lost one of their own
trenches.
As usual, the attack was preceded
by anvartillery bombardment, and the
French report speaks of masses of infantry
being decimated. There also
Hr-: ^ has been some lighting in Artois.
Despite i<ie coming of winter there
has been more activity on the Busp?3j>
* sian front. True, there has been a
j?M?.~Iflull in the lighting in Courhind. where
sEm,., the Germans have apparently failed
to take Kiga or Dvinsk or to
prove to any marked degree their posigKfc"
tion. It is believed that tliey are
