Our wonderful French Allies last Saturday made another bound forward
north of Verdun, and captured a froth series of German positions ona fronted a mile and a half east of the Meuse. The French objectives were the northern side of the Fosses Wood, the Chaumo Wood, and the crest north of the Cauribres Wood. All these were taken, in spite of a desperate resistance. The enemy left eight hundred prisoners in the hands of the French, and more than a thousand dead in front of the Fosses Wood alone. This attack evidently anticipated a very violent counter-attack which the enemy delivered next day on 1E11344, between the Fosses Wood and the river. The Germane came on again and again " with great fury," and got into the French lines on either side of the hill, but were quickly expelled and thrown back with great losses. This important defeat confirms anew the manifeet superiority of the French veterans over the enemy, who now seems unable either to hold any position against a resolute attack or to make an effective assault on his own account. Verdun has been the grave of Germany's military reputation.
