The French repulsed two counter attacks upon the village of Campagne, maintaining their positions. In the region of the Ailette the French made fresh progress in the wood west of Coucy-le-Chateau and east of Pont St. Mard. One hundred prisoners remained in the hands of the French. In the Champagne an enemy raid in the region of Auberive was without result. GERMAN (NIGHT) —-The English have attacked between the

Scarpe and.the .Somme. ~ Tq the southeast of and to the north of Peronne they gained ground. Reserves met their thrust. On both sides of the enemy was repulsed. Between the Oise and the Aisne French attacks developed this afternoon after strong artillery fighting. GERMAN (DAY) —There have been forefield engagements on both sides of the Lys. » Between the Scarpe and the Somme, the British are continuing their attacks on a front forty-five kilometers (twenty-eight miles) wide. The effect of our artillery fire against troops placed in readiness by THE the enemy southeast of Arras and on both sides of Bapaume ap- SWAT LIE preciably contributed toward their repulse. The hottest points in the fighting were at Hendecourt and Noreuil, the shell crater field east of Bapaume and between Rancourt and Bouchavesnes. The enemy north of Hendecourt won ground in the direction of Cagnicourt. He was driven back to Hendecourt by our counter attack. Fighting took place for a long time around Noreuil. It remained in our possession. On both sides of Vaulx-Vrau court a tank attack failed. During this period the occupants of an airplane, Lieut. Schweiffegor and Vice- Sergeant-Major Guenter, shot a tank into flames with their machine guns. Another was destroyed by artillery fire. Southeast of Bapaume we repulsed an enemy attack, the main weight of which was directed against Villers-au-Flos. North of the Somme we brought the enemy, who since the early morning had pushed forward strong forces, to a standstill on the line of Sailly-Saillisel, St. Pierre, Vaast Wood and east of Bouchavesnes and Mont St. Quentin. Peronne was occupied by the enemy. On both sides of Nesle the French continued to attack. After the strongest drumfire he once more attempted by means of deeply echeloned infantry attacks to break through the canal position. North of the Nesle-Ham railway line Infantry Regiment 56, under the leadership of Major von Loedbeke, made every enemy assault fail. In renewed attacks during the eyening, in cooperation with a Hessian company, it drove the enemy out if its lines where he had penetrated them. Field artillery which advanced with the first line of infantry to counter attack played an important part in this success. South of the Nesle-Ham railway lines Brandenburgian and Silesian troops completely repulsed the enemy before their lines. French attacks during the evening south of Libermont broke down. On both sides of Noyon enemy infantry, after the heavy fighting of August 31, which was productive of heavy losses for them, re- mained inactive. Also between the Oise and the Aisne fighting activity, was restricted mostly to artillery duels. Powerful enemy attacks on the'Ailette plain and north of Sois- sons were repulsed.
