PARIS, April 11.-There was a ces-
sation of German infantry assaults to the west of the Mouse to-day although the bombardment of French lines bet- ween Le Mort Homme and Cumiercs continued, according to an oillcial re- port tonight. A powerful attack how- cver was delivered against tho French trenches between Douamont and Vnux, east of the Mouse. The Germans. at this point succeeded in getting s foothold in the French_ advanced trenches but were driven out by a counter attack. The text of the state ment follows: North of the Alsno our artillery took under its fire u strong Gorman column which was mov ing along the highway called the Clic- niin des Dames. A well directed fire caused serious losses to the enemy.
In Argonne our artillery was iuost
active against the whole enemy front West ot' the Meusc there was a quitc intense bombardment during tho course of the day against our front extending from Le Mort Homme to Cumieres but no infantry action. East of the Mouse after very violent pre- paration which was completed by an intense discharge of lucrymosal shells the Germans about four o'clock launch- ed a strong attack against our trenches between Douaumont and Vaux. The enemy who had gained a footing in soine advanced sections of our lines was driven out a little later by a coun ter attack by our troops in the course of which about 100 unwounded German prisoners, including an officer, were taken.
_ln the Woevrc artillery actions oc- curred in the sectors of Maulalnvillc Ronvaux and Chatillion. North East of St. Michiel our long range guns successfully cannonadod a waiting train to the north of Heudicourt sta- tion.
There was no occurrence of impor-
tance on the rest of the front.
Last night one of our aerial squad-
rons dropped 27 and 21 shells respec- tively on the stations at Nautil- lois and Brieukkers. The ,same squad- at' long range.

o. British uiliclul statement issued lust night. We hold three craters, but not the other two. To-day the enemy ex- ploded minos to north-cast of Ver- meiles, damaging n. portion of an old crater but without altering thc situa- tiun. ’l`hl:r-J was considerable artillery activity opposite Wytzchactc and an in1portant_ artillery engagement near Souchez and cast of Ypres. During eight air fights yesterday our machines drove down one of the enemy without sustaining any loss. but one of our aeroplnnes was brought down by gun- fire. _

LONDON, April 11.-The armies oi'
the Gorman Crown Prince around Ver- dun are still vigorously on thc offen- sive agaiust _thc l"rench. liuvlng dc- livcred an attack along thc lilies from Lc Mort ilonnnc to Culniercs. which netted them u few s1nall;porticns oi' ldrcnch trenches. On tho east, oi’ Lc Mort Iiommc the German colnuntnders rested their infantry here, but in the region of Doununiont and Vuux, north- east oi' Verduu they threw their men in large numbers against French trenches. Here again they inet with success only for a short period of time for the French In n counter-attack drove the invaders from the advanced sections of the trenches they captured and in the operation took one hundred German prisoners. While the Douau- mont and Vnux at‘|.ck was in progress the Germans had not forgotten the line between Le Mort. Homme and Cum- icres and covered the entire region with intense artillery fire, probably preparing for another infantry attack. Along thc -rcmainedr of the front in Franco and Belgium tlicro were only artillery bombardments. In one of these, north of the Aisuc, French guns caused serious losses to a strong Ger man column ou the march.
in the Russian theatre an attempt
by the Germans to take the offensive in the region of lskull brldgehcad was stopped by the Russians. Big guns on both sides have been busy at vari- ous points ‘elsewhere along the front. Petrograd reports that the Russians are continuing to gain ground against the Turks in the region of -Erzerum. L'\»f.|Itcial advices are to the effect that the Turlrs regrouped their forces and
