Fierce Fighting AsFrenchLaunch Counter Attacks

Germans TQE French Soil For First Time In War —- Are Pushed Back Later.

(By Taylor Henry, Associated Press Staff Writer)

PARIS, Oct. 16—(AP)—Nazi troops today launched a. long-awaited attack in force against French positions on the northern flank of the western front.

Theydrove the French otit of German territory at one point, and although thrown back still held a precarious foothold on French soil for the first time since the ivar

began.

A communique issued by the French high command acknowledged tonight that the Germans fought their way into the French village of Apache before they were thrown back by a French coiinter-attack.

The fighting lasted all day and as night fell the Ger- mans apparently still held the heights of Schnceherg north of Apache on western slopes that reach into France.

The 9:05 P. M. (4:05 P. M. AST)

French High Command said “thrown back” to “ihe north of Apache" after penetrating

the village.

Although the German’ attack covered i], front of foit: miles, the mnn force of the blow vzos deliv- erz-d at the junction of the French- Germnn-Luxembourg frontiers on the extreme northern flank of the WUslCTH front.

Here the French established poiztlons during the first 11101101 of the war to prevent the Germans from driving through neutral Luxembourg territory to out-flank the whole French front.

Since the French had been hold- lnq advance positions some two miles inside German territory at this point, it appeared to military OlXBIVGTS that today's German attack obviously had driven the French beck that distance.
