I
BRITISH ATTACKS AT LOOS
ARE ALL OF THEM BEATEN
BERLIN, Jan. 18.—The British
"began several smashes at the Ger
man positions at Loos today and in
all of them were heavily repulsed.
Bitter hand to hand combats re
sulted from these attacks. It is
almost certain that the British are
inaugurating a series of attacks at
widely different points in an effort
to feel out the strength of the Ger
man opposition on the west front.
The attacks south of Arras, Ypres,
on the Ancre and Somme all have
this end in view.
It is now raining almost daily
along the Somme front and opera
tions there are very improbable on
either side for some time to come.
PARIS, Jan. IS.—The Germans
imade several attempts to re-conquer
the heights of the Meuse lost in
yesterday’s fighting. They were re
pulsed with heavy loss.
It is reported by airmen that sup
ply trains are now stacking up
great artillery munitions at the
back of the German lines in the
Verdun spctor looking to the renew
al of the battle in this vicinity. It
is believed that any attempted of
fensive in this section will be fol
lowed by a heavy counter on the
Somme.
LONDON, Jan. 18.—Raids upon
a variety of German positions are
reported with no important result
by General Haig today. Owing to
weather conditions in the west,
there is likely to be no interruption
in the lull that generally prevails
in trench fighting during this sea
son.
The situation shows no change
today.
Anything in the line of job wort
FIGHTING IN EAST IS
STILL IN TEUTONS FAVOR
BERLIN, Jan. IS.—The Germans (
captured strong enemy positions
between the Putna and Suehitza val
leys.
The fighting has been of a despe
rate nature owing to the heavy re
sistance which the enemy both
Slavs and Rumanians are offering
to the Teuton advance. The Ger
mans took three hundred prisoners
today and completely demolished
one line of defenses of the enemy.
BERLIN, Jan. 18.—Strong Rus
sian attacks melted under the seduc
tive force of the Teuton artillery
in the Oitoz Pass region where the
Slavic offensive is apparently un
fruitful. The south Oitoz valley
has now been the scene of heavy
Russian counters for two weeks
with hardly any gains to be cre
ditted to the Slavs although their
losses must be enormous.
PETROGRAD, Jan. IS. — The
Headquarters staff denies that the
Germans made a single gain for two
days in the entire Rumanian front.
Oq the other hand the Grand Head
quarters bulletins successful attacks
in the Oitoz pass and the complete
withdrawal of Teutons from favor
able positions and which the Slavs
have now occupied. The effort of
the Teutons to force an advance
across the Putna valley proved use
less and costly and their losses
are enormous.
The Russian reports assert that
the Teutons for two days have re
ported fictitious gains while the si
tuation is really deadlocked.
