BRITISH BUNS ROM ALONG SEVENTY MILE FRONT
German Offensive Malted
French Counter-Attacks
PARIS, June 28.—Pressure on
other sections of the German lines
in the west may have been respons
ible for the successes of a deter
mined counter attack of the French
in the Verdun section which has
successfully halted the German of
fensive and compels them to aband
on almost all of three days gains
after heavy fighting.
The German efforts to hold Fleury
proved fruitless before the French
assaults, the French driving them
back north of the village where the
battle is still raging. The lighting;
for the possession of Thlaumont was
desperate and bloody, the German3
giving way before the persistent as
saults of the French. The loss;s
were large on both sides. There is
decided French artillery activity in
the Avoneourt sections while the
Chattoucourt sector also sees a de
termined French advance.
LONDON, June 2S.—The British
pressure remains heaviy against the !
German lines along the entire west
ern front, with gains recorded in
almost every section. Again tha
n-ght bombardment that has boov
so effective for the past three days
is once more witnessed preparatory
to another attack with infantry to
morrow.
The papers comment upon the
small loss of life reported In these
engagements.

Saxton proved of adamantine puri-1

Before leaving the offices of the
Distri it Attorney it was shown him
that none of these present would
jualify as jurors in case the coun

testify against them. Some of the
committee made a forceful plea
against the distribution of the wo
men over the town, some of the
women having already purchased
sabins close by the residences of the
committeemen's families.
One of the lawyers present showed
the District Attorney that the wom

the District Attorney stood pat and
