GERMANS' DESPERATE ASSAULTS
FRENCH CONFIDENT OF THE | RESULT. 1 (Received Juno 1, 10.30 a.m.) PARIS, May 31. A semi-official report states that ani other hill in" tho general operations against the whole of the Mart Homme and Curniores region was followed on Monday aftornoon by a double bloody defeat of the onomy at Mort Homme and Hill 30-4.
Tho Germans succeeded in taking Louchress temporarily, and some portions of the first-lino trenches, by throwing whole divisions upon a twomilo front, those participating in tins action being fresh troops drawn from other parts of tho Western front. This proves that the exhaustion of their reserves compels the enemy to deplete the quiet sectors. . Tho French look for the final results of those costly blows with absolute confidence.
