CEASELESS ATTACKS ON THIAUMONT.
. FORT CHANGES HANDS FIVE TIMES. NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE FRENCH. LONDON, July 3. All reports prove that the Germans are lying in claiming the capture of Thiaumcnt Fort, north of Verdun. It is the same type of falsehood as they used with regard to Douaumont. The French captured Thiaumont at ten o'clock on Friday morning. The Germans re-entered at three o'clock in the afternoon, but were turned out within 90 minutes. The Germans in the evening made a series of furious attacks and retook the work. The French on Satur- , day morning again captured the work, and the Germans bombarded it all day ■without result.
