MATCHED
(Received August 18, 12.30 p.m.)
PARIS, 17th August. The Petit 'Parisian says that the French successes on the Somme on Wednesday were not a, surprise to the Germans, who wore fully aware that the attack was imminent, after a two days' bombardment, but the German artillery was no match for the French. The French losses were not heavy.
Tho Germans still hold Guillemont and a portion of Maurepas, thanks to the proximity of Combles, which is a veritable fortress.
