ALL ATTEMPTS HELD OR COUNTERED
[AUSTBALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION AKD BEUTEB.)
* „ • w e v LONDON, 17th July, 5.30 p.m. A French communique states : South of the Marne the Germans attacked last night with fresh forces north of St. Agnan, Chapelle, and Mont Hodon and succeeded in penetrating our lines at La Bourdonnerie. The battle continues bitterly on the wooded sloped immediately south of these points. Further east, in spite of very lively attacks, wo held the enemy on the southern edee of the Bouquigny and Ve3les Woods. The Germans also attempted a powerful effort in'the direction of Mont Vbisin, which they seized, but a counter-attack drove them out. Between the Marne and Reims, violent fighting is proceeding in the Courton Woods. An enemy attack in the region of Vrigny completely failed. East of Reims local enemy attempts were without result, notably in the region of Prunay. The Germans, who are endeavouring to renew their assaults at Beaumont, sustained a sanguinary defeat. We have everywhere entirely maintained our positions. :
