FIGHTING AT VERMIN.
FRENCH TAKE TRENCHES. VIOLENT GERMAN ATTACK. (Received June 19. 1 a.m.) PARIS. JUNE 18. An official communique says : "We captured positions in the enemy trenches north of Hill 321, and took some prisoners. A violent German offensive took place from Hill 321 to a point near Hill 320, the latter half a mile northward of Fleury, and strongly held. It is slightly nearer Verdun than any point hitherto within the zone of infantry encounters. A strenuous artillery duel has begun in the sector northward of Fleury.
