GERMANY'S CAMPAIGNS.
CLAIMS TO SUCCESSES.
A. and N.Z. Cable. LONDON. August 8.
A German communique states: " Between the Ancre and the Somme our curtain of fire checked heavy British attacks, which broke down astride the Albert-Bapaume Road and east of Trones Wood.
"The French made seven attacks between Maurepas and the Somme, but only succeeded in penetrating Monacu Farm. A French advance was repulsed at Barleux and Estrees.
The French on the right bank of the Meuse got a footing on Pepper Ridge and the front trenches southwest of Fleury. The French were heavily repulsed at Thiaumont and south-west of Fleury.
"The Russian attacks on the Kovel-Sarny railway and Brody were repulsed."
