MANY GERMAN ATTACKS.

VIOLENT ACTIONS ON THE MEUSE

WORK LOST AND RETAKEN AT

HILL 304

Paris, June 30

A communique states that the Germans attacked the salient on the Nieu-port-Lombaertzyde road. A counter-at-tack drove them out from a portion of a trench where they had gained a footing.

Our fire caught a strong German reconnaissance between Chaulnes and Rove and dispersed it before it rieared our trenches. Other patrols met with the same fate at Quennevivres and northeast of Vingre.

The enemy vigorously renewed the offensive from Avocourt Wood to east of Hill 304.

A series of most violent actions, preceded by intense bombardment, accompanied with jets of liquid flame, were made against the principal salients. Our fire broke the attempt, and inflicted heavy losses. East of Hill 304 the enemy succeded in gaining a small fortified work in the first line. The garrison was literally buried by the bombardment.

A counter-attack at four in the morning recovered the work.
