GERMANS LOSE HEAVILY IN CHAMPAGNE.
Received August 12, 11.30 pm
LONDON, August 11
French communiques—North of St. Quentin we regained the greater portion of elements in which the enemy obtained a footing on the 10th.
In the Champagne, after artillery preparation, the enemy delivered simultaneous attacks east and west of Mount CorMllet. Our- fire stopped dead assaulting waves with heavy losses. North of Mount Cornillet the enemy penetrated our advanced line, but a counter-offensive recaptured the trench with the exception of fifty metres.
